Top 10 weird places that challenge scientists' ability to explain

Today, the existence of the following places is still a mystery that causes headaches for scientists.

Mysterious places on Earth that scientists have not been able to explain

1. The river boils everything

The river evaporated because of the high temperature.

The Shanay Timpishka River is 4 miles long and deep in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest, has a strange feature that no other river in the world has, that is, the temperature reaches 91 degrees Celsius. The heat makes it a 'river of death', any animal that accidentally falls into it will be boiled. Scientists have stepped in to find out the cause, but there are still no results. Normally, hot water sources are located near volcanoes, but Shanay-Timpishka is different, the nearest volcano is about 700 km away.

One theory put forward by the scientists is that the heat from the subterranean cracks turned the river into a peculiar and puzzling geothermal system.

2. Cave containing sulfur gas

Strange creatures that live on sulfur bubbles.

A group of workers discovered a Movile cave while searching for a site to build a power plant in southeastern Romania. This cave has an extremely toxic atmosphere, the CO2 content is 100 times higher than on the ground and is filled with H2S gas. Deep inside the cave there is a sulfuric lake that smells like rotten eggs. According to scientists, this cave is isolated and isolated from sunlight for 5.5 million years. The most special feature is that there is an ecosystem that exists in it for many years. There are 33 species discovered here, which survive by receiving nutrients from a type of air bubbles that form on the surface of the stones.

3. Water wells make things petrify

The teddy bear is hung under the water, gradually forming a mineral layer around it.

Everything you put in the water in the well will strangely turn to stone. The "miracle" well thought only in fairy tales appeared in Knaresborough, north Yorkshire (England). This well is the place to receive water flowing down from the cliff that looks like a smiling skull. The petrification process takes about 3 to 5 months. Everything from teddy bears to bicycles soaked in wells are turned into sculptures.

Locals believe that this bizarre well is cursed by a witch. As scientists explain, the water in the well contains many times higher mineral content than normal, creating a special mineral shell for all objects in contact. This is similar to how stalactites are created in a cave.

4. Deadly radioactive lake

The radioactive lake can kill people in an hour.

Lake Karachay (Russia) is known as the "dead lake" because of its higher radioactive concentration than anywhere in the world. It used to be the remains of a nuclear plant. An average person just needs to stand near Lake Karachay for an hour to be able to die. In 1957, the explosion at this nuclear plant spread radiation over an area of ​​more than 23,000 square kilometers around. By 1967, the water had evaporated and the fallout had been blown away for another 1,450 km. To limit other risks that may occur in the future, people have poured concrete for the lake, but the level of toxicity is still very high.

5. Aquarium on the ground

Snow melts the park into a large lake.

In Austria, near the Hochschwab mountain range is the Grüner See park known for its beautiful walking trails and fresh morning air. But when spring comes, you'll need a wetsuit instead of a climbing suit when the whole park is flooded. In winter, the park is covered with a very thick layer of snow. In the spring, they melt, causing the water level in the lake to rise and engulf everything, from chairs and bridges to flowers and trees. Some time after the water receded, everything returned to normal.

6. Casorzo compound

Cherry tree and mulberry tree symbiotic.

In the Piedmont countryside of Italy, a cherry tree grows and grows directly on top of a mulberry tree. Theoretically, it is normal to parasitize other plants in the wild, but they are all small and short-lived trees. As for the Cazorzo compound, both the parasite and the host plant are healthy and coexist in parallel. No one knows their origin. One theory is that the birds dropped a cherry seed onto the top of the mulberry tree, which germinated and developed into a tree. After the process of growing and taking root through the gaps in the stem of the mulberry tree, the cherry tree has found an underground source of nutrients to grow.

7. Marcaibo - endless lightning storm area

Lightning sea in western Venezuela with 28 flashes per minute.

A lightning storm appears continuously and non-stop over the Catatumbo River, western Venezuela. For about 260 nights a year, starting at 7 p.m., lightning strikes here for the next 10 hours at a frequency of 28 flashes per minute.

For many years, no one could come up with a reasonable explanation for this strange case. Recently, some scientists have hypothesized that the geological bedrock beneath this area contains a lot of uranium, but they have not been able to prove it. According to another theory, the complex mechanism of action of different hot and cold air currents and water vapor in the air caused this phenomenon.

8. Blue Lake in Hokkaido

At this angle, the lake water turns green.

But at another angle, the lake turns blue.

The color of the lake is darker green on a blizzard day.

The lake on the island of Hokkaido is a unique tourist destination in the world. The water in the lake has different colors when viewed from different angles. Specifically, the water color varies between two shades of green and blue according to the time of year. This particular lake is a man-made product built to hold water for a dam. But the change in color of the water was a surprise to its creators. According to the scientists, the aluminum OH- molecules dissolved in the lake reflect more blue light than usual.

9. Pennsylvania Bells

The rocks resonate sound.

These rocks appear strangely on a meadow at the top of a hill in Pennsylvania (USA). The reason they appeared is a mystery, as there are not any high ledges around, and they cannot fall from somewhere. The jingle like the sound of musical instruments that they emit when applied force is also very special. When impacted on a stone, it will emit a low frequency sound that humans cannot hear. But when put together, those frequencies resonate into the form of sound we hear. Many theories have been put forward to explain this strange thing, but no one dares to say for sure.

10. Blue Lava Volcano

The sulfur gas burned on the top of the volcano has a beautiful blue color.

The Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia spewed blue lava, surprising many people. The cause is thought to be because it formed on a sulfur gas field. The sulfur gas is heated and burned to more than 5m high, then condenses into a liquid solution, which flows down into blue lines rather than actual lava.

Therefore, the atmosphere here is quite toxic, everyone who comes near must wear a protective mask.
