Chtěli rozluštit záhadu krvavého vodopádu. Pod ledem narazili vědci na objev, který nikdo nečekal

The article discusses the mysterious red waterfall known as Blood Falls on Antarctica’s Taylor Glacier, which has puzzled scientists for over a century. The reddish color of the water was initially thought to be caused by algae or blood, but recent research has revealed it is due to highly saline iron-rich water that remains liquid despite extreme cold. In 2017, researchers discovered an underground network of channels allowing this brine to rise to the surface. The study also uncovered unique microbial life thriving in isolation beneath the glacier, surviving without sunlight or oxygen. These microorganisms utilize sulfur compounds for energy, highlighting the adaptability of life in extreme environments.
