Albatrosses range widely in the North Pacific and the Southern Ocean. With their large wingspan (up to 3.5 metres (11.5 feet)) they are some of the largest flying birds. The Great albatrosses have the largest wingspans of any living bird.

Shearwaters are related to albatrosses, and fly over the waves with the help of air currents and winds. There are over 30 species of shearwaters. They use islands and cliffs to breed and use burrows for nesting.
