Walking Underwater?

These are the caves of Mendenall Ice Caves located in Alaska, USA and believe it or not, they only exist because of melting glaciers. Sadly, that means that they won’t last forever because the ice has no intentions to stop melting. Getting to the ice caves is the hard part. You must endeavor a canoe ride or take a long trek to the glacier, scale the ice, and then take a tour underneath all the glaciers and through the caves while praying they don’t collapse on you.  The glacier itself is 12 miles long and is warned to be a dangerous, but if you’re willing to sport a helmet and some sexy hiking boots to get over the rocks, the view from down below is breathtaking and most definitely worth the scene of gorgeous bubbly ice above you.

Nope, Not Stars

What you’re looking at are the Waitomo Glowworm caves in New Zealand. Boat tours are offered over the 250+ meters of caverns (that’s 2 ½ football fields!).  The glowing worms make their homes all over the caves, providing you with a galaxy sightseeing like experience as you glide through the calm waters.  The cavern itself has world-renown acoustics too! So go ahead and sing yourself a starry lullaby while you wade through this out-of-this-world cave!

 Stars in the Sea too? 

The glowing blue shores of Vaadhoo Island, Maldives maybe look like a big mirror reflecting the starry sky above but don’t be fooled. It’s caused not by stars or little lights, but by phytoplankton, marine microbes that are bioluminescent which result in the most beautiful and natural glowing light. Talk about a romantic walk on the beach, huh?
