The twinkling starry night was obscured by numerous grey cotton balls from above. Crystal water droplets gently separated themselves from the crying clouds as it tapped the ocean water lightly. Each droplet cascaded from the dark sky as thousands of crystal liquids reflected the majestic ocean. The sun rose from the horizon once again, pouring…
Do you think that human development would’ve made it this far if we didn’t damage the ecosystem? Or did humans do the wrong thing and shouldn’t have harmed the ecosystem in the first place? As many may have known, the earliest life evolved from the oceans billions of years ago. The ocean is responsible for…
Water covers over 70 percent of Earth, with 96.5% of it in oceans. However, 80 percent of the ocean is remains undiscovered. While 91% of marine organisms are yet to be described, here are some animals found in the marine and freshwater ecosystems. Anglerfish Anglerfish are carnivorous fish, with most species living in the deep…
By 2035, climate change will reach a point of no return. Unless immediate, monumental action is taken, 2035 will literally be the beginning of the end. These number are optimistic, as science sides with caution. That mean we have 17 or less years of living without food shortage, economic collapse, unliveable environments, and inevitably, extinction. Ice…
Following a lovely day of fish and fun at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, my family and I sought shelter from the overcast drizzly weather in the quaint little Ghirardelli ice cream parlour across the road. The deep aroma of rich cocoa wafted throughout the small shop, mingling with wafts of the salty sea air. After…
Sharknado? Nope, rather Shark-cano, this time in real life! That’s right folks, sharks have been discovered swimming in the highly acidic and hot waters of an active underwater volcano. Rather, three species of sharks. Sharknado fans, rejoice. A hammerhead shark, silky shark, and the rarely seen sleepy shark were recently captured in a video featured below,…
Taking a bite out of this one. Have you ever been curious about what a shark bite looked like, but was never curious enough to make it happen? Well now you don’t have to find out for yourself. In “Shark After Dark,” makeup artist extrodinaire, Andy Schoneberg, helped create what a shark bite would actually look…
After a very jet lagged first day, a full day of travel with a great night’s sleep was so wonderful. Our day began at 8:00am when we had a Danish breakfast at the hotel and proceeded to see the famous Little Mermaid statue, a homage to the famous fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen. Apparently, when…
The ocean is full of countless bizarre animals, each one weirder than the next. Especially when it comes to their defense mechanisms, which seem alien. One of the weirdest and most spectacular defence mechanisms out there, is that of the mimic octopus. That’s why I’ve officially dubbed the mimic octopus, ninja of the ocean. The…
Here in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, the beach and coastline is just one word: beautiful. While we saw some of the poverty that is common throughout the Dominican Republic, I just wanted to take a moment to show readers some of the gorgeous views of the ocean that we have here. Each night, I hear…
At first glance, I thought this was some sort of exceptional painting that took goodness knows how long to perfect. I was surprised to find that this is actually a real life photo of a Hawaiian volcano spewing lava into the sea, taken under extremely risky conditions. Obviously lava burns (excuse the pun), and…
“I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.” Life of Pi could be said to be the perfect embodiment of today’s culture of technology and the interplay between this technology and our humanity.…
Hey everybody! This is me playing guitar, and I’m covering one of my favourite songs of all time: Ocean by John Butler Trio. Fellow blogger Ali made a post featuring the original video, so here is my tribute to one of the best instrumentals ever. Enjoy!
I found this quite a powerful image – instead of being provided facts about pollution, we get to look under the ocean for ourselves and see what is actually masked under the waves.
