Ice Seal Tracking Maps Archive

During the last 10 days we have received locations for 4 bearded seals, 2 ringed seals, and 9 spotted seals. Two spotted seals, SS16-01-F (orange circle) and SS16-05-M (blue circle), are located in Chukchi Sea. The remaining seals are south of the Bering Strait and range, east to west, from Norton Sound to Anadyr Gulf, and south to the southeast Bering Sea, near Scammon Bay and Nunivak Island.
