The long-distance relationship of Arctic terns | Excerpt of "Iceland, the Newborn Island"

This documentary takes you on a journey through Iceland, showcasing its Arctic glaciers and breathtaking landscapes while exploring the country's geological transformations and unique geysers. We will also take a close look at the Arctic tern — the bird with the longest migration on Earth. Each year, these birds travel from Antarctica to Iceland to breed. They practice lifelong monogamy, remaining faithful to their partners for life, yet they migrate separately across tens of thousands of kilometers. Over their lifetime, the distance they travel is equivalent to three round trips between Earth and the Moon. This remarkable behavior is both fascinating to humans and a testament to nature’s incredible survival strategies. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 – Glaciers ▷ 01:56 – Geysers ▷ 03:52 – 3.8-billion-year-old rocks ▷ 05:03 – Arctic terns migration from Antarctica to Iceland ▷ 06:45 – Lifelong bond, yet separate migrations ▷ 07:25 – Unmoved by other males ▷ 07:59 – A touching reunion #wildlife #animals #birds #arctictern #iceland #funnywildlife #wildlifeplanet #wildlifephotography ------- Watch the full documentary: https://youtu.be/Lr169_-FZyc Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: https://goo.gl/L5puvQ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- The Arctic fox, the only autochthonous land mammal in Iceland, is one of the species that has been able to adapt to the hard living conditions on this island.
