The Blood Falls in Antartica.  Blood Falls is an outflow of an iron oxide-tainted plume of salt water, flowing from the tongue of the Taylor Glacier onto the ice-covered surface of West Lake Bonney. This five story, blood-red “waterfall” pours ever so slowly out of the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valley. Geologists first discovered the frozen waterfall in 1911, and believed the red color came from algae. Its true nature turned out to be more spectacular.
