NASA Satellite Captures Rare Glowing Phytoplankton Halo Around New Zealand's Chatham Islands

A NASA satellite captured a rare glowing halo of phytoplankton bloom around New Zealand's Chatham Islands on January 10, 2026. The phenomenon, caused by massive coccolithophore growth reflecting sunlight, formed a nearly perfect circular ring due to ocean currents and eddies interacting with the Chatham Rise seamount. While the bloom indicates a healthy marine ecosystem supporting diverse wildlife including 25+ whale species, it also correlates with whale strandings in the area.
