exPress-o: Would you dare?

Would you dare?

Thursday, June 28, 2012

Lovelies, would you be brave enough to swim in the Jellyfish Lake? Despite the fact that I think of them as "mesmerizingly disturbing" I literally gasped when I saw those photographs! This incredible spot is hidden on Eil Malk Island in Palau (around 500 miles east of the

Philippines

) and it’s one of those very few rare gems that are definitely worth checking out. Crikey, just looking at their serene peacefulness makes me daydream about spending an afternoon snorkelling amongst them. Bonus: I read that there is no fear of being stung as their stings weakened over time. Win, win:) Would you dare? Have you been there already? Do tell. xo

P.S: Here is an awesome underwater video of this lake.

Patricia Villamil said...: wow this is really amazing, but anything sea related I deeply respect and admire from a distance. Being a water sign should make me less afraid of sea creatures, but nope, I'm really not one to venture with other sea creatures. Although I hear that in new zealand and australia are very open to swimming with wild dolphins. That could be a cool post!; June 28, 2012 at 9:09 PM
Natasha Fatah said...: Nope, definitely would not.
It's beautiful but I was actually bit by a jelly fish in the Red Sea when I was little kid, and I'm deadly frightened now.

Hannah Q. Parris said...: I love these photos, but I think I'd be too creeped out having them brush against me, even if they couldn't sting me!; June 29, 2012 at 1:20 AM
Diana Mieczan said...: Hannah, that is a good point.; June 29, 2012 at 2:34 PM
