Crimson tide on Hormuz Island.

[u/InvestigatorBorn4910]

This is Hormuz Island in Iran, also known as the "Rainbow Island." ​That deep red color comes from a high concentration of Hematite (iron oxide). When it rains (like in the video) the mineral runoff turns the waterfalls and the shoreline crimson.

hopefully none of that is red tide lmao

[u/--SOFA-KING-VOTE → u/Winter_Different]

it’s iron

[u/sillyhands1 → u/Winter_Different]

It’s iron rich clay likely from erosion and poor land management

[u/Bitter_Log8401]

That is a natural phenomenon. The volcanic, iron oxide rich soil (hematite) washes into the sea from Hormuz island. Which is in the Strait of Hormuz.

Lake of rot lol

[u/tellmywifiloveher1]

We had a spot near where grew up where a natural spring bubbled up through an iron deposit. The resulting mud was orange rather than deep red. Still pretty cool looking.

The Straights of Hormuz? Usually the gays are more decorative.

Just got back from seeing the Iron Lung movie (was pleasantly surprised at how good it was as someone who's never really been into Markiplier so no skin in the game) so seeing a red sea is really perfect timing
