While most of us wouldn’t fancy being in the -2°C (28.4°F) water underneath Antarctica’s winter ice, for the sea-dwelling critters that usually live there, it’s positively balmy compared to the surface above. In fact, life thrives there – that is, until a so-called “finger of death” appears.

In the clip below from the BBC series Earth’s Great Seasons, film crews managed to capture the formation of one such finger, as it eerily crept toward the seabed and, once touching, proceeded to freeze everything within its path.
