Incredible Jellyfish Lake at Mecherchar Island, Palau!

Here’s an incredible lake at Mechercahr Island, Palau, where you can swim with the thousands of jellyfish without getting stinged.

To access this incredible location, you must cross a small, steep ridge, separating the lake from the surrounding lagoon, but once you reach it and get in the water you’ll realize this alone was worth the entire trip. Just imagine being in the middle of a beautiful, warm lake, surrounded by small, golden jellyfish, pulsating right in front of your eyes, as you sink your head into the water to take a better look. This might seem a little frightening for some, but there’s really nothing to worry about, unlike normal jellyfish, these ones don’t sting. Through time, because they didn’t have any threat to protect themselves against, the have lost their ability to sting, they do still have stinging cells, but they are so tiny, they can’t penetrate human skin.
