Arctic Terns fly a long way from pole to pole each migration season! But their migration is not in a straight line, so the actual distance is much greater than the 12,000 miles that separate the north and south poles.
Some scientists state the yearly migration can range from 44,000 miles to 59,000 miles. An Arctic tern, in its lifespan, typically flies a distance equivalent to three round trips to the moon.
