An extraordinary place called Jellyfish Lake draws visitors every year from around the world who are looking to swim with jellyfish.
Surrounded by mangrove trees, millions of the world's rarest jellyfish can be found in the lake, which is located in the western Pacific island nation of Palau.
"I would normally be scared, but nothing's going on, I mean, they don't sting me, you know?" said Eyren Yepez, who came all the way from Nashville for the experience."I just touch them!" The jellies get their energy much the way plants do — from the sun. Each morning, they migrate with it, moving east in the morning and the west in the afternoon. In 2000, scientists estimated there were more than 30 million jellies in the lake. But in 2016 something happened that caused the jellyfish to die — eventually causing the famous lake to be still.
