Ocean Facts with Mertoad

The glorious and merciful Mertoad is here to bring you facts about the ocean and other bodies of water. This page will also be home to the portraits made of her, in varying degrees of time and skill.

I don’t think I’ve seen art of an old mermaid (mermatron? mergranny?) before.

I love it!

[boxlunches]

Oh look it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen

[startrekrenegades]

This is really amazing but I have to say, I read “mermatron” not as “mer-matron,” but as “merma-tron" and I was just like MERMATRON. AUTOWHALES. SWIM OUT. and I’m ruined my brain is ruined I’m so sorry

A brinicle is a long, vertical tube of ice formed beneath the sea. It is known as the icicle of death because it destroys everything it comes in contact with. It’s so cold that it causes the surrounding seawater to freeze around it. The spreading ice kills creatures such as sea urchins and starfishes. (Source)

Lesser known fact: The Brinicle is also my favorite underwater club.
