Magical Glowing Beaches in India
You might have been to beaches many times even at night time. Have you ever been to beaches that glow in the dark? In this video see the 5 glowing beaches in India.
You might have been to beaches many times, and must have been awed by its beauty and pristine waters. You might have also been to many beaches at night for parties, or just to hang around. But have you ever been to beaches that glow in the dark? Shining blue beaches in the night time..it is as if the water has a neon light of its own! Yes, that is very real and is a natural ocean wonder called bioluminescence! It’s when the sea sparkles a neon blue or sometimes green or even red. This beautiful sight is definitely one for the bucket list. The very common misconception about the blue seas is that people think that the waters have their own colors and lights!
However, it is never the water that is shining but the micro-organisms present in them. The word bioluminescent is broken down into - 1. Bio = living organism 2. Luminescence = Light. In Bioluminescence a living organism can produce its own light. When those organisms are present in the seas, it looks like the sea is shining. The bioluminescent sea does not glow constantly throughout. It glows when a wave is disturbing the micro-organisms. If you watch it closely, the water tends to glow every time a tide flows to disturb its rhythm, while it automatically dims as soon as it is steady. The ocean can glow and glitter like the stars in the sky.
We can witness this natural phenomenon at these 5 amazing bioluminescent beaches in India.
