They spend the summer there. Summer in Antarctica is from December to March.
The birds eat small fish. They need fuel to fly back to the arctic. Fuel gives the power to move or run. Just like a car needs gas to run.
The birds start to fly back in April. They reach the Arctic by May or June.
What Do You Think? Do other birds fly long distances? How could you find out?
