At first glance it seems this boat has been blasted into space and its crew is floating amongst the stars. But this picture was actually taken 150ft underground - in a pitch-black cave illuminated by glow-worms. The breathtaking limestone caves in Waitomo, New Zealand, are home to hundreds of thousands of the beetles - which light up the caverns like bright blue stars.

A Beluga whale has become a sensation at an aquarium after learning how to blow halo-shaped bubbles. The extraordinary sight was captured on camera by photographer Hiroya Minakuchi at the Shimane aquarium in Japan. He said: “This beluga started making bubble rings when she was seven. And a couple of years ago she developed her technique. Now she blows the water from her mouth to make a current, which is not visible for us underwater. She then blows air from her blow hole into the current and that makes a ring shape.”
