Ice Seal Tracking Maps Archive

During the last seventeen days we have received locations for 1 bearded and 7 spotted seals. Bearded seal BS18-01-F (green square) is in the Chukchi Sea, north of Seward Peninsula. All seven spotted seals have now moved into the Bering Sea. Spotted seal SS18-07-F (purple circle) moved south through the Bering Strait and is now located west of Nome, Alaska. The other 6 spotted seals are in the central Bering Sea, generally in or near the marginal ice zone.
