  • Many of the inner lakes and lagoons in Palau's Rock Islands are accessible only by crawling, swimming or scuba diving through narrow passages like this one, which is the entrance to Jurassic Lake in Ulong Island. Ron Leidich (pictured) led me through, along with travel writer Terry Ward (background).

  • I photographed this Pachyseris speciosa coral formation in Disney Lake, a saltwater enclosure in the Rock Islands of Palau. The lake is only accessible via a submerged tunnel. The lake and surrounding area is sheltered from wind and waves, and almost no one enters the enclosed area, so some species of coral that are normally fragile are able to grow to large sizes. This coral formation was so thin at its edge that light can shine through. Lit from behind, the lines comprising the coral growth reminded me of flowing volcanic lava.

  • Jellyfish Lake in Palau is one of five saltwater lakes in the Rock Islands of Palau that are inhabited by jellyfish that have lost most of their stinging capability. It is the only one of the five lakes that is open for tourists to visit. The jellyfish depend on algae that live within their bodies for nutrition. The symbiotic algae use photosynthesis to produce nutrients. Jellyfish Lake is connected to the ocean through fissures and tunnels in the limestone.
