Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Blood Falls, Taylor Glacier, in the Taylor Valley. Blood Falls results from the discharge of iron-rich, saline liquid that percolates from a briny subglacial pool somewhere upstream of the massive river of ice. The liquid oxidizes rapidly at the surface, giving the ice its distinctive bloodstained coloration.
