Few month ago me and my friends visited St. Martin’s Island and discovered speculator phenomena which is still not explored by any one . Yes, no one before me discover it or bring it as a written format or capture any footage. You must know about the Breathtaking Sea of Stars in The Maldives, right? let me tell you that, I found it in St. Martin’s Island in Bangladesh. I have searched many books and articles but not found any information about Sea of Stars in Saint Martin. I was surprise why no one never told about it.
It was middle of February 2020, after finishing the dinner, we were three friends seating in the beach of Saint Martin. We were gossiping, actually we try to see the comet but our luck was too bad we don’t find any. We were enjoying the gaze into the sky and see countless stars and the faint outline of the Milky Way and Look over at the Bay of Bengal. Suddenly, I noticed that, where we stepped our foot are glowing! we were astonished! One of my friends named James kick the water and speared it into the shore. Then stare at the bluish glow and sparkling of the water lapping against the shore. This natural phenomenon is known as the Sea of Stars Which I found around 3:00 am in St. Martin’s Island. Yap, it’s not glossy like Maldives’s Sea of Stars but enough to explebound you. Ok, ok you cant trust me right ? Even i don’t trust, if anybody tells me this story, lets take a look of the video footage which I recorded from St. Martin’s Island beside the Kingshuk eco resort.https://youtu.be/wFBz9w3dw3M
What you see ? Yes, it’s amazing,magical,I really can’t explain the beauty of it. We ask local people about it. They told us,”it is a NONAPOKA.”
What causes the incredible Sea of Stars?
In the Bay of Bengal ocean live billions and billions of micro-organisms, including dinoflagellates, which are a type of phytoplankton. But what differentiates the Lingulodinium polyedrum from other organisms is their unique ability to generate light. Stress, caused by the movement of the sea and waves, leads the plankton to emit light, or bioluminescence as a defense mechanism in a similar way to some fireflies. The bioluminescent light has an electric blue-neon color, radiating further as each wave breaks. The speculator phenomena is one of nature’s rarest events.
Don’t set your hopes too high, As nature is unpredictable, nothing is for sure. Planning a trip to the St. Martin’s Island in the hope of experiencing the Sea of Stars might not be a wise decision. Nature does as nature pleases and an element of luck helps. Seeing the Sea of Stars should be a bonus, not a given.
