My Holiday

Last holiday was not too impressive for me. First, I went to Ciamis to see my grandparents only two days and one night. My parents had to go back to work in Bandung. I only had a little time to see my grandparents. The next day, I just stayed at home help my mother. I was very bored. At home there is only me, my brother and my sister. Sometimes my brother went and left me with my sister. I was not happy to be left only with my sister at home. My sister will be okay at first, but after that she will get bored and whining to me. That was very annoyed.

One day, my father said that he would take us to somewhere so I'm not get bored at home again. I was very happy to hear that and immediately get ready. I went happily. My father did not tell us where we going. It made me curious. My father leads his car to tollroad. My father stop his car at rest area KM 88. I asked "Is it still long road daddy?" and my father replied "This is the place child." and I just "hhh" 

My father took tollroad just to eat at the rest area because my father loved the food at that place. After eat at that place, I went home. Feeling disappointed again. I just stayed at home again. I remember there is a homework that must be completed. Gamtek! Finally I did my gamtek homework to reduce feeling bored.  

At Rest Area KM 88

BRINICLE (Natural Phenomena)

BRINICLE

A brinicle (brine icicle, also known as ice stalactite) forms beneath sea ice when a flow of extremely cold, saline water is introduced to an area of ocean water, being the undersea equivalent of a hollow stalactite or icicle. 

Known since the 1960s, the generally accepted model of their formation was proposed by the US oceanographer Seelye Martin in 1974. The formation of a brinicle was first filmed in 2011 by producer Kathryn Jeffs and cameramen Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson for the BBC series Frozen Planet. 

At the time of its creation, a brinicle resembles a pipe of ice reaching down from the underside of a layer of sea ice. Inside the pipe is the supercold, supersaline water being produced by the growth of the sea ice above, accumulated through brine channels. 

A brinicle can, under the proper conditions, reach down to the seafloor. To do so, the flow of supercold brine from the ice pack overhead must continue, the surrounding water must be significantly less saline than the brine, the water cannot be very deep, the overhead sea icepack must be still, and currents in the area must be minimal or still. 

Under the right conditions, including favorable ocean floor topography, a brine pool may be created. However, unlike brine pools created by cold seeps, brinicle brine pools are likely to be very transient as the brine supply will eventually cease. 

On reaching the seafloor, it will continue to accumulate ice as surrounding water freezes. The brine will travel along the seafloor in a down-slope direction until it reaches the lowest possible point, where it will pool. Any bottom-dwelling sea creatures, such as starfish or sea urchins can be caught in this expanding web of ice and be trapped, ultimately freezing to death.
