An adult female ribbon seal rests on an ice floe, looking directly at the camera with a transmitter on top of her head. An adult female ribbon seal (Histriophoca fasciata) with a newly applied transmitter on the top of her head. The transmitter will provide data on her location, diving, and haul-out behavior.
