Jellyfish Lake, Palau

Jellyfish Lake is a natural lake located on one of Palau's uninhabited islands. The lake is about 30 meters deep and offers underwater adventurers an abundance of endemic marine life to investigate. The most famous of the sea life found in the lake is a type of jellyfish that no longer has the ability to inflict stings. Snorkellers swim amidst hundreds of these graceful creatures without fear of discomfort.
