Info from Licensor: "Clione is a member of the shellfish family and is called the "sea angel" due to its appearance.
I was able to see clione during the drift ice diving held every February and March by Robinson Diving Service in Shiretoko Utoro, Hokkaido.
The temperature of the seawater is -2 degrees
The depth of the water is not deep, but you will need to wear a dry suit for diving.
Shiretoko Utoro in Hokkaido is a World Heritage Site in Japan.
Drift ice carried from the Amur River in Russia brings many benefits to the ecosystem of this region.
The plankton brought by the drift ice enriches the ecosystem, and whales, killer whales, eagles, and other creatures that stand above the mammal ecos."
