1. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Salar de Uyuni is the largest salt marsh in the world. This is a dried-up salt lake with an area of more than ten square kilometers. Salt on the lake lies in a layer of two, and in some places eight meters. After the rain, the illusion of the world's largest mirror surface is created.
2. Mountains of Zhangjiajie, China
Giant rock pillars of the Zhangjiajie mountains rise near the Chinese province of Hunan. Geologists say that earlier it was a huge sandstone. Then the element took away most of the sand, leaving the lonely pillars to stone and remind with its majesty the strength of mother nature. It is said that James Cameron "painted" these mountains in his film "Avatar".
3. Dead Valley, Namibia
No, no, this is not a picture of some surrealist artist, these are real photos of Deadvlei, or as it is also called Dead Valley (Dead Valley). Perhaps the deadly heat burned all the vegetation and living creatures, and in this place there was once a green and blooming forest. But now here is the most desert and part-time place of unreal beauty.
4. Sea of stars, Vaadhu, Maldives
As soon as the sun sets on the island of Vaadhoo, a truly fabulous night begins. After all, even the sea is strewn with stars ... Science calls this phenomenon phytoplankton. And yet, getting here, inadvertently you will begin to believe in miracles and a fairy tale ...
5. Santorini, Greece
Who would have thought that an island created in the 16th century as a result of a volcanic eruption could become one of the most beautiful places on Earth? This is exactly what Santorini is and the Greeks are very proud of it.
6. Red Beach, Panjin, China
Red Beach is located near Panjin on the Liaohe River. It got its name thanks to the rich red algae that cover the entire coastal zone.
No one will argue, this is truly a fabulous place.
7. Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA
This name was given to the real canyon because of the unique color of its walls. It was this association among the discoverers of this miracle of nature that caused the red-red color of the walls - an association with the skin of an antelope. The play of light and shadow is “helped” by the bizarre shape of the canyon rocks, which has become the subject of posing for thousands of professional and amateur cameras.
8. Wilhelmstein, Germany
This strange island on Lake Steinhude called Wilhelmstein was artificially created in the 18th century by Count Wilhelm for defensive reasons. Then the fishermen in their boats delivered stones for its foundation. Initially, there were 16 islands, then they were connected. The count’s idea was successful and the island successfully held the defense. Later, a military college was created on its territory. Today, Wilhelmstein is an island-museum that attracts tourists with its history, as well as its unusual shape for the island.
9. Road to Heaven, Huashan Mountain, China
Fans of extreme sports are simply obliged to visit the most dangerous mountain trail in the world.
The road to heaven, the Path of death - it is called differently, but not one name can convey all the fear that it inspires.
