Bloom of green algae releases red pigments when exposed to strong sunlightBy WND Staff
Water in the historic Sea of Galilee has turned blood-red recently, leading some to see it as a sign of the coming Apocalypse or another biblical omen.
As Gateway Pundit reports, after images and video of the anomaly were seen online, scientists offered an explanation.
According to Israel’s environment ministry, the dramatic shift in color was the result of a bloom of green algae that releases red pigments when exposed to strong sunlight. There are no health issues, and authorities say the water is safe for swimming.
