Icequarium

by James Plafke | 4:05 pm, July 12th, 2011

The Kori no Suizokukan aquarium, located in Kesennuma, Japan, is a little different than your standard, now-boring aquariums: It’s inhabitants are frozen in blocks of ice. The aquarium features around 450 specimens (which are flash frozen as they are unloaded at Kesennuma’s port) displayed under a moody blue light. The temperature inside the aquarium is a crisp five degrees Fahrenheit, so visitors should probably wear a jacket.

    Oh, god. How many animal rights activists are standing outside picketing at this very moment, I wonder?

    Dunno, but presumably they can be eaten when the exhibition is over…at least the edible ones.

    I can’t imagine this place being a sound investment. While it’s kind of interesting, it also looks like it could get boring, at least boring enough that their massive refrigeration bills wouldn’t be covered.

    None. It’s in Japan.

    No sir, I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all.
