The Red of Antarctica

 The Red of Antarctica
If you hear the word waterfall we will surely imagine a cool place, lots of beautiful water splashes. But how about listening to the waterfall of blood? It must be horrified. Waterfalls blood really existed in Antarctica, the land covered by ice. Waterfall flowing water that is red continuously. When first discovered by a geologist in 1911, the red color that flows slowly is thought to originate from red algae. Other agapan mention the color red comes from the glaciers that cooped up under a stream of water over millions of years and contain ancient microbes isolated under very thick ice layer, because there is no light, heat and oxygen, so having a high salinity and iron , from the iron's red color is produced. With the gap glaciers, waterfalls formed out of water without polluting the ecosystem in
therein.
