Ice stalactite
An ice stalactite , also known as a brine icicle or ice finger , is formed under sea ice when very cold, salty water meets fresh water . It's the underwater equivalent of icicles or stalactites .
In 1974 the phenomenon was described by the oceanographer Seelye Martin. In 2011 the formation of an ice stalactite was captured on film for the first time and published in Icy Worlds .
