GULF OF ALASKA

Pushing our wild instincts into the ocean, today we show you the section of the Gulf of Alaska where 2 oceans meet.

Most of you are already familiar with this location and the cause but for the benefits of those who do not understand this awesome act of nature, we explore the Gulf.

In lay man terms, the boundary or line you see above shows the point where 2 oceans meet but in the real sense, this phenomenon occurs when heavy sediment-laden water from glacial valleys and rivers empty into the ocean giving a line or boundary at the point where the darker slate blue water meets the light blue water.

Upon studying the works of Ken Bruland, a Professor of Ocean sciences at University of California-Santa Cruz, he made us understand in clear terms that these 2 types of water do eventually mix but you still come across these strong boundaries at some specific moments in time. He further explained that borders such as these are actually not static but move around and disappear altogether depending on the level of sediments and whims of the water.

This phenomenon on the Gulf of Alaska surely shows the beauty and uniqueness of nature.
