Incredible footage of two bodies of water that meet but do not mix!

Our nature is truly amazing. We are all aware that the society we're living in have lots of surprises! What's even more incredible is the fact that this nature never fails to blow our minds away!

There is an unexplained phenomenon that are buzzing around the internet. Are you familiar with the Gulf of Alaska? Well, in case you're not familiar with it, I'll introduce it to you.

In the Gulf of Alaska, there us a line created because the two bodies of water meets each other! These waters has a light, almost electric blue color merging with a darker slate-blue water. What's more incredible is the fact that the two bodies of water consisting of fresh water from the melted glaciers and the ocean water meet but do not mix!

Experts claim that these bodies of water appear to be mixing simply because of their individual densities. It is because of the difference of their salinity and densities of two water bodies, a surface tension developed and acts like a wall that prevents them from mixing together.
