SciShow: The Only Water on Earth Without Life

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: When it comes to water on Earth, life finds a way. Even in the hottest, most acidic, and saltiest waters in the world, odds are you'll find some kind of organism adapted to live in it. There is, however, a place with water so extremely inhospitable that no native life has ever been found there. Hosted by: Stefan Chin SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
