This video recording of Nana Trongratanawong “ surrounded by millions of fortunate jellyfish during a freedive at Jellyfish Lake , Palau . ” Although you ca n’t see them , that “ one thousand thousand ” figure of speech is not an exaggeration:“Millions of golden jellyfishmigrate horizontally across the lake daily . ”
I do n’t know if I should feel astonished or gross out out .
consort to Wikipedia , Jellyfish Lake “ is amarine lake turn up on Eil Malk island in Palau . ” The lake is “ connected to the sea through chap and burrow in the limestone of an ancient Miocene Witwatersrand . ”
The golden jellyfish almost disappeared from the lake in 1998 , but now it is back into the millions . They transmigrate across the entire lake all twenty-four hours longin this pattern :
Nox – For about 14 hour a daytime the jellyfish make repeated vertical outing between the surface and thechemoclinein the western basin possibly to acquirenitrogenand other food from near the chemocline for their symbiotic algae.[2][11 ]
