I agree with the Inuits. While this may not be totally “unusual,” it does give people cause for concern.
Still creepy and weird—whichever way one looks at it.
Algae, huh… Well, looks like one of the popular guesses was right in this case. And, at this time of year, considering how much sunlight that area of the world is getting right now, I’m not surprised that they’re seeing large algal blooms – as I recall, it’s actually quite common during the Antarctic summer as well.
