10 Most Strange Places in the World
The strangeness of these places is still a mystery until now.
Although unique and can be used as a fun tourist destination, some of the following places seem strange and are still a mystery to this day.
1. Spotted Lake - Canada
Spotted Lake is a lake that is highly respected by Okanagan, a local native and is considered a very sacred place. In summer, lake water evaporates and minerals will be left in the pond creating different colors every day.
This unique lake can be seen from Highway 3, northwest of the small city of Osoyoos. However, it is not recommended to set foot in this tribal area.
2. The Giant Causeaway - Northern Ireland
Starting from 60 million years ago when a volcano erupted and spewed very hot lava. Over time, the lava froze through a natural cooling process for years and created artistic cracks that appear to this day.
There are 37,000 gaps of polygons in this building and some legendary stories say these historic buildings were created by giants. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that justifies this assumption.
3. Thor Well - United States
In 'dangerous' conditions, the pressure of the waves at Thor Well will feel very strong. This condition can be seen from the Captain Cook Trail which is at the center of the Cape Perpetua Scenic visitor area. To maintain safety, keep each other's safety and avoid visiting Thor Well when a blizzard is engulfing.
4. Pamukkale - Turkey
One of the UNESCO world heritage sites in southwestern Turkey is also known by the name 'Cotton Building' which was formed from the ruins of the magnificent ancient city of Hierapolis around Pamukkale.
Puddles of natural spring under the Pamukkale building become the perfect spot to immerse yourself.
5. Lake Hillier - Western Australia
This lake was discovered in 1802 in the Recherche Islands, Western Australia. Some scientists say, this long pink lake is a combination of water and salt algae species known as Dunaliella Saline or pink bacteria.
6. Badab-e-Surt - Iran
This vast expanse of travertine fields in northern Iran is an extraordinary natural phenomenon that has been formed thousands of years ago. Travertine is a type of limestone that is formed from calcium in running water. The reddish color that comes from the high iron oxide content in one of the springs.
7. Tianzi Mountains - China
Located in Hunan Province, China. This mountain range is a unique limestone peak covered in greenery. Tianzi scenery is very beautiful and a special attraction for tourism in China.
8. Nasca Lines - Peru
Animal figures and geometric shapes carved with ancient Nasca in Peru are still one of the great unsolved mysteries. Seen from the air, the metals have a regular pattern of 200 meters long, each of which has a single continuity line.
9. Bermuda Triangle - North Atlantic Ocean
Extremely thick with myth and mystery, this 500,000 square mile area is also called the deadliest triangle between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico.
Although the United States strongly denies the issue, many conspiracy theories develop like ships and planes that disappear without a trace when passing through the place
10. Socotra Island - Yemen
Separated from mainland Africa 6 million years ago, this remote island looks like a setting in science-fiction films. Socotra has extraordinary and unique biodiversity, and cannot be found in other areas such as ancient dragon blood trees and round bottle trees.
