The icy waters of the Arctic are home to a remarkable variety of seal species, each uniquely adapted to survive in this extreme environment. On an Aurora Expeditions voyage, you may spot these agile marine mammals resting on ice floes, diving through frigid waters, or raising their pups in the safety of snow dens. Discover the fascinating world of Arctic seals and the vital role they play in this fragile polar ecosystem.
Seal Species You Might Encounter
Ringed Seals
The ringed seal is a small, earless Arctic seal, easily recognised by its dark spots encircled with lighter rings. Found across the icy waters of the Arctic and sub-Arctic, ringed seals are agile hunters, feeding on Arctic cod and planktonic crustaceans.
