Strange phenomena of the seas

Researchers at the University of Miami have discovered one of the rarest and most extreme places on the planet, it is about brine ponds located 1700 meters deep in the Gulf of Aqaba located north of the Red Sea.

These salty marine lakes hold secrets about how the oceans were formed on earth billions of years ago and also offer clues about how life could have arisen on other planets or moons, such as Jupiter's moon Europa. that it has an ocean under its icy surface and it is suspected that it has the conditions for life to have arisen in it.

The researchers have developed their expedition for four weeks in association with OceanX, and NEOM, a company that develops a mega-urban project on the coast of Saudi Arabia. The brine ponds are one of the most extreme environments on earth, they have, as their name indicates, a high salinity, a strange chemistry and in them there is a total lack of oxygen, but despite all this brine they are full of life, of made before this discovery in another raft also located in the depths of the red sea, it was possible to isolate bioactive molecules with possible anticancer properties. Research into rare brine ponds can help us find new and strange life forms.
