Winter on the way and seals

 Elephant seals doing not to much.

Sea ice is starting to form.

 Catching a seal to tag and place a recording device.

 A seal just chilling.

Sea ice forming just about as you watch.

The same seal chilling in the distance.

 Weighing the seal it was a small one only 565 kg.

Getting ready to roll the seal after being sedated.

 More seals.

 Random working on the roof.

 Letting this bully who is the boss.


The tracking device in place stuck to the fur with some epoxy. The seals have been recorded diving to depths of 2000 metres
