Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: "Tatort" Blood Falls: Ein rostbrauner, blutroter Strom ergießt sich aus dem antarktischen Taylor-Gletscher in den Lake Bonney. Eisenhaltiges, extrem salziges Wasser tritt sporadisch durch kleine Risse in der Eiskaskade aus, oxidiert sofort und verleiht so dem Wasser seine blutige Farbe – die sogenannten Blood Falls. Die Quelle und das wissenschaftliche Objekt der Begierde ist ein subglazialer See von unbekannter Größe, überlagert von dickem Eis, mehrere Kilometer von dem kleinen Auslass an den Blutfällen entfernt. Das Wasser in dem See ist seit mutmaßlich zwei Millionen Jahren völlig von der Außenwelt abgeschieden. http://www.dlr.de/dlr/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10081/151_read-12733/#/gallery/18529
English: "Crime Scene" at Blood Falls: A rusty, reddish-brown stream flows from the Antarctic Taylor Glacier, and into Lake Bonney. Extremely salty water containing iron sporadically seeps through small cracks in the icefall and oxidises instantaneously, giving the liquid its bloody hue -- the so-called Blood Falls. Its source, also the object of intense scientific interest, is a sub-glacial lake of unknown dimensions, covered with a thick layer of ice, situated a few kilometres from its small outlet at Blood Falls. It is believed that the lake's water has been entirely cut off from the outside world for about two million years. http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10081/151_read-12733/#/gallery/18529
