The baby seals that have yet to learn to swim hence they need a place to lay while they develope and the adults need a place to breed out of the water. They also sleep above water as well as in water. Due to the ice melting, there has been a huge decline in numbers as the babies drown and less breeding is taking place. Harp seals are now being spotted in parts they have not been found in prior years for breeding.

When ice melts what happens to its chemical composition?
When ice melts, the chemical composition remains the same. Ice is just the solid state of water, so when it melts, it turns into liquid water. The molecules in ice rearrange themselves into a more disordered state to become liquid water, but the chemical makeup of the water molecules themselves does not change.
Why does the color of tea change when ice melts?
When ice melts in tea, it dilutes the tea's concentration, which can change the color. This happens because the molecules that give tea its color become less concentrated as the ice melts, leading to a lighter color. Additionally, light refraction and scattering can play a role in how we perceive the color change as well.
When a ice cube melts what happens to its shape?
As an ice cube melts, it transitions from a solid state to a liquid state. This means that its shape changes as the solid structure breaks down and the molecules move more freely, conforming to the shape of the container it's in.

They can also move very quickly across the ice, by sliding along the ice on their stomachs.
