Photo by @FransLanting // Albatrosses are experts at exploiting both heavy winds and sea-surface air currents that give them a lift up from the waves. To use the wind to their best advantage, albatrosses usually fly less than 50 feet above the water. Here gale force blasts churn the South Atlantic off the Falkland Islands as the birds ride roller coaster air currents with ease.
