Our research team is in Antarctica conducting a scientific investigation concerning the feeding biology of Weddell seals. Weddell seals travel to great depths in freezing, dark water where the pressure is so high that it squeezes their lungs to a fraction of their normal size. The question is, how do they do it? The purpose our expedition is to answer this question so that we may better understand the biology of the animals living in the Antarctic ecosystem. \n\nExpedition Site\n
