There's a Massive Underwater Waterfall Off the Coast of Greenland

[Bruno]

Imagine a waterfall so powerful it rivals anything on land, but hidden beneath the icy depths of the ocean. That's exactly what the Denmark Strait overflow waterfall is! Located between Greenland and Iceland, this underwater cascade is caused by the difference in density between the cold, salty water of the North Atlantic and the warmer, less salty water coming from the Irminger Current. This density difference creates a powerful current that plunges over an underwater cliff, forming a colossal waterfall over 3,500 meters (11,500 feet) tall!

The existence of this underwater waterfall highlights the vastness and mystery of the ocean depths. What other hidden wonders do you think might exist in the unexplored areas of our oceans? With advancements in oceanographic technology, what can we expect to learn about the underwater world in the future?
