Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Harp seal pup diving
Harp seal (Phoca groenlandica or Pagophilus groenlandicus) diving under ice floes. This two week old pup has begun to shed its all-white juvenile coat. The white fur was once prized by hunters but now hunting is restricted to older seals. The harp seal is found in Arctic and north Atlantic waters. Populations migrate, gathering to breed on pack ice before dispersing widely for the summer. The harp seal can eat as much as 5% of its body weight in fish per day. It also feeds on shrimp and krill. It typically dives to 100 metres (m) and can go below 270m. It is about 1.7m long with a weight of around 130 kilograms. Photo- graphed in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the life of a harp seal pup. Just two weeks old, this adorable creature is seen diving gracefully under ice floes in the Arctic waters. As it matures, the pup will shed its all-white juvenile coat, once highly sought after by hunters but now protected for younger seals. The harp seal is known for its remarkable migratory patterns, gathering on pack ice to breed before dispersing widely during the summer months. With an insatiable appetite, this marine mammal can consume up to 5% of its body weight in fish daily, along with shrimp and krill. Its impressive diving abilities allow it to reach depths of up to 270 meters beneath the surface. Measuring around 1.7 meters long and weighing approximately 130 kilograms, this young harp seal exemplifies both strength and grace as it navigates through icy waters. The photograph was taken in Canada's Gulf of Saint Lawrence, showcasing the stunning natural beauty found within these northern regions. With keywords ranging from nature and wildlife to zoology and marine life, this image encapsulates the essence of a playful yet vulnerable creature thriving amidst challenging environments. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these magnificent animals and their habitats for generations to come.
