As of today, out of season, returns ~February. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each year on Lombok's southern coasts, swarms of small marine worms called nyale wash onto beaches for a short seasonal pulse tied to local lunar and cultural calendars.
The event is the focus of the Bau Nyale festival, a cultural harvest ritual and popular visitor spectacle that can draw thousands to the shoreline for a few nights.
