A New Chapter

 

Sapphire blues and turquoise hues... guess who. This next stop is a surprise; any guesses that come to you?


Sapphire blues and turquoise hues diffuse into the sighing sea that surrounds you. A symphony of color and life, you breathe out in awe and remember that only bubbles and the blue can judge you down here. Here—where the flora spiral into skies and sculpt art out of dust and air*1. Here—where the fauna is the darting dancers whose seemingly silent steps and streaks stream together into a song only those belonging to this deep can hear. 

Here, the sea doesn't just reflect starlight, it can be seen from the stars—in the devoid abyss of space that mirrors the depths of some other deep. 

But not this one. 

Here, the sea reaches down a shallow 200 feet. But despite the lack of depth, this place stretches over 133,000 sq miles and contains over 9000 species, making it the largest coral reef system in the world. 

Welcome to an explosion of color, life, and beauty. Welcome to our next stop: The Great Barrier Reef. 


Sapphire blues and turquoise hues are just the beginning...


footnotes

*1 - i hate to interrupt this pretty flow of words but to clarify, calcium carbonate has 'carbon' in it, which is in the air. this selection of words was intentional and too good to pass up for a technicality. i'm guessing most of you aren't coral experts tho so you could've just bought the dust and air thing
