Vaadhoo Island, Maldives: The Sea of Stars
Did you ever think you might see the stars actually fall into the ocean? On certain special nights at Vaadhoo Island, the water right at the edge of the shore turns into a living, shimmering mirror of the night sky—hence the name, "Sea of Stars." This jaw-dropping natural show is caused by zillions of tiny, completely harmless marine organisms called phytoplankton. Whenever the water gets jostled (by a wave, a foot, or even a paddle), they light up, producing a mesmerizing, twinkling blue glow. It absolutely feels like pure magic—a spectacular, living, blue light show put on solely by the ocean!
Specialty: The phenomenal natural bioluminescence that makes the ocean water glow a brilliant, electric blue at night.
