Loons are the only surviving members of an ancient orders of birds, the Gaviiformes, which has a fossil record extending back to the Lower Cretaceous, more than 100 million years ago. Loons comprise their own family, the Gaviidae, which consists of 12 extinct and five surviving (extant) species. All of the extant species of loons live in the northern hemisphere, where they breed on lakes and ponds, from the northern part of the temperate zone to the high arctic, and winter on marine water, near the shore, mostly in temperate and boreal climates. All of the loons have, to varying degrees, a HolArctic distribution, meaning they occur throughout most of the Northern hemisphere, in both Eurasia and North America. In Eurasia loons are called divers.
