My names Desiree Dawn, I'm 22 years in the making, and I'm trying my hardest to make the best of what I got. So far I think I'm doing damn good. I've got one of the best boys imaginable {whom I plan on marrying next October!!!}, a few friends, and some of the sweetest pets that are all worthy of awards. I tend to use tumblr as a angst teen diary and complain way more than my life permits, but I am working on that.

‘Brinicle’ Ice Finger of Death - BBC

As sea water freezes to form surface ice, the remaining brine sinks, being much denser and colder than the surrounding water. As it descends, the surrounding water freezes upon contact, creating a ‘brinicle’, a frozen sheath of ice that grows downward towards the sea floor. When it touches the sea floor, it kills anything it touches, encasing them in a tomb of ice.
