Places in the world
Let's see the most unusual corners of our planety.Rech it goes on unusual landscapes, which are admired only one of its kind - a true natural wonders.
Let's start with perhaps the most heavenly portion of our planet - the Dry Valleys in Antarctica. This desert is unique - it is the driest place on earth. It is not excluded any precipitation over several million years. This place is at its closest to the climate of Mars, so is of particular interest to NASA. There are tested rovers, conducted extensive research in all directions. This is the only part of Antarctica not covered by ice. In the valleys of the frozen lake is extremely salty water beneath the ice were found mysterious bacteria and organisms - this finding served as a confirmation of the theory that life on Mars exists
In second place is the island of Socotra - landscapes of the island are unique, and looked more like alien. The island is geographically isolated from Africa for 6 million years, replete with a variety of very rare species of flora and fauna - a third of them are endemic and found only here. Despite the hot and dry climate there grows a lot of amazing and beautiful plants, many of whom about 20 million years.
Next in the list of "most unusual places in the world" to be the Rio Tinto mine in Andalusia, Spain. Huge Career Rio Tinto create a surreal, like a lunar landscape. Career named after the eponymous river, which flows here, and minerals washed out of the huge craters. Mining was conducted here over the centuries, so the river was painted in bright red-orange color, its acidity and saturation of the metal just rolls over. At present, mining in the region abandoned, and Rio Tinto in Andalusia attracts crowds of tourists and photographers.
Go ahead, I still have something to surprise you :) I bet you've never heard of Spotted Lake, and certainly not seen such stunning scenery. It is a lake in British Columbia, Canada. Depending on weather conditions and time of year, the lake is crystallized, and is painted in a specific color. The lake formed by a plurality of "spots" - circles of minerals. This is the world's largest concentration of magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts), calcium and sodium, as well as silver and titanium. This place is sacred for indigenous Indians of Canada, and is famous for its healing properties - for this he was given the name of the Spotted Lake.
Another unusual landscape - the world's largest salt lake, Salar de Uyuni. This is a beautiful area with a great salt desert, active volcanoes, large islands cacti and geysers. On the lake you can ride a jeep - admire the unusual, sometimes unearthly beauty of this place. Salar de Uyuni is easily visible from space and one of the points for the calibration of satellites.
In Brazil, there is another unusual place - Vale da Lua, which means Valley of the Moon. This rock formation, washed with water, with natural swimming pools. Vale da Lua is located in the Brazilian Chapada Forest and is one of the oldest rock formations in the world, consisting of quartz crystals.
Unusual places to eat in Japan. This Bloody Pond, one of the famous Beppu springs. It houses nine unusual sources, geysers, but the most famous among them - Bloody Pond with hot water bright red. This color is due to the high iron content in the water. This pond is also the most photogenic of all the sources.
On the eighth place in our list Shilin Stone Forest in China - a stunning example of karst topography. Rocks are composed of limestone and formed water, destroying everything except these pillars, similar to the trees. Since the time of the Ming Dynasty stone forest Shilin known as "the first wonder of the world"
Another miracle of nature - Structure Richat in Mauritania. It is also called the Eye of the Sahara. Richat diameter is about 30 miles away, and is visible from space. Formation, as originally thought, formed by meteorite, but modern geologists believe that the structure Richat - the result of erosion. The reason for its circular shape - is still a mystery over who beat scientists around the world.
Famous gate to Hell - Darwaz in Turkmenistan, too, are on the list. This place is frightening in its power, thousands of tons of lava and heat emanating from the bowels of the Earth. It is burning a crater in the middle of the Karakum desert, its diameter - 60 meters and depth of 20 meters. At its core - Darwaz is a gas well, and the story of its discovery is rather interesting. Researchers are drilled wells to produce gas, but due to the huge gap opened, had set fire to the gas that nobody poisoned.
Completing the list of the most extraordinary places on earth Eysrayzenvelt ice caves. These caves are different from any other of its ice caves unusual. Once here you feel in some other fairy-tale world. In the world there are many ice caves, but the caves Eysrayzenvelt - the biggest among them. Their total length is 40 kilometers, and is open to visit only a small part. But even this is enough to thousands of tourists every day admired the greatness and uniqueness of this place.
