"Captivating Bearded Seals: Surviving the Melting Arctic" As temperatures rise in the Arctic Sea, a bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus) finds solace on a section of remaining ice. This majestic creature, captured off the Svalbard Islands in Norway on July 7th, 2022, symbolizes the struggle faced by wildlife as their icy habitats disappear. In an enchanting lithograph from 1863-79, we witness another bearded seal resting on pack ice north of Svalbard. Its youthful presence reminds us of the vulnerability these seals face amidst changing environmental conditions. The pack ice becomes their sanctuary - a place where they can haul out and find respite. A striking portrait showcases a young bearded seal perched gracefully on this frozen expanse. The image echoes with both beauty and concern for its future. Spitsbergen, located in Svalbard's archipelago, witnesses yet another resilient bearded seal hauled out on ice during September. Picture No. 11992382 captures this moment perfectly – showcasing nature's delicate balance against an ever-changing backdrop. Norway's Svalbard is not alone in witnessing these incredible creatures seeking refuge. In Canada's Nunavut Territory lies Repulse Bay – home to more resting bearded seals (Picture No. 11992381). These images remind us that conservation efforts must extend beyond borders to protect these vulnerable species. However, life in the Arctic is not without its challenges for both predator and prey alike. An adult male polar bear proudly displays his successful hunt – a bearded seal kill atop an ice floe near Storoya Island in Norway's Svalbard region. This poignant scene serves as a reminder of nature's intricate web and how changes affect every link within it, and are emblematic of resilience and adaptability; they navigate through uncertain times while relying heavily on the ice that is rapidly diminishing.
