The Moon's Spell on the Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef, covers a range of over 2,000 kilometers off the northeast coast of Australia. Magnificent spectacles of the birth of life unfold here every summer. Male and female surgeonfish swim at lightning speed toward the water surface and spawn; Tens of thousands of green sea turtles simultaneously come ashore under the star-filled sky to lay eggs; And the climax is a rare sight of some 100 varieties of coral all spawning at once within a timeframe of only 15 minutes. Enjoy the breathtaking moments successfully caught on an unprecedented scale by taking full advantage of the amazingly rich colors of high-definition 4K cameras. Immerse yourself in the mysterious drama of life under the spell of the moon, on a summer night.
