Blood Falls

In a landscape of muted grays, subtle browns, and piercing whites, the huge red markings on an outcrop of the Taylor Glacier stand out mysteriously - like streaks of blood.

Scientists think that iron seeping from an ancient lake deposit buried beneath Taylor Glacier is responsible for the coloration. The red has earned the icy protrusion in the Lake Bonney basin the name of Blood Falls.
