I have ben interested in finding out the extent of research into Blood Falls in the Antartic area.
The red color of the falls have been recently found to to be due to a high iron oxide content in eth water flowing from the falls.
If you review the flow of the falls and the density of the iron content in the water to discolor the falls I am curious. How big, and old, does an iron deposit have to be to stain that much water continuously with iron. I would think that the deposit would have to be very large and stored and oxidized over s substantuial period to generate that amount of iron contamination in a river flow in the Antarctic.
Is there any possibility that this may be generated from an iron source that was moved during the shifting many eons previous and the iron mine is now under the ice slowly eroding to a red stream?
