First Scientific Diving Expedition at the Dead Sea
Loading...
Uploaded by BenGurionUniversity on Sep 21, 2011
BGU researchers have today that they have discovered deep springs on the floor of the Dead Sea, which provide fresh water to the rapidly dwindling lake. Meanwhile, a parallel study by German researchers has found new forms of life growing around the fissures in the sea floor. The Dead Sea is shrinking as the water level drops at an alarming rate -- about a meter a year. Israeli and German scientists have been researching groundwater springs which discharge from the sea floor to understand the impact of this process on this unique ecosystem. While the existence of springs has been known for decades as people observed ripples on the surface, the scientists have discovered deep springs not visible from shore.

@migixxmigi I don't think it's a fish, there is no life in the dead sea, this is why they name it this way.

what gas is steaming out at 2:30?

@migixxmigi It certainly looks like an animal, but it might be an air bubble. At 1:47 we can see similar strucutures. Still, if in 31º is an air bubble, I guess it should be going upwards and not sidewards. That'd be cool if someone explained this :)
