🌡️ The Wandering Fever of El Niño

from Saltwater Stories · host Salty Media

In this episode of Saltwater Stories, we follow the wandering fever that moves through the Pacific Ocean and changes the world in its wake.Born from shifting winds and immense reservoirs of hidden heat, El Niño travels across the sea like a living force. As warm water spreads eastward, entire ecosystems begin to unravel. Fisheries collapse, coral reefs bleach into ghostly white cities, seabirds abandon their young, and marine iguanas shrink their own skeletons just to survive.From the cold green waters of Peru to the volcanic shores of the Galápagos and the coral reefs of the tropics, we witness how a single pulse of ocean warmth can reshape life above and below the waves. Beyond the sea, this wandering fever reaches into the sky itself, fueling floods in some corners of the world while igniting drought and wildfire in others.This is the story of Earth’s most powerful ocean rhythm and the fragile, interconnected living systems that rise and fall with it.Welcome to the wandering fever of El Niño.#ElNino #ClimateScience #MarineBiology #PacificOcean #CoralBleaching #OceanCurrents #ClimateChange #OceanStories #SaltwaterStories
