Invasion of the jellyfish (18 photos)

The unusual phenomenon occurred early this spring in the Bay of Balaclava, that at Sevastopol. The entire water area was filled with jellyfish.
A boat, boats and yachts standing near the shore, as if they are in the white jelly. Scientists say that the phenomenon is caused by wind and general trends.
Also served as a side factor is quite high temperature (20 degrees Celsius) and water (14 degrees).
Incidentally, this is not the first such invasion in Balaklava and other Sevastopol bay.



 
Aurelia or long-eared jellyfish - one of the most common species of jellyfish found in the Black Sea



Throwing a first look at the water in the bay, you do not notice anything unusual. Did you notice large clumps of white jellyfish. But looking back on the sides ...



... See that they are everywhere



And the closer you come to the pier and moored boats, the greater the number of jellyfish around notice



In some places, it's just a solid jelly on the surface which even begins to accumulate garbage



It feels like pudding so thick that it can safely reach the boat



Water moves even slightly



Medusa resemble ice crust



Even glamor can not ignore jellyfish ...



But since this beauty looks close ...



Medusa rally



Among this mass are even large enough copies



A little different angle and semi-calf, breaking the light, give the water a completely different color



Interestingly, these four circles in the hat jellyfish are often of different colors - from white to purple



Medusa orgy



Medusa-dad



And once again light refraction
