Open to debate, but are the the Southern Ocean Albatross who land only to breed and weather storms the best Glider pilots in the world? Regardless of our discussion, they regularly circumnavigate the globe without flapping a wing doing 10,000km without flapping a wing via dynamic...

Are the Southern Ocean Albatross who land only to breed and weather storms. They regularly circumnavigate the globe without flapping a wing via dynamic soaring.... YET... These guys have 22 species under threat of death and extinction only due to people carrying out industrial fishing. 100,000...
