Caption

48 hours in the life of an Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross. The bird encounters a storm off the coast of Uruguay. It flies into the eye of the storm where wind speeds are much lower than the surroundings. Flying into the eye of a storm that is moving away from land could help the bird avoid the mainland.
