Jellyfish Lake, which is 400 meters long and 30 meters deep, is part of the Koror State Rock Island Southern Lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Lake Nakuru and the Flamingos

Flamingo, Bird, Greater flamingo, Water bird, Beak, Lake Nakuru in Kenya provides possibly one of the most amazing sights on the planet, when sometimes millions of flamingos visit its shores. Nakuru in the language of the Maasai means “dusty place”. Before seeing this magnificent place, new visitors could be forgiven if they think they are going to a brown and dull type of land. In addition to the color provided by the Flamingos, are the colors of the green algae and a vast expanse of blue water. The algae are the cause of the other primary color of the lake, pink.
