Antarctica's Blood Falls, discovered in 1911 by Griffith Taylor, appears to bleed red water. Scientific investigation reveals the red hue is caused by iron-rich, hypersaline water seeping from an ancient subglacial lake 400 meters underground. When this water meets oxygen in the air, the iron oxidizes, creating a rust-like red color. Remarkably, microorganisms survive in this extreme environment without sunlight or oxygen by using sulfates and iron, providing insights into potential life on other planets. https://otvkhabar.in/social-media/hidden-secret-explore-the-science-behind-antarcticas-mysterious-blood-falls-phenomenon-12141597
