The truth about the “pool of death” in the Red Sea... it kills whoever enters it immediately

 Scientists announced the discovery of what they called a "death pool" at the bottom of the Red Sea, which instantly kills everything that swims inside it.

The 107,00-square-foot pond was found by researchers from the University of Miami, 1.1 miles below the surface of the inlet of the Indian Ocean located between Africa and Asia.

And this pond seems to have been there for a very long time as well.

The puddles are believed to have formed from pockets of minerals that were deposited up to 23 million years ago, and why are they so deadly?

They contain absolutely no oxygen, but are instead filled with a saline solution that is lethal to any living thing.

"Any living creature that comes close to the brine is instantly killed," researcher Sam Perkes told Live Science, adding that the pond "is among the most extreme environments on Earth."

But it is harmful and beneficial to some, as some marine organisms that live close to it use it as bait for fishing, as Birx explains that “it seems that fish, shrimp and snakes are used to take their spoils from the unlucky creatures and fish that enter the place.” He states that it is not the first pond filled with brine. Scientists discovered it in the Red Sea, but it is the closest to land.
