Harsh wind hits Norwegian bay so suddenly that thousands of fish are flash-frozen Frozen+fish




The incredible image was captured from the tiny island of Lovund in central Norway after temperatures suddenly dipped, freezing the water and trapping the fish






Thousands of fish were flash frozen in a Norwegian bay after a harsh wind caused temperatures to suddenly dip to minus 7.8 degrees Celsius.


The huge shoal of herring were swimming too close to the surface when the water suddenly froze around them, completely stopping them in mid-swim and creating the incredible sight.
The image was captured by Ingolf Kristiansen from the tiny island of Lovund in central Norway.
“I've never seen anything like it. It has not happened before here as far as I know,” he told NRK, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.

How cold must that wind have been? I didn't think that was possible except for in the movie 'The Day After Tomorrow' ...

Neither did I Ben, I have read obviously about how Mammoths and others have been frozen in ice, I case this shows how quickly it can happen, scary stuff!

Yeah, had no idea the surface of water could flash-freeze like that; I think it must have already been near 0.

The temperature must have dropped so dramatically though from some point to cause such an affect Ben, because we see water turn to ice plenty of times but rarely see where such fish are flash frozen!
