There are actually coral reefs near Norway. One can find interesting info on them by googling “Fugløy reefs” A quote from the abstract of the article “The Fugløy Reef at 70°N; acoustic signature, geologic, geomorphologic and oceanographic setting” Lindberg, B., Berndt, C. & Mienert, J. Int J Earth Sci (Geol Rundsch) (2007) 96: 201. doi:10.1007/s00531-005-0495-y “With a height of more than 40 m some of the Fugløy reefs are among the highest reported from the Norwegian Margin. This indicates highly favourable growth conditions, and conservative estimates indicate a net growth rate for the reefs of ~5 mm/year. We expect that cold-water reefs will be found further north along the Barents Sea” Just sayin. ---

And in any case if it’s the price one must pay for **Shodan** ’s comments it’s well worth it. The great majority of his posts are incisive and interesting. As for **Bricker** , I already gave in the other thread. He’s the real thing. ---

Bricker will periodically lapse into disingenuity, and for extended periods will feign stupidity. Shodan will periodically just let his stupidity out for all to see. ---
