Ice Seal Tracking Maps Archive

Over the last 14 days we have received transmissions from 4 ringed (solid lines) and 3 bearded (dashed lines) seals. The seals have remained in the same, generally small areas in Kotzebue and Norton sounds, except for one ringed seal that has moved south between Wales and Nome. Sea ice data are courtesy of the NASA Rapid Response Network, dated 21 April (https://earthdata.nasa.gov/). A thin cloud layer is covering Kotzebue Sound but you can still see the ice coverage through the clouds.
