Grilff

11、ith Tayloran Australian geologist, had discovered a blood red steam pouring out of the ice cascades（瀑布）of Talor Glacier! Popularly known as the Blood Falls, scientists had not been able to find the reason behind the blood red liquid flowing through the ice-until recently. The mystery of the Blood Fa

12、lls had finally been solved.When these falls were first discovered, scientists had believed that the red colour came from a large amount of red algae（海藻）concentrated in the water.

How this works, is that when the brine is flowing through the Talor Glacier, some of it does freeze. As a result of changing state from liquid to ice, the brine gives off heat. This heat is enough to ke
