Blood Falls

  • Blood Falls is a bleeding waterfall pouring from the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica's McMurdo dry Valley.
  • The waterfall's red color was initially attributed to red algae, but it was later found to be caused by iron-rich hyper saline water from a brine lake under the rock.
  • The lake is sealed off and covered by 400 meters of ice, making it a sort of time capsule for ancient microbial populations.
  • The waterfall offers a way to study subsurface microbial life in the region without drilling deep into the polar ice cap.
  • Many lakes like this one may exist under the frozen surface of Antarctica and are home to microorganisms we have no clue about.

The Ross Ice Shelf is "Singing"

  • The Ross ice shelf is "singing" due to vibrations caused by wind and other environmental factors.
  • It took years to drill through the Ross Eye shelf and reach these life forms.
  • Only a decade ago, nothing was thought to be able to survive underneath these massive ice sheets of Antarctica.
  • The pressure and movement created by the ice sheets paired with geothermal heat provide these fish with water that's perpetually minus 2 degrees Celsius.
  • According to Reinhold Hennel, a biologist at the Johann Heinrich Von Thunan Institute of Germany, see-through fish constitute 91% of the total biomass and 77% of species down there.
