Monument to seal in Arkhangelsk, Bronze war memorial near Northern Dvina embankment, Arkhangelsk, Russia.
The Monument to Seal features a bronze seal statue on polished black stone, resting upon a whitish-grey granite pedestal representing frozen ice.
During World War II, seal meat and fat became essential resources that prevented starvation among 38,000 residents of Arkhangelsk and Leningrad under siege.
The memorial represents the connection between Arkhangelsk residents and marine life, demonstrating how northern communities adapted to extreme conditions during wartime.
Located at coordinates 64.54389, 40.51056, the 1.4-meter monument stands along Northern Dvina embankment at number 95, near the Northern Russian Sea Museum.
Under the monument lies a capsule containing names of contributors who participated in the creation of this testament to wartime survival.
