There are many incredible things happening in nature, some of which have been explained scientifically, some of which have puzzled scientists for years, or have become permanent mysteries. But no matter what, we will always explore and discover that the world is so wonderful.
Today, the editor has compiled 48 incredible and amazing natural phenomena!
Canadian Light Pillar
This incredible phenomenon occurs when ice crystals are suspended in the air due to extremely cold conditions. The crystal then reacts with every source of light around it to create this stunning sight.
Lenticular clouds
The formation of lenticular clouds is amazing, especially when they hang over the crater of Mayon!
Maldives Bioluminescent Coast
It is the bioluminescent phytoplankton that create this starry sky coast.
Moon Bay, Hawaii
Often referred to as moon rainbows, they differ from regular rainbows in that they are produced by the moon's beam rather than the sun.
Rainbow eucalyptus
Probably the only reason this tree exists is to be a living work of art!
glory
Similar to the fire rainbow, halos require the correct alignment of ice crystals to form in clouds above the Earth's surface in order to perfectly bend sunlight into a ring.
Bismuth crystals
Bismuth is a solid, high-gloss gray metal
Glowworm caves in New Zeeland
Most of these caves are in Australia and New Zealand, although there is also a famous cave in Alabama. The most famous is the Waitomo Caves in New Zealand, which was formed more than 30 million years ago.
Northern Lights in Iceland
Although the Northern Lights may seem like pure magic, they actually appear when charged particles from the sun react with atoms in the upper atmosphere. Expect it to be seen on cold nights!
Bolivian Sky Mirror
This is the Salar de Uyuni – the largest salt marsh in the world. The view there is quite surreal!
Sakurajima dirty thunderstorm, Japan
The skurashima volcano spews fire and ash, which is truly breathtaking.
Desert Rose
This is a rose-like gypsum mineral that grows in arid and sandy areas where periodic flooding occurs. Gypsum crystals can grow between sand grains and capture them due to transitions between wet and dry conditions.
Ring horizontal arc
When sunlight or moonlight is refracted by air ice crystals, an ice halo that simulates a rainbow is created.
Frozen Ice Bubbles, Canada
These bubbles are created by the emission of combustible methane gas. The bubbles froze in the ice and we got these incredible patterns!
Chilean marble caves
Few people will see these beautiful views! These incredible caves and walls took about 6,000 years to form, and it was the waves that washed them into these stunning shapes.
Lake Hillier, Australia
This natural phenomenon of the lake is caused by the high salt content of the water and the energy released by the microalgae "Dunaliella salt algae".
Landforms of Danxia, China
Minerals are magical, and so are colors. Check out this place! It's like Pantone burst here!
Arizona sandstone wave
The "waves" feature crossed sandstones that have been transformed into rocks that were formerly Arizona sand dunes dating back 190 million years. Sand dunes grow horizontally; Over time, moderate erosion brought on by wind and rain shows their wave-like appearance.
The Great Blue Hole in Belize City
The almost perfect deep blue sphere, formed during the last ice age with much lower sea levels, is a diver's paradise. Naturally, as sea levels rise, the hole becomes an even more endless crack.
The blue volcano of Indonesia
While it looks absolutely otherworldly, the volcano is absolutely real! It has this color because it contains a lot of sulfuric acid gas – it emits blue light once it comes into contact with air.
Route of the Irish Giant
Although these hexagonal boulders may seem man-made, they are definitely a masterpiece of nature!
Breast clouds
This magical cloud structure is a beautiful landscape that is usually seen after a tornado.
Socotra dragon tree, Yemen
They probably remember dinosaurs! In addition, according to legend, these trees shed dragon's blood when they are cut down.
Underwater rivers of Mexico
An underwater river is formed when fresh upper water meets exposed saline groundwater. Different density levels in the two bodies of water cause them to stratify. The result is an amazing fusion of the two habitats.
