Rock Islands Southern Lagoon

The Rocks Islands were inscribed into the World Heritage for its outstanding universal value in 2012. The abandonment of Rock Island villages in the 17th and 18th centuries AD is an exceptional illustration of the intersection and consequences of climate change, population growth, and subsistence behavior. Additionally, contemporary Palauans originated from ancestral Rock Island settlements and identify with the aesthetic and cultural values of the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon.

Jellyfish Lake

One of the more than 70 marine lakes located in the Rock Islands. It is one of the favorite spots for snorkeling because of the millions of stingless golden fish that migrate horizontally across the lake daily. The isolation of the lake has allowed the species to be substantially different from species at nearby lagoons. It is estimated that the lake is around 12, 000 years old.
