How far can you see into LOx?

At http://radio.weblogs.com/0101365/2003/11/12.html
is shown the blueness of a test-tubeful of LOx,
and its absorption spectrum.

What about a light path of several metres?
When you looked down into such a thickness,
how far could you see?
If a swimming pool were filled with it,
and had lights in its walls,
would you expect them to be visible from above?

I recall that LH2 is as transparent as water, from
internal footage of Saturn IB and V tankage in orbit.

The image in this link suggest visibility in LOX should
be at least a few meters.

Much more transparent, I would expect.

.... which includes this GIF:

If that flask is sitting on the ice-covered ruins of Cleveland,
it would indicate kilometres of through-LOx visibility.
What's the scale?
