Attenzione questo post parla di Lost, della terza stagione, dell’episodio 12 e potrebbe contenere spoiler
From Wikipedia:
The Arctic Tern is famous for its migration; it flies from its Arctic breeding grounds to the Antarctic and back again each year. (19,000 km (12,000 mi) journey).
Artic terns leave Canada, Russia and other northern places and migrate south toward Antarctica during the months of September through November. They spend the summer of the Southern Hemisphere (December January and February) around Antarctica.
Flight 815 crashed on September 22, 2004. The losties have been on the island for 80 days. So the actual time of the calendar year for them is somewhere around the second week of December. So either the writers are off by a few months (doesn’t fit with how they are 100% meticulous with other details) or this lends more evidence to the theory that this island is a REALLY long way from Fugi and is actually very close to Antarctica – and explains why Penny’s guys were in the Antarctic manning the monitoring station looking for an “event”.
Il grassetto è mio e il testo è preso da qui.
Insomma, i naufraghi dovranno attendere Febbraio prima che quegli uccelli, quelli del titolo se ne ritornino a nord o comunque arrivino su qualche terra popolata da esseri umani.
