The places are strange like other planets

These are eerily different places, as if they were from another world.

1. Bermuda Triangle Triangle

The term Bermuda Triangle Triangle was placed in 1964 by a writer named Vincent Gaddis.

Bermuda's Triangle Triangle is the sea area located in the western Atlantic Ocean. The area is famous throughout the world by a series of mysterious disappearances of ships and planes in regional operations. Disappear with them are sailors and crew, making the mystery of this area become more mysterious with spooky colors.

The term Bermuda Triangle Triangle was placed in 1964 by a writer named Vincent Gaddis. However, it must be more than a decade later, the Bermuda Triangle Triangle officially became the international term used to refer to the sea with limits from Bermuda in the north, the American city of Miami in the west - South Puerto Rico and the island of America.

Up to the present time, a series of hypotheses have been set about the bizarre disappearance of boats and planes back and forth in this bizarre location but still cannot determine the exact cause of the mass. incident. Therefore, the Bermuda Triangle Triangle is becoming more and more popular and becomes the subject of endless exploitation of newspapers, movies and literature.

2. The hundred-degree Shanay-Timpishka river

The exotic Shanay-Timpishka river means "seething with the heat of the sun" . It has been known for centuries by indigenous communities living in the Amazon, but never on the map. They believe that the source of hot water is erupted from the snake god Yacumama - mother Nuoc, who is symbolized by a snake-shaped rock upstream of the river.

The temperature here is hot enough to make anyone touch even for a few seconds will suffer a level 3 burn.

The river is about 25m wide and 6m deep, but only 6.4km long. Shanay-Timpishka has such a hot temperature that any animal accidentally touched is immediately cooked. Specific figures measure up to 91 degrees Celsius, and scientists still can't understand why this phenomenon can happen. Normally, high temperature water sources are affected by nearby volcanoes, but Shanay-Timpishka is 700km away from the nearest related location. The temperature here is hot enough to make anyone touch even for a few seconds will suffer a level 3 burn.

A big question is where the heat of the river comes from. According to Andrés Ruzo, Peru's national geological physicist, who first noticed the river in boiling water in 2011: "From the chemical analysis, he pointed out that the river water comes from the rain. falling down, it is likely that rainwater penetrates deep into the earth, where it is heated by the Earth's geothermal heat, before flowing into the Amazon forest. In other words, the river is part of the giant hydrothermal system. ".

Besides, there is also a hypothesis: Boiling water is caused by temperature from underground cracks below the geological surface, making the river a special and difficult geothermal system. understand.

3. Blood waterfall - Antarctica

Antarctic pioneers first claimed that red was due to red algae.

McMurdo dry valley in Antarctica is one of the harshest places in the world. Nothing can exist in this cold and extremely cold temperature.

However, the phenomenon of a red blood liquid flowing from the glacier Taylor into Lake Bonney has surprised everyone.

Antarctic pioneers first claimed that red was due to red algae, but it was later proved to be only due to the presence of iron oxide. Scientists have discovered the entire blood cascade is an ecosystem of ancient bacteria trapped through millennia underground, without nutrients that nourish them from the outside world. Analysis of water samples including chemicals and microorganisms, scientists confirmed this is the ecosystem of rare autotrophic bacteria under the surface of the glacier.

4. All petrified water wells - English

Well water is found to contain very high mineral concentrations.

This strange well is located on the banks of the Nidd River, near Knaresborough town in North Yorkshire (England). It is a place to receive water flowing down from a rocky outcrop that looks like a smiling skull, and scary that everything you put down in the water is . turned into stone.

After decades, locals believed that the well was possessed by demons. Many people are curious to put ordinary objects near the water to witness the incredible transformation for a few weeks. Some of the relics we can still see today, such as the top hat from the Victorian era or the peculiar hat of the 80s, both objects were solid rock. Recently people put stuffed bears, kettles and bicycles into the well, the same result.

The oldest documents mentioning this well were written by John Leyland, Henry VIII archaeologist. In 1538, he recorded: people believe that this well is capable of miraculous healing, long bathing in well water can contain many diseases.

Today scientists have come to analyze well water samples and remove ghostly myths about it.Well water is found to contain very high mineral concentrations. Objects that have been covered for a long time by well water will form a thick, hard mineral layer outside, making them petrify.

5. The continent disappeared Atlantis

Atlantis was first known by Plato's record (428 BC - 348 BC).

Where the Atlantis continent is one of the greatest mysteries of human history. Despite being mentioned quite a lot in myths and epic stories, no trace of Atlantis is found to raise doubts about the continent's existence. Atlantis was first known by Plato's record (428 BC - 348 BC) - one of the greatest Greek sages in history.

Accordingly, Atlantis is a legendary island - a naval power located in "in front of Hercules's Sky Towers" mentioned in the 360 ​​BC dialogue. The island's navy once conquered many lands in Western Europe and Africa during the period of 9,600 BC. However, shortly after the failed invasion of Athens, Atlantis sank into the ocean in an "unfortunate day and night".

