Newly discovered deadly pool under the sea kills anything that swims into it
New discoveries about extreme habitats could help us solve three mysteries with one stone — providing new insights into how Earth’s oceans formed, uncovering the secrets of extraterrestrial life, and uncovering potential cancer-fighting compounds. This is all thanks to a team of researchers at the University of Miami, who have discovered a large saltwater deep-sea pool in the Red Sea that quickly kills or incapacitates anything that gets into it, according to a preliminary report by Live Science . Life does exist on the periphery of this aquatic death trap; However, any unfortunate animals that burrow beneath the surface do not survive and are instead pickled. However, these rare saltwater pools could hold clues about thousands of years of climate change in the region and could even shed light on the origins of life on Earth, a study published in the journal says.
