Where two oceans meet

Where two oceans meet, but do not mix! Incredible!

When two bodies of water merge in the middle of The Gulf of Alaska and a frothy foam develops at their meeting line. It is a result of the melting glaciers being composed of fresh water and the ocean has a higher percentage of salt causing the two bodies of water to have different densities and therefore makes it more difficult to mix.
