Carcass of an ancient dead seal found in Taylor Valley of the McMurdo Dry Valleys.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This seal was found in Taylor Valley one of the Antarctic Dry Valleys. Animals that die in the Dry Valleys are mummified. They don't break down and rot away like they do in more temperate climates. No one knows why the seals go into the dry valleys, but they regularly wander in, get lost, and perish. This particular seal carcass could be a few years old, a few decades old, or even centuries old.
