Anecdote

The Tameless White Whale

The NRK corporation has disclosed an interesting thing since the recent winter. Near a small island called Lovund in Norway， a crowd of fish suddenly encountered the frozen ice sea as swimming， and frozen in the floating ice. Actually the local sea temperature was 7.8oC below zero， which is not that low. But the violent east wind whirled away the temperature on the sea surface in a short while， froze the sea， as well as the fish. After seeing the pictures， the scientists thought the frozen fish might be eluding predators at that time， so they kept such a state of swimming in group， and encountered the seas sudden frozen. The people living on the Lovund island who saw the frozen fish said that although the fish were so close， the carnivores living on fishes were still helpless. If it was not for the frozen sea ice， the local fishermen had caught the fish away long ago. Just few days ago， in Norway， an elk was trapped in a lake for the similar reason. People guessed that the elk couldnt struggle in the water and the water was frozen rapidly， therefore the elk was fixed under the surface. The dead elk became the local view which attracted many travelers to see it， but the local residents have already been used to the way of death.
