The first time I saw Jellyfish Lake was the IMAX documentary, The Living Sea. For some reason I've been thinking about it, well Palau actually, with all this doom and gloom in the news. I find scuba diving a serene experience (when there's no current or surge) and these jellyfish are testament to that.
Jellyfish Lake is located at Palau and was created when the lake was closed off from the sea due to geological evolution. The jellyfish dined on the abundance of algae in the lake and lost their ability to sting over time. Their numbers are vast, almost overwhelming, and visitors are allowed to swim (but not scuba) among them.