Eternal Flame Falls
It's not entirely natural, a small waterfall in upstate New York near the Canadian border: there's an eight-inch tall flame. A gas leak fueled the flames behind the waterfall. Hikers will rekindle it if they notice it's blown out, but it's protected enough by the waterfall to maintain fairly steady lighting.
Venezuelan Catatumbo Lightning
A few kilometers above the confluence of the Catatumbo River and Lake Maracaibo, hot and cold air currents combine to electrify the place.
Canadian Spotted Lake
The numerous colorful lakes of this landscape are simply the result of a high concentration of minerals in the water. Of course, as a result, it's considered the most amazing place in Canada, and we can't argue with that!
Knife Forest, Madagascar
Yes, you'll have to pay a high price to risk dealing with this huge limestone formation, aptly known as the Forest of Blades!
Flowering desert, South America
The blooming desert is truly breathtaking!
Waterfall holes
Although not a hole in the sky, it definitely looks like it! When the water temperature in the cloud has not yet dropped to freezing due to the nucleation of ice, a waterfall-like hole is formed.
Australian morning glory cloud
Morning glory clouds are a very rare phenomenon, but since we are talking about Australia, the situation there is different. So, if you've ever been in the Gulf of Carpentaria, you can often observe these awesome clouds!
Kjeragbolten Boulder, Norway
The boulder, known as Kjeragbolten, was in trouble. Norway's glaciers alternately melt and overflow, causing this natural phenomenon to run aground. Nevertheless, it has become a favorite hike for adventure lovers. You can climb more than 1,000 meters with Kjeragbolten boulders.
American Nautical Stone
In fact, these are stones, they do move! However, this is not mysterious – these rocks are wrapped in ice and, when partially immersed in water, move due to natural buoyancy.
Plautritography
Polar stratospheric ice clouds, or pearl clouds, occur mainly at high latitudes and usually occur when temperatures drop below freezing. Frozen or not, this is something we want to see at least once in our lives!
Frost flowers
These frost flowers are created by the sudden drop in temperature, and for us, they are like the embodiment of poetry! (Well, except for horses, running water and fire)
Eye of the Sahara in Africa
Do you feel someone looking at you from above? The Eye of the Sahara is a natural work of art, created by the era of volcanic eruptions and erosions.
Columbia River of Five Colors
This is not an illusion caused by rocks at the bottom of the river, this is really the color of water!
Bailey's hair lava, Hava
Small droplets of lava from volcanic eruptions can be caught by the wind and stretched into essentially long, thin filaments of glass. These hair-like hairs, often referred to as Bailey's hair, can stretch up to 6 feet. This phenomenon is known as witch's hair in Norway, and is also present in Hawaii and named after the volcano goddess Bailey.
Blood Falls
An underground lake supplies water to Blood Falls, located in one of the driest regions of Antarctica. Because these bacteria use sulfates as fuel, not sugar, experts are interested in studying and understanding them.
Moraki Boulder of New Zealand
As if New Zealand wasn't stunning enough, it still has these cool stones!
Ice caves in Iceland
As if Iceland isn't the most beautiful and mysterious place on earth, they also have these awesome, ancient ice caves.
Volcanic lightning
This is due to the accumulation of too much friction in the ash from volcanic eruptions, which creates static electricity.
Turquoise ice crystal, Russia
When the temperature fluctuates, the thick snow shell shines with the most beautiful colors.
Snow chimneys in Antarctica
This amazing snow column is the result of heat inside the volcano fighting the cold outside. Only in Antarctica!
Crater of the Darvaza volcano in Turkmenistan
This is nothing more than a botched attempt by scientists to stop dormant oil fields from releasing methane gas. It has been burning continuously for more than 48 years now!
Striped icebergs, Antarctica
Thrilling striped icebergs!
Waterspout
If you see this ominous sight outside the window, hurry up and hide! This is a clear sign that a tornado is coming.
It's not easy to sort out, if you like it, support it!
