FA015_Harp seal
New born Harp seals are white. They remain white until about two weeks old, and during that time they are called white coats. To take this picture I was flown out onto the sea ice by a helicopter and left alone with my colleague for 4 hours. It was an incredible feeling when the helicopter left and we were alone on the ice and all we could hear was seal pups all around us begging for food. Land was not in sight. East Greenland 2012..
