📝 Quick summary of key information
Which bird travels the farthest in the world?
The barn swallow is one of the birds that travel the farthest during their migrations. It lives in Europe and Asia during the summer, where it builds its nests under the roofs of houses.
In winter, it flies to Africa to escape the cold. It follows the insects that fly in the air, its main food. These trips are very important for its survival.
To guide herself, the swallow uses natural landmarks like mountains, rivers, and stars. She is a true sky navigator, able to travel thousands of miles.
Barn swallows are very helpful because they eat lots of insects, helping to control the number of harmful bugs. They also play an important role in helping flowers make seeds.

The Long Journey of the Arctic Tern
Which bird travels the farthest in the world?
The Meeting with Stella the Arctic Tern
After discovering the secrets of the Arctic hare's camouflage, Niko and Nuna continue their exploration. The Arctic hare, Lumi, taught them to observe nature carefully to blend in perfectly. The two young penguins, curious and determined, follow their map, ready to discover new wonders on the ice (1). The cold wind blows gently, but their energy and enthusiasm keep them warm. They walk quickly, their little feet sliding on the pristine snow.
Niko, all excited, shows Nuna:
« Look, Nuna, a star map. »
Nuna, amazed, says:
« Look, Niko, it's the star map that Lumi showed us. We can use it to guide our way. It's wonderful, isn't it? »
Soon after, a small, elegant (2) bird lands near them. It's Stella the Arctic Tern. Her white and gray feathers (3), with a bright orange beak and black legs, immediately catch their attention.
Stella the Arctic Tern, curious and full of energy, says:
« Hello, I am Stella. You have a star map. »
Niko, with a smile, says:
« Yes, we found it. »
Curious, Nuna says:
« We want to find new secrets. »
Stella the Arctic Tern, with a mischievous look, says:
« I know a secret place on the ice. »
Stella tells them a story about an old secret hideout (4) on the ice, which might be the place where the treasure is!
The Journey to the Secret Hideout
The three friends are excited to find this secret hideout. Stella the Arctic Tern tells them the path will be tough, but they can do it together.
Stella the Arctic Tern, with a confident smile, says:
« Follow me, I know the way. »
Niko, with a determined smile, says:
« We are ready, Stella the Arctic Tern. »
Nuna, her eyes sparkling with excitement, exclaims:
« Let's go, it's exciting. »
After following the clues and the star maps, the trio is led to a mysterious place. Stella, who knows the vast (5) icy plains well, guides them with confidence. Upon arrival, they discover an ancient secret hideout on the ice floe. This place, hidden under a thick layer of ice, holds ancient secrets. Niko, Nuna, and Stella explore the area with curiosity, finding remnants of the past. They find old objects and mysterious writings (6) that seem to tell the story of the ice floe's inhabitants. They realize that this hideout might be the place where the treasure is hidden. The map seems to lead them to another mystery, but for now, they enjoy the discovery of this enchanted place.
