The Arctic tern holds the record for the longest migration of any bird, covering approximately 44,000 kilometers (27,000 miles) each way. It travels from its Arctic breeding grounds to the Antarctic and back, making a round trip of about 88,000 kilometers (54,000 miles) annually.
During the breeding season, Arctic terns form large colonies in the Arctic regions. They are known for their highly territorial nature and will vigorously defend their nests against predators, including larger birds and even humans.
While not currently listed as endangered, the Arctic tern faces threats such as climate change, pollution, and disturbances to their breeding grounds. Conservation efforts are essential to ensuring their continued survival.
