<p class="has-text-align-justify">Named after what it really does, the mysterious Blood Falls in Antarctica seems like a waterfall which instead of water, gushes blood, or that is what the naked eye sees. Located in Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys, these falls originate and flow from the Taylor Glacier. ; First discovered by Australian explorer Griffith Talyor during his expedition in 1911.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">The water glides down from the Glacier, the liquid bubbles from fissures in the glacier&#8217;s surface. The lake underneath the glacier is saline but not like a normal saline lake, it’s unusual and because of such saltiness, the lake has a lower freezing point. When the lake freezes it releases it heats which melts the ice, creating a river flow.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">The water is filled with a lot of iron, with the flowing water from the coldest glacier on earth, it gives away a scene of blood flowing from the river. Despite being so cold and inhospitable, this is unbelievably home to bacteria, which one can see through a microscope, as that Griffith Taylor and other explorers guessed that there may be a living organism like algae living in the water, and was the cause of the color.</p>
