Damn Nature U Scary of the Day: Even the dulcet narration of Sir David Attenborough can’t temper the terror of the underwater “Icicle of Death.”
The temperature of this sinking brine, which was well below 0C, caused the water to freeze in an icy sheath around it.
Where the so-called ‘brinicle’ met the sea bed a web of ice formed freezing everything it touched, including sea urchins and starfish.
RIP Patrick Star.
