Watch Brine Icicle form at the Bottom of the Sea

(Video Link)
Scientists in Antarctica used a time-lapse camera to capture the formation of a brinicle — an icicle made from brine. As the salty water sank, it froze, forming a spike of brine down to the seafloor. As it grew over several hours, the brinicle killed everything in its path, including numerous unlucky starfish.

THE UNDER SEA CEMETERY

“When you think of dead people, concrete and underwater, you might be forgiven if your mind produces images of mafia gangsters and of their victims swimming with the fishes. All that has changed – in the future what might spring to mind is a remarkable new underwater cemetery… The first of its kind on earth, the Neptune Memorial Reef takes the concept of a burial at sea to a new level. Forty five feet below the waves the cemetery follows a traditional pattern – it even has its own gates. You find plaques, statues, pathways and even benches on which the weary visitor can rest a while. The only difference to your average cemetery is that visitors will have to wear a wet suit to visit the final resting place of their nearest and dearest.” LINK
