Amazing and Weirdest Wonders of the World

This article is about the amazing and weirdest wonders of the world. So let's start this article with number 10.

NUMBER 10: Thor’s Well

Thor’s Well is a formidable natural structure, located off the coast of Oregon. It is often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Underworld', because of its almost mythical appearance. Although Well is a popular tourist destination, local authorities warn people to be extra careful when visiting. The waves rush into the deep ravine and fill it with violence so that the water is forced more than 20 feet [6 m] into the air. With so many sharp rocks, bumps around the pit, and torrents of great violence, it is possible that if anyone had ever crossed it well, there would be no hope of rescuing him.

9: FLAMMABLE ICE BALLS

Trapped beneath On the surface of Lake Abraham in Alberta, Canada, there are thousands of frozen methane bubbles, forming a spectacular view. When living things, such as leaves and dead animals, fall into the lake, bacteria that live at the bottom are eaten. This process releases large methane bubbles and then rises to the surface and is trapped by ice at the top. This is a good story, but it is surprisingly dangerous. Methane is very hot so, when these bubbles explode, they do so with explosive force.

NUMBER 8: BLOOD FALL

This may seem like a special horror effect from a horror film, but Blood Falls in Antarctica is actually a completely natural phenomenon. Nearly two million years ago, the Antarctic ice sheet closed off a small pool of water. It had an ancient society of insects, no free oxygen, and very little heat. In time, the mass of salt and iron in the cistern turned red like blood. Now it sinks on the edge of the ice, ruining the red and white spot. What is most interesting about Blood Falls is is that its natural presence proves that life can survive even in the most difficult conditions on Earth.

NUMBER 7: CHAMPAGNE POOL

Built nearly 900 years ago the gigantic hydrothermal explosion, Champagne Pool in Waiotapu], New Zealand is so named because of the way carbon dioxide permeates, like a glass of sparkling wine. The lake is surrounded by a different orange rim, which is the result of a mixture of yellow minerals and the realgar of red minerals [Ree-all-gar] embedded in it. As tempting as it may seem, it can be dangerous to swim in Lake Champagne. The water temperature can reach 75 ° Cand a mixture of gases released at its depth can be dangerous.

NUMBER 6: EYE Sahara

Deep down in the Sahara Desert, there is a curiosity known as the 'Richat Structure' or 'Saharan Eye'. The surrounding, patterned rock has an impressive width of more than 30 miles [48 km]. It is visible in space and is even used by shuttle crews as a historical symbol to help them navigate. The eye is believed to have been caused by a meteorite impact. However, it is now thought to be the site of an ancient geologic structure that has already collapsed, eroded from this curiosity.

NUMBER 5: BLAKE HILLIER

Western Australia is home to a natural wonder, Lake Hillier, famous for its striking pink. It was first discovered by Europeans in 1802 by explorer Matthew Flinders, the lake is 600 feet [600 m] long. The pink color stays in the water even if you remove something from a different container. This means that the water itself is not the bed that produces the effect, as is first suspected. In fact, scientists have confirmed that the cause of this amazing phenomenon is the high salt content of the water associated with the species that live there. Lake Hillier is home to the salt-loving anacondas called Dunaliella salina [Dun-all-ee-all-ah sall-eye-na] and the pink fungus as halo bacterium, both of which contribute to lake sex.

NUMBER 4: GREAT GREEN PIT

Recognized by many as one of the best scraps on Earth, the Great Blue Hole is a strange, almost underwater circle. It is located about 40 miles [70 km] off the coast of Belize and is the largest ever found. Archaeologists believe that the cave began as an almond-shaped cave some 150,000 years ago. At the end of the ice age, the rising water filled the cave and fell, leaving this wonderful moment. It is 300 meters wide and 124 meters deep, three times the depth at which a typical scuba diver will swim. Divers are enticed into this unique area by its crystal clear waters and the amazing variety of sea creatures that live in the crater, from shark nurses to angelfish.

NUMBER 3: IVAADHOO ISLAND

Vaadhooo Island in the Maldives is famous for its impressive ‘sea of stars’. As the waves crash on the island's beaches in the light of the moon, they appear shiny and glistening, as if there were hundreds of stars in the water itself. Harvard University researchers have been able to pinpoint the cause of these mysterious glistening waves, which are caused by the presence of water in the phytoplankton species, called dinoflagellates. There is a special channel in the dinoflagellate cell membrane that responds to electrical signals, causing them to glow in the moonlight.

NUMBER 2: HIERVE EL AGUA

Hierve el Agua is a spectacular natural spectacle that looks like a terrifying waterfall, descending to the side of a 50-foot [50 m] high mountain. Located in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, this information is composed of tiny droplets of water that leave mineral deposits, forming a beautiful waterfall over thousands of years. This process is similar to what builds Crystalactites in caves. Hierve el Agua has become a densely populated area, with tourists swimming in small natural ponds around the cliff's face.

NUMBER 1: DOOR TO HELL

Also known as the Crater of Fire, or DarvazaCrater, the ‘Door To Hell’ is a natural gas resort in Derweze, Turkmenistan, which - unbelievably - has been burning continuously for more than 45 years. Measuring 69 feet [69 m] wide and 30 feet [30 m] deep, a huge hole first appeared in 1971, when Soviet engineers accidentally dug oil and caused landslides. To prevent the release of toxic gases inside the shaft, scientists decided to burn the gas, mistakenly expecting the fire to be extinguished within a few weeks. Since there are no signs of death at any time, no one knows how long the fire may last.
