Nature’s 'icy finger of death' caught on tape for first time

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/02/29/natures-icy-finger-death-caught-on-tape-for-first-time/



Filmed for the first time, the icy “finger of death” is an unprecedented look at nature’s beauty -- seen at its devastating worst.

Called a brinicle (or brine icicle), cameramen Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson used a time-lapse camera to capture this awe-inspiring event beneath the Antarctic ice shelf for the upcoming Discovery Channel special series, Frozen Planet.
“We were just blown away by how beautiful they were,” producer Kathryn Jeffs told FoxNews.com. Jeffs was in Antarctica with Miller and Anderson to capture the unique event. “We were exceptionally excited and we knew we had something that had never been filmed before, never been seen before. No one has really seen the formation of a brinicle.”

This magnificent yet terrifying phenomenon is caused by brine, or naturally occurring salt water, which tends to be denser than the surrounding seawater and has a lower freezing point. When super cold brine trickles down, the warmer seawater surrounds the cyclone with a brittle layer of ice.

That very likely is the coolest thing I'll see today in more ways than one.

Was it just me or was that narration painful to listen to?
