Sealing is the work of hunting or catching seals — the sea animals with whiskers and soft fur, not the stamp you press into wax, and not the act of closing a letter. For a long time, people in cold coastal places lived by sealing: they went out on ice or in boats for meat, oil, and skins. Today many countries have stopped it or keep it under tight rules, because people worry about the animals. The word looks exactly like sealing an envelope and sounds exactly like ceiling, so it is very easy to land on the wrong meaning. Here it is the hunt.
