A
Mother Nature never fails to surprise us with something extraordinary and unusual from time to time. There will always be news about something completely different that will surely grab eyeballs.
Blood Falls( Antarctica )
As the name suggests, Blood Falls is a waterfall which shoots blood-red water into a river. The sight is a perfect backdrop for a horror film: mysterious and of course bloody. Previously, red algae(红藻) were believed to cause the water to change its colour and turn blood-red. Until 2017, the true origin of the so-called blood was revealed to be oxidized iron in saltwater.
Frozen Bubbles( Canada )
Impressive yet a dangerous sight, frozen bubbles(气泡) can be seen in winters at Abraham Lake in Canada. The phenomenon occurs when methane ( 甲 烷 ) gas gets trapped underwater, freezes, and forms otherworldly visuals. Such a large amount of methane trapped is highly risky. So even a lit match nearby can cause a giant explosion.
Hidden Beach( Mexico )
Located only a few miles off Mexico's coast, the hidden beach was caused by an explosion by the Mexican Government as part of target practice. The beach is now every lover's dream destination. To get there, you must ride an hour-long boat. Once you land on the island, you have to travel through the waters to reach there.
Sky Mirror ( Malaysia )
During the new moon and full moon periods, tourists can see a clear refection of the sky in the waters of Sasaran Beach. This natural phenomenon occurs because the tides are the lowest during these days. The smooth sand and minimal water level create such an incredible sight. Also known as the “Mirror of the Sky”, this shallow water beach is an amazing place to click pictures and thus a perfect travel destination.
