Milky Way And The Great Barrier Reef
Personal memory by Alexandra Velez
2007 • Great Barrier Reef, QLD, Australia
In 2007, I went day & night diving in the Great Barrier Reef off of Cairns, Australia. I could see the Milky Way & Southern Cross in the southern hemisphere. Every year the reef dies off more & more...I hope the generations that come find a way to preserve it.