However, a series of modern studies confirm, the existence and disappearance of Atlantis is irrational. In fact, the continents have moved but it took tens of millions of years to recognize. For that reason, it is not possible in just one night that the island where the city flourishes can disappear without trace under the ocean.

Although scientific conclusions about Atlantis have been made, many people still believe in the existence of this continent. Even based on the Atlantic seabed satellite image, some people claimed to have found traces of Atlantis. Almost immediately, these statements received the attention of the world.

6. Where the most violent storms in the world - Venezuela

The place where the Catatumbo river meets the Maracaibo lake in Venezuela is the unique place in the world with the number of rainy days up to 260 days per year, and the rate of lightning strikes reach a record with 28 sparks fired down every minute. There are many hypothetical hypotheses about this supernatural phenomenon such as: because strong winds blow through the lake to form clouds as they stumble into the Andes. Other hypotheses attribute it to marshes emitting methane.

Catatumbo is the place to recognize the most number and frequency of lightning strikes in the world.

Catatumbo lightning is a special atmospheric phenomenon in Venezuela. It occurs only at the mouth of the Catatumbo River - the area that flows into Maracaibo Lake, Zulia State, northwest of the country. This is where the number and frequency of lightning strikes are highest in the world. Catatumbo lightning originates from big storm clouds at altitudes above 5,000m.

Local people knew of Lightning Catatumbo many centuries ago. They called this phenomenon "rib a-three " or "fire river" and considered it a sign of the gods. In the colonial period of the Caribbean, sailors used light from lightning like a navigation lighthouse.

However, no one found the exact cause of this phenomenon. Until recently, some assumptions were made, one of which involved the underlying geologic rock beds containing many uranium , although the accuracy was still uncertain. In addition, there is another possibility that is more likely, the complex operating mechanisms of different hot and cold air streams and water vapor in the air.

Lightning Catatumbo was included in the Guinness Book of World Records this year, usurping the "place with the most lightning strikes in the world" with 250 lightning strikes on every 2 km per year, from the town of Kifuka of Congo.

7. Kawah Ijen volcano is green lava - Indonesia

Picture 7 of The places are strange like other planets
The lava of this place has a iridescent blue color that cannot be obtained.

In 2015, the volcano of Kawah Ijen in Indonesia erupted a blue lava flow like electric currents. This is a series of conical volcanoes in the east of Java island, the mouth of the mountain is about 22km in diameter. Mount Gunung Merapi, which means "mountain of fire" , is the highest peak of this mountain range.

Kawah Ijen's eruption lava is truly unique in the world, particularly at night. The lava of this mountain is practically no different from other areas of adhesion, spreading speed and high temperature. However, in Kawah Ijen, the heat emitted from the lava burned another substance, sulfur in the ravines and from the rocks. Therefore, the lava of this place has a iridescent green color that cannot be obtained. Not only that, the large amount of sulfur on fire has created 5m high pillars of fire.

That is also the reason why the atmosphere here is quite poisonous and everyone approaching must wear protective masks. Even so, the workers here still have to work close to that atmosphere, day and night influenced by them.

8. Hot spring flying - Nevada, USA

Located in the middle of Lahotan lake (in the Black Desert, Nevada, USA) are bizarre and beautiful underground waterways called Fly.

With special colors created by minerals, seaweed and cyanobacteriae (bacteria are green and blue), the landscape here surprised visitors like walking on the surface of Mars.

This strange water fountain is located right next to the edge of the lake, with a height of 1.5m and about 3.6m if including the height of the bottom of the soil. In 1916, the owner of a private farm drilled a well in the hope that the desert would turn into fertile grassland, he accidentally drilled a geothermal bag. Therefore, this geyser was born.

Picture 8 of The places are strange like other planets
Water from this geyser is pushed upward continuously.

But the water circuit formed at that time is not the same as the vein now. It is just a single tap and quite small. Around the 1960s, the vein found another weakness of the earth's crust and from then on, another completely natural stream of springs was born and exists to this day. This time, the pressure of the water has not only created a nozzle but also many taps in many places on the new structure. Powerful jets of water now spray in different directions, contributing to its monstrous appearance.

The old water is no longer spraying. It is thought that, in some way, the old water circuit was "eradicated" by the new circuit, or maybe it was simply waiting for the right time to "revive" . Since the 1960s, this geyser has grown significantly and has the shape of a full-color structure as it is now. It is on a "platform " made of mud and dirt.

Below is a small pond with its own ecosystem. Water circuit coverage is a thermophilic algae - a species of heat-resistant microorganisms that thrives in hot environments.

Water from this geyser is pushed upward continuously. The tap can spray up to 2m high into the air.

The blend of various minerals including sulfur reacted with oxygen in the air, giving the water a vivid color.

Although there are many organizations that intend to buy this land and open the water circuit to the public as an official destination, the owner of the place still resolutely refused. The land is still privatized thoroughly with the enclosing fence. Tourists who visit must have permission to visit.
