At the height of the fur seal breeding season the beaches around the sub-antarctic island of South Georgia are thick with seals. Mature males round the females up into harems. The pups explore the area whilst their mothers are at sea feeding before returning to suckle the pup. The males mate the females when they return. Looking down on the water from the cliffs, see the seal ballet as those not breeding socialise and play. This video is attached to the monthly South Georgia newsletter on www.sgisland.gs
