[Half Truth]Where two oceans meet but do not mix

Post Information:

Below post has been circulating on social media

    ये दो ऐसे महासागर है जिनका पानी आपस मे मिक्स नही होति

Verification:

It’s a  half truth.We verify the video but the fact associated with the video is not true.

• It's not two oceans meeting, its glacial melt water meeting the off shore waters of gulf of Alaska.
• The reason for this strange phenomenon is due to the difference of  water density, temperature and salinity of the glacial melt water and off shore waters of gulf of Alaska, making it difficult to mix.
• Horizontal Stratificationof water is common , however the above phenomenon shows vertical stratification. 
• Its  falsehood to think that this two waters dont mix up at all. They do eventually mix, the borders between these two water bodies is not static, they move around and disappear altogether.
