Bioluminescence at Qantab
The night the sea glows blue. Sometimes.
On the right winter night, the water around Qantab lights up electric blue wherever it's disturbed, every wave, every splash, every kick of your feet. It's plankton, it's real, and it's never guaranteed, which is exactly why it feels like magic when you catch it.
