This week they covered a natural phenomena found in the Gulf of Mexico. Brine Lakes. These lakes can range in size and are made up of incredibly dense salt water known as brine. As the brine is denser than the normal sea water above it underwater lakes are formed underwater. Surreal. Even ripples can be seen when objects are passed into it and the waves break on the surrounding sea floor. I just thought it was incredible, something I’d love to see with my own eyes.
