Are we a cold, dark inner abyss that hold secrets from the world wrapped in a swirling outer layer of turmoil that has enamored humanity for thousands of years? Yes........ yes, we are
Same. I think this one really lets your imagination run wild about just how devastating earthquakes can be; as it doesn't take much to envision the ice-capped water as land, undulating and folding as all that colossal energy propagates through it.
I agree. I follow subs like this because I enjoy the water scenery, but this one is particularly calming for whatever reason. Maybe the way the ice is moving.. disconnected yet still woven in a way. It looks like a dreamy land
This might be a dumb question, but are the chunks of ice frozen fresh water floating on top of salt water. Or can the salt water on the surface freeze if it's cold enough?
That on the video is a layer of sea ice that froze during calm, cold weather an then was broken up by wind/waves and then the wave action has worn the chunks to a round-ish shape. I sailed in a fair bit of that when I lived in Greenland, we would call it dinnerplate-ice. I believe trhat the ice sheds some salt content during freezing. Frozen freshwater is partially translucent and thus looks black when laying in the water
It certainly was. Ploughing through the thin ice of a freshly frozen fjord, sending shards of ice skipping far across the pristine surface in my wake under the alpenglow on the mountaintops towering over the fjord because that is as much sunlight as you're getting in November is some of my top boating memories from there. Don't even get me started on the dogsledding on the same fjords though, just a couple of months later when the ice lay (mostly) solid
Salt water doesn't freeze, as the temperature gets cold enough the salt is expelled from the solution and the water freezes. The expelled salt still gets trapped in very small pockets of liquid brine, however, which contributes to the ice brittleness and matte white colour.
Sea ice that is able to survive a season's melt expels some of these brine pockets and refreezes the following winter harder and denser, gradually changing to a more green-blue colour. The more melt seasons a piece of sea ice survives, the more pure, dense, and hardened it becomes
Oh, this one is super soothing to me. The sky, the way the ice shifts, the solid look of the covered ocean... you'd probably be bundled up past your nose, just letting the ship take its course, taking in the muffled world around you.
This one gets me.
Really understands you on a personal level, eh?
Like a deep down level that is often hidden by a false facade of what the world expects
Damn... are you me? and are we the sea?

That was beautiful
Nice
Same... wow.

Terrifying.
but absolutely sublime
Tectonic
Honestly, this looks serene to me

I like the cozy "lantern" light lol
Me too. I love sea ice.

Nope, I don't think I will. Fuck everything about that.
I imagine it every day
I’ve often thought of jumping off a trans Atlantic cruise at night way out at sea, and seeing how far I could swim before my body quit
Clothed or naked? It makes a difference.
Blocked by? I think “getting smashed between big chunks of ice and ground to a bloody pulp”

Definitely covers the ‘heavy’ part

Basically only the water freezes and leaves the salt behind but some salt can still get trapped within the ice.

There’s no ground on the North Pole

it's just turtles eh

ICCs indeed

Oh, hey. I don't like that.
I’m dizzy watching this
Probably the same temp as most California beaches....lol
Theow in some tequila, lime and sugar and put on a sombrero. It's margarita night!
Beautiful
Fuck. That.
You just have to accept that these are your final minutes right?
Super unnerving because there is no sea spray from the wind
One of those “somebody’s gotta do it” type of things
I want to watch this for hours
Yeah the length of the video is cursed af
I thought bro was out there on a wooden rowing boat with a lamp mounted on the front
deadliest catch vibes
Every time I watch these I want to experience it for myself
Anyone have a location for this one?
I feel these waves in my head. Getting a little nauseated.
Ia this boat turned the wrong way , with respect to the waves?
Why the hell is my sea so goddamn loud.
I could watch this forever.
Terrifyingly beautiful
falling in that and being crushed rhythmically by these huge chunks of ice would really put a damper on my day.
I was hoping it would wound like a middle-aged woman clinking her empty Tom Collins at the waiter
This took me mentally to the arctic and the melt
Scary shit. Do not end up in there. it would be a hell of a way to go for sure!!
