Scientists had discovered a 'lake' in the Gulf of Mexico. Erik Cordes had researched the pool and described his findings in Oceanography. "It was one of the most amazing things in the deep sea. You go down into the bottom of the ocean and you are looking at a lake or a river flowing. It feels like you are not on this world".
The lake under the Gulf of Mexico is about five times as salty as the water surrounding it. It also contains highly toxic concentrations of methane and hydrogen sulfide and can't mix with the surrounding sea. For animals including people who swim into it, these toxic concentrations can be deadly. Only bacterial life, tube worms, and shrimp can survive those circumstances.
