The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a remarkable migrator, flying from their northern summer breeding grounds across the arctic and sub-arctic to the Antarctic coast for the southern summer. Arctic terns breeding in Iceland and Greenland were found to travel an average of 70,900 km (44,100 mi) a year, or 2.4 million km (1.5 million mi) over their 30-year lifespan.
