Berca Mud Volcanoes in Romania

 

Berca Mud Volcanoes in Romania are a Rare and Impressive Geological Phenomenon. 

Gases that come from a depth of 3000 meters and move to the Surface, pass through the Underground Layers of Clay and Water and carry to the Surface Salt Water 

and Mud that overflows from the mouths of Volcanoes. 

Natural Gas is Emerging as Bubbles giving the Impression of a Boiling Mud.

The Mud dries on the Surface creating a Stable Conical Structure that looks like a Real Volcano. 

Mud Volcanoes create a Strange Lunar Landscape due to the absence of Vegetation around the Cones. 

Vegetation is Rare because the Emerging Water is Salty and in such conditions only a few Plants can Survive. 

However these conditions are ideal for Some Rare Plant Species, 

such as Nitraria Schoberi and Obione Verrucifera.

Er Wong Dong Cave China - A Natural Wonder

A Huge Cave with its Own Weather System was discovered by Photographers and Speleologists in China talking about one of the wonders of nature .

Surprised, they began to observe the interior of the Cave in Chongqing Province, where dense clouds gave a romantic style to the atmosphere, although they made the work of speleologists difficult. Tropical vegetation on rocks, frogs and waterfalls with turquoise waters left explorers speechless.

The weather conditions inside the cave have nothing to do with the external environment where there is drought. The "Er Wang Dong" cave was an enigma for experts who use ropes to go down to the cave and admire its unknown world up close.

Manchester photographer and speleologist Robbie Shawn is one of 15 explorers who spent an entire month observing the weather system.

"All the main passages of the cave are deep, underground and have never seen the light of day. In some openings of the cave, we had the opportunity to swim in the turquoise waters that resemble a pool," he told the British newspaper "Telegraph".

 

5 Strangest Beaches of the World

5 Strangest Beaches of the World

Punalu'u Beach

Punalu'u Beach is the most visited of the few black sand beaches on Hawaii's Big Island and the stunningly black sand is actually volcanic rock, deposited as lava and subsequently cooled when met by the ocean. Apparently to take any of the sand home would result in you being cursed by a volcano goddess by the name of Pele.

 

Papakolea Beach

One of only 2 green sand beaches in the world, the truly magnificent sight of Papakolea Beach can be experienced by travelling to Hawaii's Ka'u district. Again, the unique colour of its sand can be attributed to volcanic activity - specifically, the green hue belongs to the abundance of olivine crystals which have been produced as a result of a nearby cinder cone erupting and eroding.

 

 

 

Hyams Beach

You may need to wear your shades when visiting Hyams Beach in New South Wales, Australia, but not just due to the sun. It's not surprising after looking at photos but this sublime stretch of beach is home to the whitest sand in the world, an honour awarded by the Guinness Book of Records

 

 

Pfeiffer Beach

The hills surrounding Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California, are rich in Manganese Garnet. A result of this being washed down onto the beach is the colour scheme you can see above - the entire stretch of sand has become a shifting, pink and purple canvas. Although it's probably inedible, I can't help picturing a bowl of Raspberry Ripple ice-cream every time I see it.

 

 

 

Kaihalulu

You won't find many beaches elsewhere in the world with sand as red as this one. Kaihalulu, or Red Sand Beach, is situated on the island of Maui and can thank the neighbouring cindercone hill for its intensely deep red appearance.

 

 

Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley

Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley

Sailing Stones also known as Sliding Rocks or Moving Rocks are a Geological Phenomenon where Rocks move in Long Tracks along a Smooth Valley Floor without Human or Animal Intervention.

 
They have been recorded and studied in a number of Places around Racetrack Plaza, Death Valley, where the Number and Length of Travel Grooves are Notable. 

 
The Force behind their Movement is not Understood and is subject to Research.
