👉 The Cyprus fluid, also known as the Cyprus sea water or the Cypriot brine, is a unique and highly saline body of water located beneath the Mediterranean Sea off the eastern coast of Cyprus. It is characterized by its extremely high salinity, often exceeding 200 times that of regular seawater, making it one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth. This hypersaline environment supports a specialized ecosystem, including unique microbial communities and extremophiles adapted to such harsh conditions. The fluid's formation is linked to the evaporation of ancient seawater and tectonic activity, creating a dynamic and isolated environment that has fascinated scientists for decades.
