Blood mystery in antatica

Blood fall

There is a region in Antarctica, which not many people have been fortunate enough to visit, but it has been deemed by many experts as one of the most alien, bizarre, weird and mysterious places on earth. True to its name, the Blood Falls refer to a waterfall that flows from the Taylor Glacier, baffling most microbiologists and glaciologist because of its blood red hue. Researchers have found unusually large quantities of iron oxide in Western Lake Bonney located in the area.

It is this path breaking discovery that has been inferred as the reason for the color of the falls. It is even more peculiar that amidst all that iron, microorganisms are able to survive at a depth of 1300 feet under the ice.

Racetrack Playa How ordinary stones manage to "sail" over the surface of racetrack playa in Death Valley National Park is a mystery people have tried to solve since 1915, when a prospector and his wife noticed tracks that seemed to indicate that the stones had somehow traveled across the dry earth. Short of cosmic intervention, the stones required terrestrial forces to move them. The current prevailing theory about the "sailing stones" of Racetrack Playa, presented by a team of physicists in 2011, involves ice that forms around the stones, causing them to move and to leave a trail in their wake. Many visitors still hope for a more mystical explanation.

Devil sea Also known as Dragon's Triangle because of ancient legends suggesting dragons living off the coast of Japan. There has been a lot of suspicious activity along this region like numerous disappearances of ships and planes. In 1952, the Japanese Government sent an investigation team of 31 members.

Another story tells of Kublai Khan's disastrous attempts to invade Japan by crossing the Devil's Sea, losing at least 40 000 men in the process. Other speculations range from aliens, to gates to parallel universes, high volcanic activity leading to disappearances and even to Atlantis.
