Wandering Albatross spend about 75% of their lives on the wing over water, searching for food.

These animals breed in the sub-Antarctic islands, and are not found on the continent itself.

No. The continent of Antarctica is too cold to support any animal life, plus there is no food chain on the continent.

Albatross are sea birds, that live 75% of their lives on the wing over sea water. Their habitat in the Southern Hemisphere may take them to the northern-most Sub-Antarctic islands to breed.

No animal lives in Antarctica.

Albatross breed on sub-Antarctic islands because there are no predators there. Albatross live about 75% of their lives on the wing over open water.

The lack of land predators is the reason why other sea birds breed on the continent's beaches.
