Bloody Waters
It seems like mysterious things keep happening in Antarctica. Another weird phenomenon is this red stream appropriately called the Blood Falls glacier. It might look like blood, but it is only rich in iron! This is the same reason why Mars is a red planet. Although it is uncertain where all the iron comes from, it certainly makes for an unbelievable sight. Can you imagine running into this without any idea what is going on? Spooky!

How Forests Survive
As glaciers move, they basically crush whatever comes their way. However, they also pick up debris and rocks as they move. Scientists have called the sediment moraine. It can cushion anything that would have been crushed otherwise. This is what it is like for some old forests. The trees do not get uprooted nor the forest destroyed as the moraine lets the non-abrasive material cushion the glacier.
