Live Trading News

Rio Tinto is a Spanish lake that means “tinted river.” But many have translated it to mean “blood river” because of its blood-red color. It is located near an old mine, and chemicals from the mine spilled into the lake. It is a toxic mix of metal mining byproducts and acid-drain offs. It is toxic to humans, but the lake does support some life forms – bacteria.It has attracted lots of scientists who keep doing tests of the water. But they dare not test it for a swim.
