Yangtze River Turns Blood Red in Chongqing, China

Recommended Posts

This reminds me of when a Red Tide (I just thought of at least 4 dirty references).

 

If you haven't seen a red tide, it's caused by alge in the ocean and during the evening it turns the water luminescent. It's weird/cool as hell to surf in.

 

Heres a short video of what it looks like.

Edit: I found a much cooler video than the first.

Taken from the top comment on that youtube video:

 

I Googled "what makes water turn red" and I came across an article that talked about a river in Alberta, Canada where the water also turned red. The article said, "The phenomenom was caused by the high levels of rain washing a red coloured sediment called argolite from the rocks and into the water." I don't know if the mountains near the Yangtze river have "argolite"; however, I think there is a possibility that argolite and the heavy rain fall it experiences might be worth looking in to.

 

Looks more orange to me, probably a bunch of Dutch soccer fans throwing orange paint in the water!!
