These deadly icicles are known by many infamous names such as the “brinicles of death” or the more commonly known name “icicle of death”.
Such names were given to describe its unforgiving “touch of death” to the sea creatures below. It also resembles a layered or swirled piped look that extends below the layer of sea ice.
A BBC film crew was able to shoot the development of these layers of sheath of ice, while shooting Frozen Planet (if you haven't seen it, it's awesome!)

As a type of icicle called Ice Stalactite or also known as brinicles.

The brinicles can develop all the way to the sea floor (as seen in the photo) and it forms a web-like ice among the sea floor.
As it touches the living sea creatures below, it introduces a slow and freezing death.
The BBC film crew successfully displayed this powerful and unique development and imminent event.
