What is the albatross habitat?

Albatrosses are pelagic birds, typically found on colder ocean waters where upwelling makes food more abundant. They come to land only to breed, nesting on remote, predator-free islands, usually far from the mainland. Albatrosses are conspicuously absent from the North Atlantic Ocean.
