Out of the blue
The picture-perfect islands of the Maldives are
famed for white beaches lapped by the Indian
Ocean. But Vaadhoo Island is most breathtaking
after dark when tiny plants turn the water electric
blue. In this natural phenomenon, the sparkling
sea appears to reflect the starry night.
Many sea
creatures feed
on phytoplankton,
including whales,
sea snails, and
jellyfish.
