Antarctica's climate makes it challenging for humans to carry out research there. That's why a team of scientists at the University of St Andrews have enlisted seals to help them gather data.
Scientists are investigating how environmental changes in Antarctica will impact the rest of the world, but the continent's remote location and hostile climate, with winter temperatures that plummet to well below -100°F, make it an incredibly challenging environment for humans.
