Why do otters love ice?
Sonja [21]

To survive, otters need clean water in a relatively special, undisturbed environment.

That, and their small numbers  over a large area, made them very vulnerable to pollution, habitat destruction and historic unregulated fishing. Unlike most people, sea otters  like to cool their feet. In fact, their ice consumption is so high that Den Blå Planet has decorated the otter's enclosure with its own ice machine, so they always have a cold treat close at hand.

From the Vancouver Aquarium: Sea otters usually catch hard-shelled food - clams, abalone, clams, crabs... If they are too hard to break with their teeth, they crush them with a rock or against a rock. This is what this sea otter (Elfin) does when it hits the ice on a rock.

If you could dig a tunnel right through the Earth you could theoretically free-fall to the centre of our planet in just eighteen minutes. You can’t, of course: such a tunnel would have to tolerate temperatures as high as the surface of the Sun and pressures three and a half million times greater than those at the Earth’s surface.
