The Arctic tern has the longest migration of any bird. Every years it flies up to 25,000 miles between the Arctic and the Antarctic and back, with much of the flying done over water. It nests on the Arctic region. When the young are old enough to fly the whole family flies south to Antarctica. The tern's wings are long and powerful and they can make steady headway even against strong headwinds.
