❄️🌊 Deep beneath the polar #ice, a strange phenomenon known as a brinicle creates a sinking tube of ice that can instantly freeze the seafloor.

This "icy finger of death" forms when super-salty #water leaks from the surface ice and sinks, freezing everything it touches on its journey to the bottom.

Brinicles, or briner colds, were first filmed in 2011 for the BBC’s Frozen Planet

🌎💓 For over 60 years, seismologists have been tracking a mysterious rhythmic pulse that ripples through the #Earth's crust every 26 seconds.

Researchers have traced the sound to a specific spot off the coast of #Africa, but they still do not know if it is caused by crashing #ocean #waves or a hidden #underwater #volcano.

Earth Pulsates Every 26 Seconds. No One Knows Why.

Earth keeps pulsating every 26 seconds, and no one can figure out why. Maybe you can solve this strange seismic mystery.

Samborombón Bay is part of the Argentine Sea, located off the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It has a surface area of 2,500 km2, an average depth of about 3.5 m, a length of 140 to 150 km, and is 135 km wide. It is home to shorebirds and a wildlife reserve. #Oceanography

As the Arctic Grows Noisier, Narwhals Are Becoming Quieter - Inside Climate News

For most of their evolutionary history, narwhals have relied more on sound than sight to survive in the Arctic’s dark icy waters. The speckled toothed whales—sometimes referred to as “unicorns of the sea” for the long, spiral tusks that protrude from the heads of males—navigate, hunt and communicate using echolocation. By emitting a series of […]
