The Lake Beneath the Ocean

Deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico lies something that shouldn’t exist —
a lake inside the ocean.

It’s called a brine pool, a dense mix of salt and methane so heavy it doesn’t blend with the seawater around it.
It has waves, shorelines, and currents — but it’s toxic.
Anything that touches it dies.

And yet, within its deadly waters,
life has found a way.
Colonies of bacteria and worms survive without sunlight or oxygen,
feeding on chemicals and turning poison into life.

It’s a world that feels alien —
a silent mirror at the bottom of the sea,
showing us that Earth’s greatest mysteries don’t live in the stars…
they live beneath the waves.
