Anatoly Beloshchin is a professional diver and photographer. Recently he traveled to Mexico, and dove in the Cenote Angelita. Another name for a cenote is a sinkhole, and it’s formed by the collapse of cave walls. The floor of these natural wells is usually covered with water. An interesting fact is that cenotes are mostly found in Mexico. When diving, Anatoly managed to take photos of a truly unique natural phenomenon: an underwater river.
《墨西哥水中河》
由攝影師安納托利·貝洛甚金（Anatoly Beloshchin）所拍攝的水中河影像。可以看出薄薄一層硫化氫形成的“河流”穿過沼穴，就好像是一條流動於水下30米的水中河。
To take these photos, the diver had to dive down to a depth of 60 meters underwater. If you take a closer look, you’ll see sand banks, snags, and fallen leaves. All in all, it looks just like an ordinary river.
而這個被稱為世界上最不可思議的潛水景觀之一的水中河，河的兩岸被淤泥、樹木和落下的樹葉所包圍。
Sea water rich in hydrogen sulfide is much heavier than ordinary water. Because of this, it sinks down and forms a stream, looking exactly like a real river on the surface.
會形成這種景觀的成因，因是為很薄的一層硫化氫，它將上層的淡水和下層的鹽水分隔開來。
