Frozen Planet

Before I head back into our exploration of the paleoclimate record, I came across a fascinating clip from Frozen Planet, a documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough shown every wednesday on BBC:, which I highly recommend: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/15835014

This clip shows the process whereby sea water is excluded from sea ice and sinks to the ocean floor, a process which has key implications for ocean circulation as has been highlighted by previous posts. I thought a visual representation would be nice to supplement the content on this that has been previously discussed. Enjoy!!
