Fluorescence phenomenon in Lanhu Lake, kipps

In a short period of summer in Australia in 2008-2009, Lake Kippsland has surprisingly turned into a blue lake with fluorescent light, forming a magical scene in the dark. Nocturnal algae, a luminous organism, rarely appear in large density and gather on the shore, turning the whole lake into a luminous lake. Photographer Phil Hart captured this beautiful blue fluorescent scene, and made the defense mechanism of these natural creatures stronger and produced a stronger reaction. When these creatures sense the approach of predators, the night light will become very bright, trying to attract more powerful predators to eat the emerging predators. So constant stirring and splashing the lake will keep the fluorescence going.

Phil Hart, a 34-year-old photographer from Melbourne, Australia, took amazing photos in Lake Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. Like being poured into fluorescent dye, the lake emits dark blue light, which makes people wonder whether swimming in such a lake will be damaged by "radioactive paint" Of course, just looking at such scenery is pleasing to the eye and dreamy. It is reported that Hart and his companions found that throwing stones into the lake would arouse blue fluorescence when they went to Kippsland Lake for night tours and photography. People would get a layer of blue fluorescence after soaking or swimming in the lake, which is very wonderful.

It is reported that this fluorescence is caused by a chemical reaction called bioluminescence. Once the Nocturnal Algae, a microorganism living in the lake, is disturbed by the outside world, they will react naturally and emit light. But usually, the light is not so obvious that even people don't notice it. However, the density of noctilucent microorganisms in this lake is much higher than that in other lakes, thus forming this unique phenomenon. The "prosperity" of microorganisms in this lake may be because floods and forest fires have promoted the entry of nutrient-rich substances into the lake and promoted the development of algae. In order to take more beautiful photos, Hart adjusted the camera shutter to a very slow speed, constantly throwing stones and sand into the lake, and inspiring as many microorganisms as possible to emit strange blue light. Hart said that as the head of a canoe tour project in kipps's Blue Lake, he had never seen such a spectacle in the past 50 years. No one can remember that they have seen such obvious microbial light in Lan Lake, kipps. Hart said that he was very lucky to see and photograph such a strange landscape. Blue fluorescence is so beautiful and attractive that he may only see such a scenery once in his life. When he opened the first photo on the computer, he was shocked by the blue fluorescence on his companion. Hart also said that although the naked eye can see the fluorescence from the lake, the blue color of the fluorescence is more obvious in the camera lens.
