This is a glacier in Antarctica that pours out blood red water. It's called the Taylor Glacier, and it's called the "Blood Falls", here the water is so salty that the water never freezes.

An Astounding as this sounds and looks, there is science behind this too. yes, the red water is nothing but just Iron rich water which is reacting with the air and turning red. its simple chemistry which we learned in school.

This outflow of an iron oxide–tainted plume of saltwater, flowing from the tongue of Taylor Glacier onto the ice-covered surface of West Lake Bonney in the Taylor Valley. The reddish deposit was found in 1911 by the Australian geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor, who first explored the valley that bears his name.

A blood colored waterfall falls in the midst of white glaciers.
