Boston Seals
Photograph by Sarah Burke, My Shot
Last weekend’s blizzard left parts of the Northeast covered in 3 feet (0.9 meter) of snow. As people dug out, many answered our call to submit photos from the storm.
There’s still time to submit your photos to National Geographic’s Your Shot; editors review all entries for possible publication in National Geographic magazine. Your photograph may also be included in our editors' pick of the Daily Dozen.
Sarah Burke sent in this photo from Boston. She ventured out after the storm and captured these seals in a tank at the New England Aquarium.
