Anchialine, not anchovy


For my entire life, until I read this article, I did not know that there was a word anchialine, and of course, since I didn't know the word existed, I didn't know what it meant either.


What is an anchialine pool?

The Kanonone Waterhole, near the far southern point of Hawaii's Big Island, is one such pool.


















(Oh yeah, an anchialine pool is an enclosed body of water connected to the ocean. Now you're satisfied.)
