A satellite-tracked juvenile southern elephant seal travelled more than 16,000 kilometers over the course of nearly 10 months after departing from the Chilean coast of Tierra del Fuego. The journey mapped previously unknown migratory paths across the extreme southern region of South America.
The animal's route spanned across both Chile and Argentina, navigating through fjords, channels, and deep waters to reveal previously undocumented movement patterns between the two countries in the southern cone.
