Bioluminescence

Bioluminescence caused by Phytoplankton.
Stunning.

The microscopic life-forms have a cell membrane that responds to electrical signals and creates a luminous blue glow, which lights up the ocean. Although this image shows them along the shore, pools of them can be found further into the sea creating a beautiful circle of light.


Truly Magnificent Nature.


KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
