With this strange beauty, this place has become one of the world’s famous tourist destinations.
According to research by scientists, the colors of the lands in Seven Colored Earth are formed from the decomposition of volcanic rocks. Over time, they erode into grooves, then hydrolyze and turn into ferralitic soil. However, there is one puzzling thing that geologists cannot explain: no matter how much rain or wind, this place does not lose color. What’s even more special is that even if you intentionally mix up the sand here, they will rearrange their color order.

The country of Mexico is proud of its famous beautiful landscapes such as the Canyon River, Copper Canyon, Baja California underwater caves… Not only that, Mexico is also known for Naica, the world’s largest crystal cave located next to the mine complex in Chihuahua city. The Naica mine was accidentally discovered in 2000 by a pair of miners, Eloy and Javier Delgado. Other caves are also found in the surrounding area such as the Ice Palace, Cave of Swords, Queen’s Eye and Candles. In a specific temperature and humidity environment, underground minerals here turn into sparkling crystals.
This incident was considered a major discovery at that time in Chihuahua, Mexico. Naica became the cave containing the largest number of natural crystals ever found in the world. At a depth of 300m below ground, Naica Cave is an incredible natural wonder, of special scientific value. The water level inside the cave is high, helping to protect the crystals from atmospheric damage.
This giant cave is not only impressive with its giant CaSo4 columns, but it is also very dangerous for those who want to see or research, because the temperature often reaches over 50 degrees Celsius and humidity ranges from 90 – 100 %. These conditions of the cave make the research process for scientists very difficult.
4. Ice waves, Antarctica
During the summer months when the temperature drops in Antarctica, many ice blocks melt and in the process some trapped air bubbles and compressed snow and ice rush upward and escape, forming a layer of white ice like corrugated foam on the outside. The reason the inside of these ice floes is blue is because when light passes through a thick layer of ice, only red light is absorbed and blue light is not, so it reflects back to the human eye as blue like sea water.
Beautiful photos capturing frozen waves over 15 meters high in Antarctica make anyone wonder if the tsunami was frozen by the cold air here. However, according to some discussions and debates of the world community, the above phenomenon is due to the reaction of blue ice in this area. These frozen blue “waves” are thought to be formed by compressed snow and ice and trapped air bubbles that have forced their way upward as they melt in the summer, forming a foamy white layer of ice. waves on the outside.

6. Lake Natron: Unveiling the Mystique of One of the The Strangest Natural Wonders in the World
When it comes to traveling to Africa, the name that is mentioned most often is still Tanzania. As a country located in East Africa, Tanzania possesses 3 majestic high volcanoes, fertile plateaus, forests and extremely rich wildlife. Not only does it have a unique and beautiful natural landscape, Tanzania is also famous for the death lake Natron that terrifies all animals. Natron is no different from a death lake on earth when creatures that set foot here are turned to stone in an extremely mysterious way. The cause of this rare phenomenon is that the alkalinity concentration in the lake is so high that it causes unlucky animals to stumble and fall into the lake to decompose and calcify.
When the lake water level lowered, the bodies of unfortunate animals drifted to shore, covered with a thick layer of salt. Lake Natron has a large and bright lake surface like a mirror, so it is not difficult to imagine why these unfortunate animals slipped and fell into the lake.
The origin of the phenomenon of Lake Natron containing excessively high alkalinity is due to the one million year old volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai in the south of Lake Natron. Lava from this majestic volcano flows down carrying a special amount of mineral salts that are different from the salts found in regular seawater. Since then, this amount of mineral salts has remained in the lake, accumulating over the years, causing the lake to become more and more alkaline.
The carcasses of animals that fell into the lake are so well preserved that their living forms are still preserved, encased in thick layers of salt cement. All living creatures, once submerged in the lake, will decompose in a very short time, so their corpses still retain the same shape as when they were alive. These “limestone statues” are perfectly preserved down to every detail. If you scratch the beak of a bat many months after falling into Lake Natron, you can still see the bat’s small tongue still intact. and each hair is still clearly visible on the body.
