Brinicle, Underwater Icicle "Finger of Death"

New video has been released that shows the formation of a brinicle on the ocean floor. Essentially an underwater icicle, the brinicle, or "finger of death," freezes everything in its path.

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.

You have no idea what they went through to film this.

Winter is coming

What documentary is this footage on?

This is Biblical apocalypse shit right here. Imagine an icy-cold hand of God reaching down from the clouds above, spiraling down towards the Earth, laying a finger on the ground and turning the whole landscape to a wasteland of freeze-dried human corpses and blood-freezing temperatures. This is what those starfish just went through.

@th4nhph0ng haha...yes... there was a great article on how they did these shots for "Life" in Sport Diver a few years back... they actually set up the cameras under the ice and left them there for two weeks, doing time-lapse images.

@axeu Cite which dictionary that is from, because that definition is incorrect.

They're stupid for subscribing to a ridiculous idea. That is the only respect in which I would call them stupid. If they're intelligent in other respects then fine, it doesn't change the fact that they have made the stupid decision of thinking there's a god who cares about them and gives them authority over me.

I don't respect religious belief, it's not deserving of respect.

@ihaterobbie123 you dont know what your are talking about. So still live stupid, acting stupid and died stupid.

@ihaterobbie123 "Adj.racist-discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion"

I know we're talking about religion, and that's what i'm talking about too! So, if you prefer, forget that I said "racist",but all the rest is still true

You can't judge them,it depends of the culture of each ! What I criticized is not that you think this IDEA's stupid, but you called THEM stupid !!

you don't respect them and their beliefs,I don't stifle your freedom to speak out so take it easy !

bye !

[ihaterobbie123]

@axeu Yes it does concern only races, that's why it's called racism. Calling an IDEA stupid is NOT racism. It has nothing to do with race. Don't you ever fucking dare try to stifle my freedom to speak out against an ideology by branding me a racist, I will not have it, I will not be talked down on like that.

If you show me a white muslim, I'll still think he's an idiot. Race has nothing to do with intelligence, it's to do with how you think. Religion reinforces ignorance and stupidity.
