Brinicles

You learn something new every day. Yesterday, I learned about brinicles. Ooer!


Click the pic to watch the video clip from BBC Nature News which shows a brinicle forming, and time lapse footage of starfish moving about before the icy finger of death causes freezing of the ocean floor, trapping the poor stars. The footage is taken under the sea ice near the foothills of Mt Erebus, Antarctica.
