About this reel

This reel explores the remarkable annual migration of tiny Arctic terns across vast distances. The narration details their journey from the frozen north to the Antarctic summer, covering over 40,000 miles annually. It highlights how these birds navigate using natural cues like sunlight, stars, and Earth's magnetic field, despite being so small they weigh less than a coffee mug. The video also touches on theories about how young terns find their way without guidance, the role of smell and coastline shape in navigation, and the sheer distance traveled over a lifetime. Perfect for nature enthusiasts and those curious about animal behavior.
