Kuroshio Sea

Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world - (song is Please don't go by Barcelona) from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

This was shot at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. http://www.kaiyouhaku.com/en/

The main tank called the ‘Kuroshio Sea’ holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world’s second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.
Jon Rawlinson shot this with a Canon 5DMKII. Allow to load before watching.

This deserves the full screen treatment.
