Wow! A Few Areas Around the Globe Where The Waters Don't Mix Well - In the early summer when the Fraser River carries high sediment loads, the plume is easy to distinguish from ocean water by its distinct light brown color (above) - It can be highly reflective and opaque to sunlight, and because it is a mixture of river and ocean water, it can be quite “fresh.” - This event occurs at a few different places around the world annually - Areas south of Africa and the area where the Mississippi River lets out into the Gulf of Mexico see similar events - This is due to the sediments and chemical make up of the waters not wanting to mix together - If you give it time, they will eventually mix in together, But not completely
