We had a very intense time on the ice with several 2-4 day old white harp seal pups, although it was very cold which made photography very difficult. The harp seal pups were at peace in their pristine white surroundings and it was extremely sad knowing that most of the seals we photographed would be either be bludgeoned or shot to death in just a few weeks, by men.
