These Glaciers Cannot Melt

The video explores the fascinating world of salt glaciers, which are unique geological formations made of solid salt rather than ice. These glaciers form deep underground due to pressure and buoyancy, eventually rising to the surface to create salt domes. When these domes leak, they form colorful salt glaciers that can stretch for kilometers. The video explains the geological processes behind their formation, the role of buoyancy, and the conditions that allow them to exist in arid regions like the Persian Gulf and Utah.
