Amazing natural phenomena
Nature loves "a joke", and some of her "joke" is very impressive. She again and again awakens in us the spirit of adventure and again proves how little we, in fact, know about it.
The underwater world of the "Green Lake» (Grüner See)
It is clear lake with a transparent emerald water constantly changes its size and depth. Thus, in winter, it dries to the size of the pond and covers the ground only 1-2 meters.
While summer water rises to 12 meters and part of the national park with paths and benches under water and is transformed into a kind of Atlantis. A paradise for divers.
Shadow "huge bear»
Shadow "huge bear" appears twice a year in the mountains of the US state of North Carolina and attracts crowds of tourists who want to look at this miracle. It can be seen every day for 30 minutes, but only from late October to early November and mid-February to early March. It was at this time the shadow of the mountain takes the shape of a large bear.
Rainbow River
The river Caño Cristales (Caño Cristales) in Colombia has the usual color for the first six months of each year, but from July to December, the water is colored in a rainbow of colors. Under the influence of weather algae in the river changing its color: red, yellow, blue, green and orange - all these colors are literally overflowing the river, which locals call the "five colors", and tourists - "Rainbow».
The migration of millions of red crabs
Every year on Christmas Island about 43 million land crabs rush to the ocean to lay their eggs. At this time, the local government covers most of the roads of the island, not to interfere with the migration.
Blue Volcano
From the crater of the volcano Ijen (Ijen) in Indonesia pulled out tongues of blue flame. This is due to the combustion of sulfur dioxide at a temperature of 600 ° C.
Eye of the Sahara
The so-called "Eye of the Sahara" (or structure "Richat") - a geological formation with a diameter of 50 kilometers, which orbit looks like it is full of eyes with iris and pupil. At one time, the eye served as a guide to the astronauts, as such a landscape is very atypical for desert, and therefore stands out.
Fire Rainbow
A rare optical effect that appears when the sun's rays are reflected off ice crystals in clouds, which are at a great distance from the ground. Reflected light is divided into its spectral colors. Similar phenomena can be observed in the summer when the sun is high enough above the horizon.
"Twists" storm
Correct this natural phenomenon called sverhmnogoyacheechnaya thunderstorm. This kind of storms is the rarest but most dangerous due to the collision of dry and cold air with the warm rain. Most of these storms occur on the plateau of the Great Plains in the United States, because of what the people in the plains is often called "Tornado Valley". At a safe distance, such storms are a stunner.
Martian landscape in Namibia
This, of course, goes on this Martian landscape. Imagine a fairly large space with dry acacia on the background of the world's largest sand dune orange. This place is located in the national park Namibia Namib Naukluft (Namib-Naukluft National Park). The remains of petrified trees, as hot and dry air prevents the process of decay.
Ice cave ghosts
Bizarre ice caves in the national park Skaftafell in Iceland - the result of centuries of glacial deposits. When the air warms up, and the rain in a park, cave walls become thinner. Sunlight coming through the ice walls, turning them into magnificent sapphires. And though it is a miracle it does not last long - stunning views.
