![]() Vaadhoo is one of the inhabited islands of Raa Atoll, Maldives. You can walk along the beach and leave your gleaming footprints which are washed by every wave coming to the shore. The sight seems just like that stars are coming down to grace the ocean with their presence. All the islands are encircled by a lagoon blessed with crystal clear water. The pearl string like islands covers a land area of no less than 298 km2. The Maldives, located on top of a vast underwater mountain range have around 1190 islands and sandbanks. The travellers should wait until the dawn to catch the glimpse of phenomenal view of the beach with candent of blue light. With Over a 436,330 population of this small country only 200 islands are inhabited. The tourist can reach within 15 minutes through a speedboat. Reaching Vaadhoo Island isn’t a hard task at all. The striking view can be best seen in moonless nights.Īccording to locals, the outstanding view is more prevalent from late summer until end of year. The illumination of blue light does not mean these creatures are amiable, but they produce toxins which are harmful to fish, human and other marine organisms.ĭinoflagellates aren’t the only ones which produce bioluminescence, but there are some other marine organisms like krill, deep-sea squids, and anglerfish which also produce light in their own way. These creatures when eaten by bigger predators still shine inside the living one which means bigger predators go after them too. These dinoflagellates or phytoplankton radiating blue light is kind of a defence for them. Luciferins with luciferase in scintillon when joined with oxygen, a blue neon light is called into existence which glitters when each wave breaks. The proton ion flow in scintillon creates a chemical reaction which activates a protein called luciferase. The electrical signal is sent to the proton ion channel of scintillon of dinoflagellates. The process of illumination occurs when the planktons float as a result a signal is transmitted due to the movement of water. Most of the common among the phytoplankton is dinoflagellate, which illuminate this part of the ocean The beach is part of the Indian Ocean which has billions of phytoplankton that radiate the beach. Most of the common among the phytoplankton is dinoflagellate, which illuminate this part of the ocean. I also think it would be a shame to let such a beautiful place be swallowed up by the sea, not to mention how many people would have to leave their homes.The beach is part of the Indian Ocean which has billions of phytoplankton that radiate the beach. I would just like to make as much people aware of this because I think this information is not well known. The Maldives are the flattest pieces of land on earth and is extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels. Unfortunately, because of serious environmental problems that cause rising sea levels, there is a chance that the Maldives may lose about 3/4 or more of its land mass before the end of this century. ![]() The Sea of Stars is located in the Maldives so I think it is only right that I, as I did before in my post on the Maldives as a whole, address environmental issues that the Maldives could be facing. Simply looking at images of the Sea of Stars is enough to take my breath away. I believe witnessing this phenomenon in action would be one of those moments that a person would always remember. I think that the Sea of Stars is perhaps the most transcending and romantic natural lighting (and of course the Northern Lights.) Not many people are aware of the Sea of Stars but I think this is really a sight that everyone would enjoy seeing. The effect of this phenomenon is simply awe-inspiring ( ): The bioluminescence in the water is actually due to marine microbes called phytoplankton that emanate the blue glow. This illusion is actually created by biological light, or bioluminescence, in the waves. This sea appears to reflect a mirror image of the stars above. This extraordinary sea is actually possible because of one of nature’s many phenomenon. The Sea of Stars is located on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives: I have already discussed the Maldives as a wonderful place that I would like to visit in the future however, I think there is one place located in the Maldives that deserves special attention.
