The AK Flyway Infographic
Each summer nearly 5 billion birds migrate to Alaska, traveling from around the world via highways in the sky, called “flyways.”
Did you know the Arctic Terns can fly the equivalent of 3 roundtrips to the moon in their average 30-year lives?
The AK Flyway infographic explains the reasons for large bird migrations to Alaska and highlights the journey of six migrants – including the Arctic Tern – that fly from six different continents each summer.
Imagine flying over large oceans and across continents. What challenges would you face? How would you survive?
