Arctic Tern on Nest, West Fjords, Iceland

An arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) guards the two eggs in her nest in Iceland's West Fjords. The arctic tern migrates farther than any other known animal, spending the southern hemisphere summer in the ocean off Antarctica and breeding during the northern hemisphere summer near the Arctic Circle. One study found the average arctic tern flies 44,300 miles (70,900 km) per year.
