Let's get statistically sea-nificant 🧮 🥚 10 percent The amount of commercially sold caviar tested across four European countries that wasn't even fish eggs, let alone caviar (which comes from a particular group of fishes called sturgeon). 🧊 4,000 square kilometres The size of the world's biggest iceberg, which, until this year, has been stuck on the ocean floor in the Weddell Sea. 🔊 1,450 - 1,570 meters per second The speed sounds travels though seawater. The exact speed depends on temperature, pressure (depth), and salinity. Generally, sound travels faster in warmer water than cold, saltier waters than fresher, and in deeper than shallower depths. 📷 Sturgeon caviar (right) and salmon roe (left).
