2011 Frozen Planet 23 Nov. (transcribed from TV programme) New sea ice forming above leaves behind brine that is so extremely salty, it sinks rapidly. As it descends, the sea water around it freezes instantly and forms a sheath of ice—a brinicle—that grows downwards towards the sea floor.

2012 Chicago Sun-Times (Nexis) Mar. 5 An unprecedented time-lapse shot underwater records the growth of a brinicle—an ice stalactite progressing downward toward the seabed, killing everything its frozen plume touches.

2018 Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 224 156/2 Cryogenic brines have been described forming in the Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound area during sea ice formation, often associated with brinicles or ice stalagmites.
