10 Most Beautiful Mountains In The World

The landscapes that can be found in the various lengths and breadths of the Earth are unique. Mountains, seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, valleys, ravines, mountain ranges. Whatever one chooses, the only sure thing is that our planet has a special beauty in every part of it.

Wild Junket Magazine has compiled a list of the most beautiful mountains from Antarctica to Alaska.

1. Ama Dablam, Nepal - Himalayas

The Himalayas include some of the most impressive mountain peaks in the world, nine of which are on the list of the 10 highest. The Ama Dablam peak may not be on the list of the 100 highest mountains, but it stands out for its wild beauty. Most mountains gradually rise into the sky, but Ama Dablam stands out sharply and demands the attention of anyone there.

2. Kirkjufell, Iceland

Kirkjufell is a masterpiece all year round. When the weather is hot, everything turns green and the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls create a fairy-tale setting. When it is cold the mountain turns white from the snow and the waterfall freezes. It is one of the most photographed places in Iceland.

3. Cerro Torre, Argentina and Chile

A very steep mountain, plagued by strong storms. Cerro Torre rises in Patagonia on the border of Argentina and Chile. Writer and climber Jon Krakauer described his experience with this mountain in his book "Into Thin Air": "I climbed a scary and very high, vertical, granite rock, which was" hit "by strong winds. "It used to be believed that it was the most difficult mountain in the world."

4. Huayna Picchu, Peru

The Incas were well aware of what they were doing when choosing the location for their famous city of Machu Picchu. Surrounded by lush mountains, Machu Picchu is a jewel of humanity in the majesty of Nature. The most impressive mountain in the area is Huayna Picchu, which "overlooks" the ancient city. Adventurous visitors to the area can climb to the top and enjoy the view of the famous Inca city from ... higher up.

5. The Specter, Antarctica

Few people have the opportunity to see up close the 1,500-mile-long mountains that cross Antarctica. Perhaps the most impressive peak is Specter, the central peak of a series of peaks called Organ Pipe Peaks. "I could not believe that a group of mountain peaks would be so impressive and perfect," wrote geologist Edmund Stump, who has visited Antarctica 13 times in 40 years.

6. Mauna Loa, Hawaii

Mauna Loa is not kidding. It is the largest volcano on Earth, and covers half of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is the 10th highest volcano in the solar system.

7. Matterhorn, Switzerland

The Matterhorn peak is located in the Swiss Alps. "For three days I could not see anything and suddenly through the blue sky I saw the most beautiful mountain I had ever seen in my life," said Andrew Evans of National Geographic.

8. Denali, Alaska

Mount Denali is the highest peak in the United States and North America at 6,194 meters. The nearby mountains show little ... The wildlife of the area is unique and includes glaciers, tundra and forests, while 39 mammals live there as well as grizzly bears.

9. Alpamayo, Peru

This icy pyramid is located in the Cordillera Blanca Mountains of Peru. Due to its unique shape and location it is a popular destination for climbers.

10. Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Italy

The stunning Dolomites (Dolomites Alps) in northeastern Italy include three massive rocks that protrude from the Earth's surface. They stand in a row like bowling alleys and are a favorite destination for climbers, cyclists and nature lovers.

 

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".

 

PLAIN OF JARS - Archaeological

 The Plain of Jars is dated to the Iron Age (500 BCE to 500 CE) and is one of the most fascinating and important sites for studying Southeast Asian prehistory. 

The Plain of Jars has the potential to shed light on the relationship between increasingly complex societies and megalithic structures and provide insight into social organisation…

DOOR TO HELL ON EARTH

 

About

• Derweze, Ahal Province, Turkmenistan

The "Door to Hell" (also known as the Gate to Hell, the Crater of Fire, Darvaza Crater) is a natural gas field in Derweze, Turkmenistan, that collapsed into an underground cavern in 1971, becoming a natural gas crater. Geologists set it on fire to prevent the spread of methane gas, and it has been burning continuously since then. The diameter of the crater is 69 metres (226 ft), and its depth is 30 metres (98 ft).

The crater is a popular tourist attraction. In the past five years 50,000 tourists have visited the site. The gas crater has a total area of 5,350 m2, the size of an American football field. The surrounding area is also popular for wild desert camping.

Geography:
The gas crater is located near the Derweze village. It is in the middle of the Karakum Desert, about 260 kilometres (160 mi) north of Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. The gas reserve found here is one of the largest in the World. The name "Door to Hell" was given to the field by the locals, referring to the fire, boiling mud, and orange flames in the large crater, which has a diameter of 70 metres (230 ft). The hot spots range over an area with a width of 60 metres (200 ft) and to a depth of about 20 metres (66 ft).

Effects on Future Development of Gas:
Fearing the further release of poisonous gases from the cavern, the engineers decided to burn it off. They thought that it would be safer to burn it than to extract it from underground through expensive methods. At that time, expectations were that the gas would burn out within a few weeks, but has continued to burn more than four decades after it was set on fire.

Strawberry Lake of Senegal

A Boat Floats On What Looks Like A Huge Strawberry Milk-Lake.

The Wooden Vessels Were Photographed From The Air Bobbing On Lake Retba, In Senegal.

From Above The Mass Of Water, Which Spans One Square Mile, Looks Staggeringly Similar To A Giant Milkshake.

Salt Lake Retba in Senegal is highlighted in an unusual color. Microbiologist Bernard Oliver found out the reason for such an unusual color.

The lake contains a microorganism Dunaliella salina, which absorbs the solar colors, highlights the pigment of strawberry-milky color. The bizarre colour is caused by high levels of salt – with some areas containing up to 40% of the condiment.

This organism does not prevent the local population to produce salt.

All salt is extracted by hand and transported to shore in the ordinary wooden boats.

They produce a red pigment that absorbs and uses the energy of sunlight to create more energy, turning the water pink.

“Lakes like Retba and the Dead Sea, which have high salt concentrations, were once thought to be incompatible with life – hence the names. But they are very much alive.”

Salt collectors can often be seen scouring the expanse to remove the valuable mineral – but first have to coat their skin with sheer butter.

This helps protect their skin from exposure to the intense salt levels in the three metre deep lake.

Salt crystals cling to the bodies of miners who work the lake everyday to extract its contents.

And towering piles of collected salt litter the shoreline. Villagers then process it before selling and using the valuable mineral.
