New Article Online – the Hidden Virtuosos of Antarctica: Seals!

Did you know that the icy waters of the Southern Ocean are alive with song? My latest article for WhaleScientists dives into the incredible vocalizations of Antarctic seals—and trust me, their talent rivals even the famous humpback whale songs that captivated the world in the 1970s.

As I prepare for another journey to Antarctica, I’ve been reflecting on the mesmerizing sounds of marine life I’ve been lucky to experience firsthand. From the otherworldly calls of Weddell seals to the haunting melodies of leopard seals, these pinnipeds are true maestros of the ocean.

Vocalizations aren’t just a whale thing—sounds are vital for marine life communication, especially for pinnipeds, the second largest group of marine mammals. 🦭✨
