Seal’s eye view

A drone helped get this birds-eye shot of crabeater seals resting on an ice floe near the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, which won the Animals in Their Environment category of the NHM competition. An uptick in melting sea ice could mean the seals have fewer options when seeking sanctuary from their predators like killer whales, as well as a loss in their main food source, krill, which use ice for shelter and their own meals of algae.
