From the eight vaults inside Fortress Kijkduin (see also yesterday's post), two are now set up as a sea aquarium. Being there it was so hard to imagine that once soldiers resided here, that there was a shooting gallery, a gun powder room, and everything that was needed in a war..
Visitors walk through a 12 m long underwater tunnel, which was really wonderful. The aquarium, which opened in 1996, is entirely focused on life in the North Sea, so all fish are "local".
...that's quite a tunnel.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTotally cool!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is amazing and what a wonderful use for the old war tunnels!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenZiet er fantastisch uit.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWat een mooie tunnel om doorheen te gaan!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe have an aquarium here in Toronto with a tunnel like that one; very impressive. It is the Ripley's Aquarium located just southeast of the CN Tower.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIncredible and supremely beautiful and I would probably go a little nuts being slightly claustrophobic! :) But I'd certainly want to share in this sublime place so I probably walk the rails.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery cool!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love this, it must be incredible to walk through and see all the fish.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is so wonderful to see ocean life from this point of view.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery interesting place...also useful to remind people how crazy a war is!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow! What a fantastic use of the space! AQA, our aquarium, is one of my favourite places to visit.. super shots Marleen, it wouldn't be so easy down there!
