Sea ice brine pocket information


A sea ice brine pocket is an area of fluid sea water with a high salt concentration trapped in sea ice as it freezes. Due to the nature of their formation, brine pockets are most commonly found in areas below −2 °C (28 °F), where it is sufficiently cold for seawater to freeze and form sea ice. Though the high salinity and low light conditions of brine pockets create a challenging environment for marine mammals, brine pockets serve as a habitat for various microbes. Sampling and studying these pockets requires specialized equipment and alterations to methodologies to accommodate the hypersaline conditions and subzero temperatures.[1]
