- Wāhi helu: Vaadhoo, Maldives
Ma kekahi o nā moku Maldivian, ua hoʻonuiʻia ka wai kūpilikiʻi e ka nui o nā mea mālamalama. ʻO kēia kiʻi ka mahalo i nā mea mākaʻikaʻi a pau, a i nā wā kahiko i ka moana, ua hakuʻia nā mele a me nā moʻo leʻaleʻa. Kapaʻia kēia wahiʻo "Glowing Beach" a me ke Kaiʻo Stars (Star of the Stars) a aia ma ka mokuʻo Vadhu . Hiki keʻikeʻia ma waho o kahi.
Hōʻike o kaʻike
I ke kakahiaka a me ke awakea,ʻaʻole i kū ke kahakai i ke kūlana o ke koena o ka'āina. Kū ka ulu o nā kumulāʻau maʻaneʻi, uaʻaʻahu ka wai, a he keʻokeʻo ka one. Me ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka panaʻana ma ke kahakai, he mau kukui liʻiliʻi loa no ka hue uliuli, i hui pū i loko o ka'ōnahu.
ʻO ka hopena o ka nohoʻana ma ka Moana India o phytoplankton (Lingulodinium Polyedrum), i kapaʻia he dinoflagellates. ʻO ka'ōlaʻi ma ke kahakai he mea hana maʻalahi ia, i kapaʻia he luminescence.
Hāʻule nāʻanoʻano i ke kahakai i ke kai. Noho kekahi o lākou i ke one, ma kahi o nā kukui'ōlinolino o keʻano, aʻo kekahi e lana ana ma kaʻaoʻao o ke kai a komo i loko o ke kiʻi nui o "magic".
Hoʻomaka ka manawa o Neon ke hanaʻia kekahi microorganic unicularular (e laʻa, inā paʻi kekahi iā lākou). ʻO nā haʻawina algae kekahiʻano bioluminescent (eg, nocturnal), no laila lākou e hana ai i ka hoʻonani a waiho i kahi hualala i hope o lākou.
ʻO ke kaʻina hana luminescence
I mea e hoʻonaninani ai ka'āina me nā mana he mau kukui, pono pono ka hoʻonāʻana i ka pulina eletise. Hoʻopili ke kauoha i ka pūmole o loko o ke kino (vacuoles), he vial membrane o protons. Ma waena o lākou ua piliʻia lākou e kahi luckiferase enzyme. I kēiaʻano, ua weheʻia nā pahu kani e hoʻonā ana i ka mālamalama. ʻO ka hana maʻamau kēia manawa ke hanaʻia ka hana mechanical inā:
- ka iʻa lawaiʻa, ka lawaiʻa aiʻole ka iʻa;
- e haki ka nalu i ke kai;
- ka papa heʻenalu a moku paha.
ʻO kaʻauʻauʻana ma ke kahakai
ʻO ka poʻe huakaʻi i hele mua i kēia wahi,ʻaʻohe nani o ka 'āina, akā e noi ana eʻauʻau i ka wai anuanu. Holo i ka wai o ke kahakai he mea weliweli no ke olakino a me ke ola o kanaka, no ka mea,ʻo nā meaʻanoʻanona e hoʻohua i nā mea ino. No kēia kumu, e hele mai i ke kai eʻike wale aku i ka nani kūlohelohe.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ka kipa
Inā makemakeʻoe e hana i nā kiʻi nani ma nā kahakai o Maldives , ponoʻoe e hele mai mai Iulai a hiki i Fepeluali. ʻOi aku nā'ōleʻa maikaʻi i ka pō pouliʻole. Hāpai ka laniʻeleʻele i ka hanaʻana i ka hopena kupaianaha o ka bioluminescence.
No ka'ōʻana o ke kukui, ponoʻoe e kāpīpī i ka wai me kou mau wāwae e waiho i nā meaʻoiʻole ma ke one. Hiki mai nā haneli he nui i nā lā a pau. ʻO ka komoʻana i ke kahakai he kūʻokoʻa, a ponoʻoe e hele i laila ma hope o 18:00.
Pehea e hiki ai i laila?
Ma ka paneʻana i ka nīnau e pili ana i kahi e waiho ai ke kahakai, e'ōleloʻia aia aia ma ka mokupuniʻo Vaadhoo (Vaadhoo) ma nā Maldives. Ma kahi o ka'āina a puni, hiki i kekahi keʻike i ka luminescence. Hiki iāʻoe ke hele ma laila me ka hele huakaʻi a iʻole ma kāu iho. No ka hanaʻana i kēia, ponoʻoe e uku i ka moku.
