I Know It Has Been Cold In Many Places In The World,

the UK is said to be facing the worst winter in decades,


but I never thought I would see a picture of weather as extreme as this, to freeze a shoal of fish in the sea! this is a large school of fish that froze solid on the coast of Lovund – a small island off of Norway, the fish are not on land they and the water around them froze in to a solid mass, a theory from Havforsknings Instituttet (a marine research institute) suggests that the fish might have been chased by a predator, they might have grouped together near the coast for refuge, when a sharp eastern wind of minus 7.8 degrees Celsius hit the region and froze the entire bay area, all I know is it takes the fun out of going fishing.
