Gippsland lake near Victoria, Australia is home to the bluest waters in the world--and I do mean blue. A species of plankton, Noctiluca Scintillans, that lives in the lake, but have grown much larger in population due to the extreme weather that has rained down on Australia these past couple years have caused this simple form of organic life to grow, or is that glow?
The species turn blue, and give off bio luminescence when exposed to movement. And Phil Hart, engineer by day and plankton photographer extraordinaire by night, took the pictures you see here. They are not
manipulated in any way. But, no need to worry, climate change, extreme weather and the rest of the strange happenings these last couple years are just part of a natural cycle according to ideological non-scientist politicians. And politicians never lie.From The Age:
He said the conditions required to generate the deep sulphur-coloured glow emerged over many months - starting with the December 2006 alpine bushfires.
Within months of the fires, which left the landscape scarred and dusted with nitrogen-rich ash, came rain. More than 100 millimetres fell on parts of Gippsland in June 2007, flushing nitrogen and other nutrients into the Gippsland Lakes.
Very interesting. I was just about to read an article about Australia. Anyhow, here's something completely unrelated worth looking at. It's about that movie 'The Shining.' It's stupid but I like reading this kind of stuff. Here's the link:
