There are no identical waterfalls! However, there are on the planet that break conventional ideas about natural phenomena. The site presents you the most bizarre and unusual waterfalls Earth.

1. "Okamenyayuschy" waterfall, UK In Yorkshire there is a very attractive place for esoteric - Mother Shipton's Cave. According to legend, it was here in 1488 was born prophetess Mother Shipton, known as Mother Shipton. She was considered the devil's daughter and a small waterfall flowing from the walls of the cave, seen as vicious. And no wonder - the water, rich in minerals, turns to stone any items (months or years). Earlier, people were mortally afraid of his touch.





Who is the source of unusual properties drips full use souvenir merchants: they hang a water jet teddy bears and other items and then sell them to tourists, who appeared for the portion of mysticism. In theory, the waterfall can turn to stone and man, if he would be under his jets for a long time.

2. "Boiling" waterfall, Mexico The waterfalls are not only water, but also stone. In the Mexican state of Oaxaca has frozen waterfall Ierve el Agua, which translated from Spanish means "boiling water". These rock formations created by water, mountain springs, supersaturated with calcium carbonate. Over thousands of years, streams flowed from the rocks and freezes in the most bizarre shapes.

3. Waterfall on the contrary, the United Kingdom A year ago, in the county of Derbyshire in the UK was caught on video strange behavior "wrong" falls instead to fall by gravity, the water flew upward, forming a fountain of spray. The footage, instantly became a hit on YouTube, it shows how the 30-meter waterfall "flows" and squirted up.





This happened not because of the mystics, and under the influence of elements - powerful flow wind. "Waterfall in reverse" - the phenomenon is extremely rare, but it can be repeated: this requires a hurricane blowing in a certain direction.

4. Underwater waterfall, Mauritius One Flew Over the southwest coast of Mauritius, one can see a very unusual waterfall - underwater. Offshore flow rushes into the abyss of the ocean with a coral shoal - a beautiful sight can be seen even from a satellite. In fact, of course, not a waterfall, and the optical illusion created by nature itself. Accretions of mud and sand, and deep currents of the Indian Ocean off the coast of the peninsula of Le Morne Brabant create this stunning fraud, which I want to believe - the visibility underwater waterfall.

5. Fire Falls, USA Another amazing natural waterfall illusion associated with horse's tail, which is located in California's Yosemite National Park. In February days the flow of water resemble molten lava drained from the crater of the volcano. That is why the waterfall called the fire and is popular with photographers. The reason for the phenomenon is simple: at sunset the sun's rays stream of paint in bright orange colors.

6. Ice Falls, USA - Canada - Scandinavia Many waterfalls Sweden and Norway each winter turn the palaces of the Snow Queen: a bizarre conglomeration of ice and icicles, transparent and milky-white, yellow and covered with snow falling off the rocks solidified veil. And the beginning of this year has been so severe in North America that even a huge frozen Niagara Falls. Previously, such a miracle of nature can be seen in 1848 and 1912, in 2014 the waterfall froze partially.

7. Falls among polygons, Iceland The most unusual surrounding landscape boasts Litlanesfoss waterfall in Iceland. It is surrounded by basalt columns geometrically correct shape, causing an illusion of looking at the intervention of aliens who formed such a fabulous landscape. But in fact this is the result of the various forces of nature: sculptors of basaltic lava flows were water, local river, wind and sunlight.
