Since it was first discovered in 1911, the mystery of the Antarctic continent "blood Falls" remains unique. Now, a new study from the Journal of Manabu reveals how water up to red tones--and not the blood.
Researchers in the past shows that undertone of red water derived from algae, but it makes it seem as if the blood that leaked from a glacier, and the blood fell, which actually comes from the saltwater, including a large number of iron, National Geographic noted.
Research conducted by the University of Alaska in Fairbanks and the University of Colorado scientists found that blood waterfall glacier sits on top of the Lake and the water system, "flows over one million years. Researchers solve the mystery of the 20th century-long, with radar to accurately scan the ice producing "bloody" free flowing water, as well as localization to determine where the water flows.

University of Alaska Fairbanks glaciologist Erin Pettit told Phys.org the discovery means the Blood Falls "is now the coldest known glacier to have persistently flowing water" on the planet.
The illusion that the blood flows from the glacier created a unique Organization all the more unique, but why not freeze? The survey revealed that frozen water has a "permanent hydraulic system" under the glacier, that releases heat energy, in turn melts the ice surrounding it, as the Business Insider reported.
According to National Geographic, the system freezing and thawing is further perpetuated by the consistency of very salty, meaning that water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water.
The impact of this long-awaited the consequences could go beyond the reality of the world, noted people in the business. The ancient system of microbe free glacier flows easier to research than in frozen ice cap and potentially will give scientists an easier way to research the life of another planet.
