The Georgia Aquarium

I have no vested interest in plugging the new Georgia Aquarium. I simply can't wait to check it out. The following pictures/captions are from CNN.com.


Enormous tanks that sprawl and curve give visitors the chance to virtually dive into the fishes' world.








The Georgia Aquarium has 5 beluga whales -- 2 from Mexico and 3 from New York.






The facility holds more than 8 million gallons of water to house well over 100,000 fish.








Computers monitor the life support system and regulate the water filtration.




The new aquarium is the first in North America to attempt to keep whale sharks in captivity.
