The phenomenon is created by the interaction of normal clouds charged with electric particles that are present in the volcanic ash cloud. It almost looks like a portal to hell and a spectacular sight to watch.

The bioluminescent beach of the Maldives makes waves glow blue each time the water comes to the shore. This makes the entire beach look like some fairyland. The reason for the luminosity is the presence of ostracod crustaceans that glow and create the magical effect. These creatures emit light longer than regular plankton.

The blue tide of San Diego is a beautiful spectacle to watch. It is created by the presence of linulodinium polyhedron, a kind of phytoplankton that gives the waves the electric blue color. Watching the ethereal sight at twilight is a fantastic experience.
