On the straight and narrow: Directed movement by Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) during on-ice travel
Locations of six Weddell seals that had been displaced approximately 10 km from their capture locations in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Each seal was instrumented with a satellite tag and released into one of three isolated breathing holes. After at least 2 days in the water, the seal hauled out and t...

| Summary: | Locations of six Weddell seals that had been displaced approximately 10 km from their capture locations in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Each seal was instrumented with a satellite tag and released into one of three isolated breathing holes. After at least 2 days in the water, the seal hauled out and traveled freely across the sea ice for 2.1-7.5 km before being recaptured. |
