Photo by @CristinaMittermeier // There is an underwater sea garden, almost forgotten by the world, where species that have disappeared almost everywhere else, like this elk horn coral, can still be found just beneath the surface. The Gardens of the Queen, aptly named to honor Queen Isabel of Spain by Christopher Columbus when he first arrived to the New World, is one such place.
