just a little random post...
lately, my "jogging/walking" ...(you can be assured it is much more walking) route includes down by the water next to the Charleston aquarium. I have always been intrigued in fish and marine life, etc. so I decided to do a little research on the best aquariums. It is so interesting! that God created so many VAST oceans/seas truly amazes me!! I especially love all the fishies and funny sea creatures that dwell within :) I am such a dork...oh well!
I am fascinated by all these " holders" of marine life that I have shared below! check them out!
Oceanário de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal:
this is the biggest aquarium in Europe. opened in 1998. has over 8 thousand sea creatures and 500 species of plants! incredible.
famous for its collection of Australian sea creatures from all over the western Australian coast. also has a 98-meter underwater tunnel that is fully transparent!! how cool!
located in the Radisson Hotel Berlin, can be called the most impressive aquarium in the world. its in the atrium of the hotel the giant cylinder has a height of more than 25 meters and the outer diameter of 11 meters. The volume of the aquarium is nearly one million liters of water and it dwells more than 2600 species of fish with the variety of 56. Inside the cylinder a transparent two-story elevator works, slowly delivers visitors and tourists from the hall on the ground floor through the entire aquarium to the upper observation platform below the large glass dome of the hotel.
dubai aquarium is inhabited with 33,000 fish and marine animals of 85 different species. Its gigantic viewing window is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s largest acrylic panel. it is part of a huge shopping and entertainment center that opened in November 2008.
The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Okinawa, Japan:
is designed so as to best display the marine life of the Japanese islands, and is divided into three zones. the visitors first examine the world of shallow waters and coral reefs, then descend deeper into the aquarium to the inhabitants of waters of warm current of Kuroshio and then to the residents of the mysterious depths, usually hidden from common eyes.
L’Oceanogràfic, Valencia, Spain:
the aquarium Valencia's main building in the form of water lily was designed by the renowned Spanish architect Felix Candela. 45000 fish and marine animals, which constitute the ecosystem of the Mediterranean Sea, the Arctic and Antarctic and tropical seas, live in L’Oceanogràfic. pretty awesome.
The Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta, USA:
L’Oceanogràfic, Valencia, Spain:

and saved the BEST for last...
largest aquarium in the world (woo hoo!!) with capacity of more than 31 thousand cubic meter contains more than 100 thousand inhabitants of water depths. the shape of the building resembles a huge aquarium cruise liner, divided into 60 separate aquariums. the largest one contains two whale sharks, which are among the largest fish in the ocean.
happy thursday!
