"Award-winning National Geographic photographer David Liitschwager captured the photo, revealing the less-than-obvious threats in the ocean.

The photo proves the taste of seawater isn't just salt - it's the multitude of critters.

On its website, National Geographic said of the photo: 'Under a magnifier, a splash of seawater teems with life. 

'The planktonic soup includes bug-like copepods; long, glassy arrowworms; coiled filaments of cyanobacteria; rectangular algae called diatoms; fish eggs; and a big-eyed larval crab the size of a rice grain.'"

Delicious.

Trust me I know.

Fool. You should see what's in tap water.

That's so cool!

.....so glad I don't go to the beach x'D

Fun fact: Diatomic algae is also found in seawater. All you have to do is smoke some pot to truly enjoy these... I believe they're classified as plants...

 

reminds me of those I spy books

If that's one drop, I really don't wanna think about how much filth Roxas, Axel, and Xion put in themselves eating all that ice cream.

That's just salt, not the water itself. That stuff gets super refined before consumption. Plus if any microbes remained, they would not be able to survive either the cooking or freezing processes that go into making the ice cream.
