I encountered this harp seal in a snowy afternoon in Brigus South, a small fishing community in Newfoundland, Canada. Seal culture has been an indispensable part of Newfoundland for centuries. Many Newfoundlanders used to make their living by seal hunting. Now with the rising awareness of nature-protection, Newfoundlanders and seals are co-existing in a harmonious way.
