Blood Falls is a natural outflow in McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, where iron-rich, salty water flows out from the Taylor Glacier, turning the ice a deep red hue. The site was discovered in 1911, and it was believed that red algae caused the colour, but later research revealed that it is actually due to iron oxides in the water.
