I visited the northern beach of the small island Soneva Jani and couldn’t believe my eyes. The whole beach shined with engaging turquoise light while the gems of the Southern Cross constellation appeared in the sky, such as the Gum Nebula or Carina Nebula. Locals say the bioluminescence of plankton peaks in early January, but this year the activity prolonged a month more. Not every night before or after it was that strong, but this night was just simply EPIC. You could easily walk on the beach with the plankton stuck on your feet so much that your legs worked like small torches. You could swim in the lagoon and see each of your movements illuminated by the plankton in the water. You just felt like in a turquoise wonderland.
