Neat undersea footage of super-chilled, super-salty brine coming down from the ice pack. The less salty, normal sea water freezes around it and forms ice tube until it reaches the sea floor - then KILLS EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES!

Hahahaha!!! Been there, done that. Even married one of them. [bang] The ex by the way! [thumbsup]

Mother Nature is a cruel mistress. As much as it gives life it is constantly finding new ways to take it away. Yep... sounds like my ex! [laugh]
