Jellyfish Lake

About this site

Jellyfish Lake on Eil Malk Island is a landlocked marine lake connected to the ocean through submarine fissures, home to millions of golden jellyfish (Mastigias sp.) that have evolved in isolation over 12,000 years and lost their stinging ability. Snorkellers glide through pulsating clouds of jellyfish that follow the sun across the lake, an experience unlike anything else in the natural world. Scuba diving with tanks is prohibited to protect the thermocline layer.
