White Sea Traps Seal Pups

Visualizations by Alex Kekesi Released on May 15, 2001
According to reports, some 200,000 young seals face starvation after becoming trapped on ice in the White Sea of northern Russia. The seals, born last year, should have floated on the ice out to the nearby Barents Sea, but the ice this year has remained stuck to the shores of the White Sea.
