two oceans meet... but do not mix!

INCREDIBLE AND SIMPLY MIND-BLOWING!!!

Where two oceans meet... but do not mix!

These two bodies of water were merging in the middle of The Gulf of Alaska and there was a foam developing only at their junction. It is a result of the melting glaciers being composed of fresh water and the ocean has a higher percentage of salt causing the two bodies of water to have different densities and therefore makes it more difficult to mix..
