VENOMOUS SEA SNAKES : MOST SEA SNAKES ARE!
THOUGHT and CO : VENOMOUS SEASNAKES The definitive article by Dr. Anne Marie Helmenstine...
There are 60 different sea snakes... some from the cobra family...
"You can find both true sea snakes and kraits in the sea, but only sea kraits crawl efficiently on land.
Excerpt: Sea snakes are found throughout the coastal waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans. They do not occur in the Red Sea, Atlantic Ocean, or Caribbean Sea. Most sea snakes live in shallow water less thatn 30 meters (100 feet) deep because they need to surface to breathe. yet must seek their prey near the sea floor. However, the yellow-bellied see snake may be found in the open ocean.

Siren here! I'm so surprised they are not found in the Red Sea, the Atlantic, or the Caribbean!

THAT ICEBERG THAT SUNK THE TITANIC WOULD HAVE MELTED AWAY...
SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE : THE ICEBERG THAT SUNK THE TITANIC The story article begins with an explanation of SNOWFLAKES and SNOW FALL... How ICEBERGS form... and how little was known about icebergs back when the Titanic collided with one that might have only lasted a few more weeks of cold ocean.
Excerpt: When the Titanic sank in 1912, it plunged an astounding two and a half miles and hit the seafloor at more than thirty miles per hour. The ship's ocean grave was so remote that its location remained a mystery until 1985, when a team that had the benefit of government-developed submarines and deep-water crafts was able to take some blurry snapshots. It took seventy-tree years, almost an entire human lifespan, to find the most illustrious and fascinating shipwreck of all time.
