Every year, the Maldives offers an amazing spectacle - a magical, sparkling coastline, sands strewn with blue lights that look as if the starry sky is reflected right off the shore.
1. This glow is created by phytoplankton - single-celled algae, as well as cyanobacteria. These organisms can carry out the process of photosynthesis.
2. These microorganisms glow with a sapphire light, which is explained by chemical reactions in which the released energy is released in the form of light.
3. Phytoplankton usually glows when irritated - when it hits an obstacle, when there is strong movement of water. Such signals are also a sign warning of the approach of a predator.
4. The photographer is often asked if these are real photographs.
5. He insists they're real, but you'd be lucky to find such a crowd of bioluminescent creatures in one place.
6. He was lucky - he saw this beauty near a Thai restaurant in the Maldives.
