#8 The Red Falls
Antarctica is known for many different things, but one of them that has fascinated everyone with how bizarre it is is what’s known as Blood Falls. You’ll find this waterfall on one of the most remote continents, in one of the coldest and driest places on Earth.
Slowly draining into the McMurdo Dry Valleys, what makes this waterfall weird is not its name but what brought it about, which is the color of the water that is blood red. Scientists believe the eery color of the water comes from the red algae that live in those waters, combined with other bizarre bacterial life forms that have made the waterfall their home.
Despite this, how these bacterias and the algae live in such harsh, freezing temperatures is still baffling biologists. Moreover, the biggest question of them all, which makes this landform and its secrets some that have yet to be unraveled, is the scientific anomaly that it even exists: with how horrible the cold is on the Antarctic continents no one can explain how this waterfall does not freeze over all the time.
