To Swim With Ten Million Moons

There's a place in Palau called Jellyfish Lake where you can swim with more than 10 million jellyfish, one of which is called the moon jelly.  It looks amazing!  Apparently their stings are not powerful enough to harm humans.

There are tons of fantastic pictures out there, but here's just a few I found on Flickr and in this article.

I am happy to see you update your blog more often.

Nice pictures and info on the jellyfish. Are they killers? They look like killers. They have probably done time in prison because they have killed before.

Harmless? I've seen these jellyfish hanging around the pool halls sniffing glue. They certainly are dangerous. Have you ever had one approach you for your lunch money? I'm telling you these jellyfish are no good.
