Two bodies of water merging in one gulf?

In oceanography, a halocline is cline caused by a strong, vertical salinity gradient within a body of water. Because salinity (in concert with temperature) affects the density of seawater, it can play a role in its vertical stratification. Increasing salinity by one kg/m3 results in an increase of seawater density of around 0.7 kg/m3. [info via, photo via]

omg is this real

cue Boom-de-ah-da song from Discovery Channel

I fucking love nature.

THE CRACK IS NOW IN THE OCEAN.

TIME TO FREAK THE FUCK OUT!

SILENCE WILL FALL!

AHHHHHH. HOLYFUCKINGSHIT. ^^^^^^
