American photographer Jennifer Hayes captures harp seals and their newborn pups on melting sea ice in this image that won the award for “Oceans: Bigger Picture.” Every autumn, harp seals migrate south from the Arctic to their breeding grounds, delaying births until the sea ice forms. Seals depend on the ice, which means that future population numbers are likely to decline because of climate change.
