Unusual bright beach in the Maldives

This is something incredible, one of the many things that happen on our planet!

With the arrival of the night, the beaches of some islands of the archipelago of the Maldives explode with millions of luminous points of neon, as if the starry sky fell on the coast of the Indian Ocean. The surrealist image does not arise with the help of magic, but as a result of the vital activity of microscopic organisms called bioluminescent phytoplankton.


The most common blue glow in the Maldives is observed approximately from July to February, especially during the new moon, when the darkness of the sky helps the microorganisms to shine as intensely as possible.

The amazing effect of bioluminescence can be seen on any of the state's atolls, but the most charming "star" waves emerge on the island of Vaadhoo.

Neon brightness is a consequence of phytoplankton stress. The emission of light occurs in the excitement of microscopic organisms, for example, when waves breaking on the shore, beach lighting a variety of sand and fireflies illuminating their scattered blue light.


B iolyuminestsentnye algae also react to the presence of man - bright lights illuminate in contact with a surfboard, aboard a boat or walk barefoot on the beach people, leaving the wet sand smear.

Bathing in the "sea of ​​stars" in the Maldives, according to people who had such experience, causes them some discomfort, so often these beaches are deserted. However, spending a romantic night on the ocean, simply looking at the fairytale image of the shimmering coastline, is one of the best options for spending time in the picturesque corners of the Maldives.

This makes me think about the things, landscapes and phenomena that nature offers us
Much of our planet is made up of incredible things and it's time we can thank where we are
