This place is MAGICAL!!! Glistening Waters is a
glowing lagoon on the north coast of Jamaica.
This marvel is only found in 4 places in the world; however, this lagoon
is the brightest of them all due to more consistent climate. Here, the fresh
water from the Martha Brae River meets the salt-water ocean and this amazing
creation is formed. The water is filled
with phosphorous which allows it to illuminate so brilliantly when disturbed. The
glow is formed from small microorganisms that emit a flash of light when
touched. The microscopic organisms live
and create a natural phenomenon, known as bioluminescence. Jamaica’s luminous lagoon being the brightest
of them all amazes scientists and visitors worldwide.
