Lambert Glacier
The largest glacier in the world is in Antarctica. The length of the ice blocks is more than 400 kilometers, width - 200 km. Lambert Glacier gives birth to a beautiful natural phenomenon - the magical emerald icebergs that are "touched up" organic substances contained in the ice. Dry Valleys of Antarctica itself is wonderful and mysterious, because the territory of more than 3 million square kilometers, no ice, no snow. From the coast of the river flows and Onyx also has mysterious Lake Vanda, the water temperature in which is 25 degrees Celsius.
Lake John Juan
The most salty body of water in the world is Lake John Giovanni, all located in the same place in the unfathomable Antarctic.

To date, the record is put on the board at 12, 5 kilometers away.
Stones-creep
Moving stones can be seen in the Central Valley of Death. Weight Kamenyuki some of these travelers reached 200 kilograms, but that does not prevent it heavyweights move.
