Vaadhoo is one of the inhabited islands of Raa Atoll, Maldives. On Vaadhoo Island, one of the islands of Raa Atoll in the Maldives.
You can walk along the beach and leave your gleaming footprints which are washed by every wave coming to the shore. The Sea of Stars became famous because it lasts longer and, as a result, appears clearly on long-exposure photography. The sight seems just like that stars are coming down to grace the ocean with their presence. The travellers should wait until the dawn to catch the glimpse of phenomenal view of the beach with candent of blue light. The tourist can reach within 15 minutes through a speedboat. Reaching Vaadhoo Island isn’t a hard task at all. Photos: DOUG PERRINE/Barcroft Media/Landov. The effect it has on the shore is absolutely breathtaking. 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. What may appear as a mirror image of the stars above, the bio-luminescence in the water is actually due to marine microbes called phytoplankton. 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. Some of the most spectacular photographs have been captured from one location, Maldives (an island in an atoll located in the Indian ocean). What you’re seeing is actually millions of microscopic organisms called bioluminescent phytoplankton. Most of the common among the phytoplankton is dinoflagellate, which illuminate this part of the ocean. The Sea of Stars of Vaadhoo Island Maldives attracts millions of tourists each year. It turns out that putting a certain type of plankton under stress results in one of the most stress-relieving sights on the planet, their resultant blue glow creating astral patterns on sea shores.
