Albatrosses listen to the ocean to find their way Albatrosses follow infrasound signals from the ocean to find feeding grounds and optimal flight conditions.

15 out of 22 #albatross species are threatened with #extinction. To raise awareness of this #conservation crisis, we celebrate #WorldAlbatrossDay on June, 19th.

On that occasion, I share a great science fact about albatrosses in my latest newsletter. 🪶🧪
