Ships, Sailing, Maritime / miglia
English term or phrase: thousands of miles
Like transatlantic liners, the great marine migrants travel thousands of miles, at various cruising speeds and “drop anchor” in many different places.

Come i transatlantici, anche i grandi migratori marini percorrono migliaia di miglia, a varie velocità di crociera e “gettano l’ancora” in molti luoghi diversi.

"migliaia di miglia" non mi suona bene, ci può essere un'altra soluzione? anche "migliaia di chilometri" non so se è esatto.... grazie mille...

migliaia di miglia/chilometri


Explanation:
Francamente non vedo il problema nel lasciare "migliaia di miglia", basta vedere le migliaia di riscontri in internet, nei contesti più svariati.

in alternativa puoi trasformarle in chilometri, ma questa è una scelta che dipende da te e dalla natura del tuo testo.
