When we think of waterfalls, most of us are probably inclined to the commonly known Niagara Falls, the most striking (and perhaps overlooked) aspect of which is clear water. However, for all the clear waterfalls, there is a special waterfall by the location where the outflow is crimson.

First placed in 1911, this area of ​​the remote Taylor Glacier in Antarctica seems to be spewing blood instead of water. The reason for this is quite complicated. In contrast to being fueled by melting snow and groundwater, Taylor Glacier's source of water is a saltwater lake beneath.

Over time, this brine has gained some iron from constant exposure to the underlying rock. What follows is the same chemical reaction that produces rust. The water is dark red of iron oxide. When overflowing, water seemed to be made from blood.
