Depends on the species but generally the mothers hide them from predators in a hole in the ice. Like a cave with the entrance below so you have to swim to get in. The seal mothers have very, very rich milk so the pups quickly build up a layer of fat to protect them from the cold. They also grow very fast because even in their ice dens they are still in danger of polar bears.
