8 Weird and Mysterious Places on Earth
Try something else and travel the weirdest and most mysterious places on earth. The top 8:
1. The Bermuda Triangle - Area between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Miami where uncountable ships and planes have disappeared. Is it due to compass variations, gulf streams, rogue waves or human errors? No one knows...
2. Socotra - This archipelago the Horn of Africa has a weird and unique flora and fauna: one third of the flora and fauna on this island can be found only here. Like this umbrella-shaped "blood tree".
3. Mount Roraima - Located on the triple border point between Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela, this oddly shaped mountain is mysterious because of the clouds that are always near the peak and the unique fauna.
4. Rio Tinto - The river in south-western Spain is red because of the minerals can be found into the water, especially iron. However, the weirdness of this river comes from its high acidity, which made some scientists say that it is very similar to the underground waters of Mars.
5. Fly Geyser - The Fly Geyser, near Gerlach, Nevada, is strange because it somehow grows up. It is three meters high at the moment, but keeps growing.
6. McMurdo Dry Valleys - Dry Valleys are located on Antarctica but, believe it or not, they lack snow. That makes the area to be a desert, of course the coldest one in the world. The 'bleeding' is caused by liquids high in iron.
7. Easter Island - The well known statues on the Easter Island, the rapa nui, still remain mystery for the researchers. The statues are over 50 feet tall, but no one has a clue who built them, why they built them, how they were brought there, and so on.
8. Racetrack Playa - Racetrack Playa in California is well known due to its sailing stones. No one knows how, but the stones there somehow manage to move from their original position, leaving a track behind them.
