Original: “As it touches the seafloor, it kills whatever living thing it contacts by encasing it in a tomb of ice…” 10 mind-bending, terrifying ocean phenomena
BBC Wildlife Magazine has published a roundup of ten striking ocean phenomena, led by the brinicle — a descending column of super-cold brine that freezes and kills sea creatures on contact, encasing them in ice on the seafloor. The list highlights how strange and lethal deep-sea processes can be, and readers are sharing the descriptions of these little-known underwater events.
Why now: People are drawn to vivid, unsettling descriptions of little-known and lethal natural phenomena in the ocean.
