Bioluminescent Plankton in Colombia
Bioluminescent plankton are tiny sea creatures that turn iridescent blue at night. This phenomenon results from a chemical reaction and also happens to other marine animals like jellyfish and other species. In Colombia, you can find bioluminescent plankton in a lagoon on Isla Grande, one of the Rosario Islands near Cartagena. Even though you can see them every day of the year, plankton will shine more brightly when clouds cover the moon.
