The North Atlantic migration route
The North Atlantic migration route refers to the seasonal movement of birds, whales, and some marine animals across the North Atlantic Ocean. These species migrate between breeding grounds in North America or Europe and wintering areas in the tropics. Birds typically travel along specific paths that follow favorable winds and air currents, often taking advantage of landforms or ocean features for navigation. Marine animals like whales travel long distances, often along established corridors, to find food or breeding sites. This route is crucial for their survival and is influenced by climate, ocean conditions, and prey availability.
