Which bird flies from one pole to the other?
Arctic terns raise their young during the Arctic summer. Then they fly south to the Antarctic, where summer is just beginning. In the fall they fly north again, making a round trip of 22,400 miles (36,000 km)!
The Arctic tern sees more daylight each year than any other creature.
