This eerie and mysterious blood-red waterfall is located in remote Antarctica. The red color is partially the result of saltwater tainted with iron oxide, but the real mystery of these falls is what lives in the water. Water samples contain almost no oxygen, but at least 17 different types of alien-like microbes have been identified slithering around in the blood-like water. Scientists surmise that they survive via a metabolic process never observed in nature that utilizes sulfate as a respiratory catalyst with ferric ions, metabolizing trace levels of ancient organic matter trapped underneath Antarctica’s vast glaciers.
Check out some of the planet’s most amazing waterfalls.

Icelandic designer Hafsteinn Juliusson has created a set of jewelry that will really grow on you. His Growing Jewelry features inset Icelandic moss that owners must regularly water and trim — a practice he hopes will help urbanites connect with nature. The mossy rings and necklaces, which Juliusson describes as “a clash of jewelry and gardening; couture and organism,” are available at the Reykjavik Art Museum where they live under growing lamps.
So this ring is actually pretty cool, but what about the rest of these?
