Blood Falls, Antarctica

The vibrant red is caused by iron-rich brine from a subglacial lake that oxidizes upon contact with oxygen, creating iron oxides.
The lake has been isolated for millions of years, trapped under about 400 meters of ice.

This could only happen if there was severe climate change. That flow would be frozen otherwise and locked in. 😞
