One of the most beautiful representatives of subtropical fish, coral fish from the Bonin Islands (Japan), willingly rises to the surface of the water, hunting for plankton and basking in the rays of the hot sun. The turquoise color of the water colors the fins of this fish in the corresponding color, making it almost invisible and thereby protecting it from possible danger.

Hang Yong Cave in Vietnam is one of the attractions that every tourist seeks to see. These tunnels in the rock were cut by the Rao Tuong River. During dry months, the river turns into a small stream. But when the rainy season begins, the water level can rise by 90 meters, and this place is completely submerged.

White and calm as moonlight, majestic and important whooper swans walk along the frozen surface of one of the lakes on the Japanese island of Hokkaido.

However, biologists believe that this is good only for tourists, but not for birds, otherwise they will forget how to find their own food on their own.

The Florida Keys archipelago, which consists of more than two hundred islands, stretches along the southern tip of the Florida Peninsula. The main attraction of this area is not only and not so much in the numerous coral reefs overgrown with moss and algae - here in 1987, at a depth of 36 meters, a ship called "Duane" was deliberately sunk. For more than 20 years, the ship has turned into an artificial reef, and is fun for professional divers and diving enthusiasts alike.
