Elephant Seal Tagging
Elephant seals act as living submarines, diving as deep as 5,500 feet and staying under the ice for up to 90 minutes. Seals are tagged to create a record of the increasing seawater temperature. The sedated seal is fitted with miniature oceanographic sensors. They’ll record the location, depth

Antarctic Fur Seals vs. Leopard Seals
Leopard seals are the only seals that prey on other seal species although fur seals have rarely been on the menu before. These leopard seals should be living in sea ice, hunting other ice-dwelling seals but they have switched to a new food source.

Finding Methane Bubbles in Permafrost
The ground is made up of both ice and frozen soil called permafrost. As the permafrost thaws, the ground sinks and floods. The ice traps gases bubbling up from the decomposing permafrost. Methane traps 30 times more heat in the atmosphere than C02. As the world gets hotter, the permafrost

Coral Collection
Coral Reefs make up less than 1% of the ocean but support a quarter of all marine life and provide food, income and protection from storms for around one billion people worldwide. Each coral specimen collected will be taken ashore to live in a specially-designed facility where it can be
