Icy “brinicle” kills everything in its path in the waters of Antarctica
With timelapse cameras, specialists recorded salt water being excluded from the sea ice and sinking. 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 that froze everything it touched, including sea urchins and starfish. The unusual phenomenon was filmed for the first time by cameramen Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson for the BBC One series Frozen Planet. RUN STARFISH RUN!
This is like something out of a horror or sci-fi movie. Holy crap. I know it’s time-lapsed, but when you see it happening so quickly like that, it’s definitely disturbing.
