In the work of extracting oil from seal blubber, it was striking to see how stable this oil is. Some oil has been kept for two month in a small, open jar and - despite the fact it had been standing in the furnace room - it had not gone off.

Belugas, seals and other marine mammals have thick layers of fat (blubber) to help them keep warm. This blubber insulates the animals and keeps them warm in the near 0°C temperatures. It also provides an energy reserve. ... Seal blubber can be 5-7.5 cm thick and the blubber of a bowhead whale can be up to 60 cm thick.

These tissues from the gray seal were blubber (as described above), lung (adult male and juvenile female), spleen (juvenile female), liver (juvenile female), and total white blood cells (mixed sex adults).

This is the first demonstration of leptin expression in the lung tissue of a mature mammal, in addition to its expression in the blubber and bone marrow, in common with other animals. We propose a role for leptin in seal pulmonary surfactant production, in addition to its likely role in long-term energy balance.

To them, driving on the ice is like heating up a cup of frosted seal blubber (if memory serves, that's a very popular cold weather saying). It's different here, though. When everyone heard about the ice storm approaching, the common response was to drive home, lock the doors, and bury the keys in the backyard.
