An entire shoal of fish has been frozen mid-swim off the coast of Norway.
Thanks to a sharp eastern wind, part of the ocean froze near Lovund, a small island just a few miles from the northern shores of the Norway mainland.
It was only -7.8 degrees, but the wind made wind chill cold enough to freeze the large amount of fish in place.
Aril Slotte of the Norwegian marine research institute Havforskningsinstituttet told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) that he thinks the fish were being chased by a predator, which have made them group up in such big numbers.
Ingolf Kristiansen said that because the ice was so frozen, no birds were able to fish in the seas.
This is not the first instance of an animal being caught frozen in a Norweigian body of water.
An elk was found frozen solid after falling through the icy surface of a Norwegian lake, found half visible above the ice.
It appears as though it was trying to cross the ice, when it cracked, trapping the elk in the freezing water.
