We dive from high altitude and we pick them with our pointed beaks. We are away again before they can reach out to hit us. When we are many, it is quite effective. We have been able to chase away even polar bears.
I like the light all 24 hours of the day. I do not like it to be a dark night. Later in the year, when the chicks have grown large it begins to get dark here. I have heard from the other birds that it eventually becomes completely dark, and it lasts a half year before it gets light again. I do not want to experience this, so we terns break up and fly south. We'll fly down to Antarctica where the south pole is located. On the trip, we see many things. We cross the equator where it is very hot, and we see black nights en route. They last however, only a few hours before it again becomes bright day. When we get down to Antarctica the light is back again all the time. Meanwhile the northern hemisphere have winter and darkness. When it gets dark here, it's time to return to the Arctic summer in Svalbard and breed another flock of chicks
