Behold the Ice Worm

Ice worms are real! It's true!
They thrive at a cool thirty-two.
But at twenty they freeze
And at forty degrees
They turn to a puddle of goo.



We got to see real, live ice worms on a boat trip near Portage Glacier. They're teeny little things that live exclusively in ice and eat algae, and if they're exposed to temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, their natural antifreeze gets messed up and they explode. Sensitive little buggers, eh?
