Jellyfish Lake
Posted by zion on Aug.31, 2009, under Daily Pictures
Jellyfish Lake is a well-known dive site in the Pacific island of Palau. It is on Eil Malk, one of the Rock Islands, a series of small, rocky, uninhabited archipelagos off the coast of Koror. Jellyfish Lake, known to Palau’s natives as Ongeim’l Tketau, is one of over 70 similar saltwater lakes in the islands and contains over ten million jellyfish that have descended and evolved from a common ancestor, the spotted jellyfish. Jellyfish Lake is completely isolated, but in the distant past, it had an outlet to the ocean.
