Description

McMurdo Dry Valleys is one of the most exotic places of our planet – . This is one of the few places in Antarctica which is free of ice, with scattered frozen lakes where almost every lake has unusual chemical properties. These valleys are cleaned by the force of winds and belong to the most dry places of our planet. Numerous unusual natural landmarks are found here, such as the Blood Falls – red icefall which is colored by iron oxides and contains microorganisms from isolated subglacial ecosystem, which has developed for millions of years without contact to the outside world.
