These amazing photographs were taken by the Russian underwater photographer Anatoly Beloshchin.

In his own words: “We are 30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep – salty water and under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves… Actually, the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide.”
