✍ENGLISH
Two beautiful photos of the Iranian island Larak in the Persian Gulf, Iran.
Two photos taken by Pooyan Shadpoor have been selected, one by National Geographic, as the photo of the day on 27.07.2015.
And the other selected by Smithsonian Magazine Natural World on 11.2015.
This brilliant sheen is called phytoplankton, which are green in the day and glow at night as they are hit by waves. These phytoplankton transform into oil after millions of years.

-Ocean Science: The power of plankton – Nature
When conditions are right in Earth’s crust, the fossil phytoplankton are turned into oil over a period of several million years. We have been using oil from fossil phytoplankton to fuel our cars and heat our homes for more than a century. Each year, we burn oil that took a million years to produce.
