10) Steller’s sea eagles (Haliaeetus pelagicus) are one of the largest birds of prey in the world, weighing an average of 6.8 – 9 kg and with a wingspan of up to 2.4 m! These magnificent birds spend summer in the Siberian Arctic, breeding on the Kamchatka Peninsula, but in winter most migrate south to Hokkaido in Japan and the neighbouring Kurile Islands, following the advancing ice as the northern seas freeze over.
