Nighttime at the Aquarium. Myrtle the green sea turtle has found a perch at the top of the four-story replica reef of the Giant Ocean Tank. She catches a wink in a sliver of “moonlight” as the reef swirls around her. The lighting for this exhibit has been designed to simulate a day in the tropics: sunrise, daylight, passing clouds, sunset, and moonlight. Check out our Facebook page to see dear old Myrtle from a different perspective.

Myrtle the green sea turtle eats lettuce, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts several times a day. That's how she keeps her beautiful figure. #Myrtletheturtle #newenglandaquarium #greenseaturtle #seaturtle #oceanambassador #largeandincharge (at New England Aquarium)
