Two Nordic Sterns flying over the water of Jökulsárlón gletscher lake in the south of Iceland. The Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. This bird has a circumpolar breeding distribution covering the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America (as far south as Brittany and Massachusetts). The species is strongly migratory, seeing two summers each year as it migrates along a convoluted route from its northern breeding grounds to the Antarctic coast. Recent studies have shown average annual roundtrip lengths of about 70,900 km (c. 44,300 miles) for birds nesting in Iceland and Greenland.

The Arctic Tern breeds in the arctic regions around the world and winters in the Antarctic, making at least a 19,000 km (12,000 mi) flight between the two twice a year, mostly over open ocean; thus, this bird has the longest migration and sees more daylight than any animal on earth.

Arctic terns in Jokulsarlon (glacial river lagoon) - a large gorgeous glacial lake full of icebergs in southeast Iceland, on the edge of Vatnajokull National Park. Situated at the head of the Breidamerkurjokull glacier, it developed into a lake after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake is filled with fish that drift in from the sea along with the tides. Seals gather in large numbers at the mouth of the lake to catch fish during the winter and some remain in the summer. Large numbers of seabirds, particularly Arctic terns, which nest nearby, gather to catch herring, trout, salmon and other fish and krill, Iceland
