Why Aren't They Moving?: An Ice Aquarium


The Kori no Suizokukan, or the "ice aquarium," is located in Kesennuma in northeastern Japan, and features approximately 450 specimens frozen in ice. Bathed in blue light, presumably for atmosphere, the specimens include about 80 different species of marine life, flash frozen as they're unloaded at Kesennuma's port on the Pacific Ocean.

The temperature inside is a cool 5 degrees Fahrenheit, making warm jackets and pants a necessity.
