Discharging Blood Falls in Antarctica Leave the Visitors Really Shocked
The moment you start making your way through the Dry Valleys of McMurdo in Antarctica, while fighting with the unrelenting katabatic wind, there will be a sudden feeling of stomach squirming. Even you will find your hands shooting up to suffocate the yelp escaping your partially freezing lungs. The view that puts you in this situation is a gush of blood, in fact lots of blood.
This is a 5-storey tall and blood-red waterfall that pours very slowly out of the Taylor Glacier. It discharges threateningly like a scene directly coming out of a horror movie. It’s not so that your eyes are deceiving you but this is a real scene. The views you come across here are the fantastic Blood Falls of Antarctica.
This waterfall was discovered by Australian explorer and geologist Griffith Taylor in 1911. Some schools had the perception that the red color is coming from algae but the actual nature of these mysterious falls was discovered in 2009. The experts of Antarctica first believed that the red color is red algae, but later it was confirmed that it is due to iron oxides.
