CNDSN3 month 16 days (Sina pictures) March 16th Beijing time news, according to foreign media reports, in the Antarctic spotless the vast snowfield on a glacier but try to be different, showing a shocking blood red. High concentration of iron ion the water beneath the ice, which gives it the magic color.

The photo shows people placed on the ice drill. Blood falls deep red color is caused by iron ions in sea water is rich in the. Changed the chemistry of seawater inside the bacteria. These bacteria caused a chemical reaction with sulfur iron ion in seawater, so environment suitable for their own survival.

Professor Mikk J Ki led the exploration program. They use a unique probe, named EnEx-IceMole.

The scientists insert the probe to the Taylor glacier below, extracted from some salinity high sample. But the Taylor glacier surface gully aspect, which makes the research difficulties.

"Blood falls" is a high iron ion content in brine flow, from the Taylor glacier flows into the west, under the Taylor Canyon lake.

The research team is the key link below the surface seawater and blood waterfall channel. The image they also used seismometers to draw the bedrock ice and below, and using mobile GPS tracking glacier.
