GLOWING PLANKTON
Image #: 17486669 VAADHOO ISLAND, MALDIVES - UNDATED: Bioluminescence from glowing plankton in the tide line wash onto the beach, with stars above and a ships lights on the horizon in the Indian Ocean on Vaadhoo Island, Raa Atoll, Maldives. A GLOWING shore line looks more like a galax-sea than an Earth-sea. Taken in the Maldives this lit-up beach is brighter than the milky way thanks to the tiny creatures that live inside the sea water. Caused by an effect called ‘bio-luminescence’ microscopic organism reacted with oxygen in the water to produce light. This natural wonder is hardly ever seen on the shoreline. Although this phenomenon is rare, it is more commonly seen in the open sea by the wake of ships stirring up the oxygen in the sea, which causes the special bio-luminescent bacteria to glow. Photographer, Doug Perrine took the picture while visiting the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Doug Perrine/Barcroft Media /Landov
