In the Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, occurs one of the most amazing phenomena of the world, called "sea of stars".
A phenomenon, which makes the sand seems shiny, happens in these beaches. This spectacular event occurs only when temperatures are very high and the night is very dark. Sparks can be seen rolling around underfoot while people walk along the water's edge, creating a beautiful light show.
Points of light on the shore appear to reflect stars above in a picture taken in Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives. Biological light, or bioluminescence, in waves is the product of marine microbes called phytoplankton, and now scientists think they know how some of these life forms create their bright blue glow.
It is a spectacular landscape that is necessary to see once in your life. In the movie Life of Pi showed this landscape, one of the most memorable scenes.
