Record Migration for a Great White Shark (continued)

Finally, after many months hard effort, Lydia the great white shark has crossed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the border between the East and West Atlantic, making her the first ever trans atlantic swimming great white shark!!
  When a scientific research boat hauled her on board for a medical checkup recently, they pronounced her healthy and, what's more, pregnant. Soon, a new great white could be stepping up to face the challenge that its mother was the first to complete. Chris Fischer, one of the scientists who has been monitoring Lydia stated that she was mostly likely heading for the supposed great white birthing grounds in the Mediterranean Sea, which, if that became her destination, make her the longest migrating great white shark in history. Mr. Fischer also added that "If you forced me to guess where that (the birthing grounds) was, I'd say it was over in the Mediterranean, near Turkey... but that's longball I'm playing. She could turn around right now and head back to Florida."
  Congratulations to Lydia, the first ever trans-atlantic swimming shark.

Record Migration for a Great White Shark?

  A great white shark, affectionally named Lydia, was tagged off Florida in March 2013. She was 4.4 metres long. Until now, no great white shark had ever been recorded to have swum across the Atlantic, but Lydia is currently swimming near to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, an underwater mountain range which marks the border between the East and West Atlantic. 
  She is 1, 000 miles from Cornwall, England and an amazing 3, 000 miles from where she was first tagged in Jacksonville, Florida. Since being tagged, she has travelled a breath-taking 19, 000 miles.
  The longest ever migration of a great white was when the shark Nicole swum from South Africa to Australia over a nine month span from November 2003 to August 2004, covering 12, 400 miles.
  Lydia could be well on her way to breaking that record. Any day now, news could come of success.
  Dr Gregory Skomal, senior fisheries biologist with Massachusetts Marine Fisheries, stated that "We have no idea how far she will go, but Europe, the Med, and the coast of Africa are all feasible."
  Good luck to Lydia, who could possibly become the first great white shark to make a trans-Atlantic crossing.
