On Eil Malk Island in Palau, you can swim with jellyfish without getting stung. This marine lake was once connected to the ocean, but as the island changed, it was cut off. Now in isolation, it's filled with a jellyfish species found nowhere else. With no predators to keep them in check and plentiful algae to feed on, these golden jellyfish swarm and fill the lake like a cloudy dream. Ready for a swim?

And many more in other parts of the world. Stingless jellyfish lake is not only a Palau thing..lol. in fact in Palau there is only one of such lake.

Funny This lake was formed 12000 years ago when Ocean levels were higher and then receded. That would mean humans existed at that time and the climate changed and we survived. Well I'll be damned the world will not end if the climate gets warmer. (or colder) and we didn't even change it back then.
