Natural Beauties

So I've decided to share with you all 5 kind of random places that I think are absolutely stunning and are places that I am definitely hoping to see in my lifetime. Here we go! Oh and these also aren't in any particular order.

1. Mount Roraima in Venezuela

To begin have you ever seen anything like this? Me neither. This is the tallest flat topped mountain in the world at 2810 m high. I think it's really astounding and I love the many water falls scattered around the mountain. It's said to be in Venezuela but its in fact on the border between Venezuela, Brazil and Guiana.

2. The Great Dune of Pyla in France

This is an incredible part of nature. It's a crazy phenomena because it seriously looks like someone took a piece of African desert and plopped it in the middle of Europe. This is Europe's largest sand dune. It's surface cover 1.5 square km and reaches a height of about 100 m. It's just a really neat place that would make for some exquisite photos.  

3. Rotorua in New Zealand 

So these babies here aren't located directly in the city of Rotorua, but can be found near the city. These are boiling mud pools. They occur because of geothermal activity. A lot of that goes on around this area and it can cause and odorous smell so be prepared. I just think these things are so neat. I'm sure they can be found in places other than New Zealand, but I really just need an excuse to go there and figured this was the perfect excuse. 

4. The Door To Hell in Turkmenistan 

About 40 years ago, geologists uncovered and underground cavern and took down the drilling equipment. They discovered a lot of poisonous gas in there and decided they would ignite it hoping that it would burn out in a few days. They slightly miscalculated though, because 40 years later the gas is still burning. I think that this would just be something really neat to see. I wonder how long it will burn for. 

5. Socotra in the Indian Ocean

This is the largest island of a group of islands located in the Indian Ocean. It's very isolated because it's nearly 240 km away from other land. The species of plants an animals are very unique and different. A lot of things found on the island are alien-like. For instance the tree above looks like something out of a strange fantasy world. The most famous plant that grows there is called the Dragon's Blood Tree (below) which looks like a really big umbrella. It would definitely be somewhere like no other and I think it would be fascinating to visit. 

So there you have it, 5 slightly random yet beautiful things that I would like to see in person. Our world is so fascinating and I guarantee that there is always something yet to be discovered.
