Horsetail Fire Falls
However, the fact that the fire waterfall is not formed from molten lava flows. It is a phenomenon created by the combination of waterfalls and sunlight in a certain perfect time and space. Currently, this strange sight can only be seen in one place, the Horsetail Fire Falls in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, USA.
The elements to form this amazing natural spectacle are very harsh. Firstly, Horsetail Falls must rely on meltwater from the snow-covered mountain El Capitan between December and January every year. Second, thanks to the phenomenon of light refraction when the sun shines on the water flowing down the cliff, it creates a fiery red color like a fire. In particular, this suitable sunny angle only appears at sunset of sunny days in January and February every year. So once a year, Horsetɑil waterfall will begin to appear a unique fire waterfall Phnompenh
This scene only occurs a few days in a year
2. Great Blue Hole
The Great Blue Hole is a sinkhole that exists on the ocean floor, also known as an underwater cave. The most famous blue hole, located off the coast of Belize about 100km, is an almost perfect circle with a diameter of more than 305m and a depth of 123m.
This giant underwater cave is a limestone cave that was formed during the distant Ice Age. At that time, sea level was very low and most of the seabed was still exposed to the surface. After many years, due to the constantly rising sea level, the roof of the cave collapsed and was completely submerged in sea water. Since then, forming the largest underwater limestone cave system in the world.

The most unique part of this wonder is that the mouth of the cave has created an almost perfect circle and very coincidentally coincides with the surrounding atoll. According to the eye from above, the blue hole looks like a beautiful garland in the middle of the vast ocean. The blue hole has a depth of 137m and inside there are many kinds of flora and fauna, especially there are many sharks living inside. Today, such a deep and mysterious place has become one of the most fascinating and worthwhile diving sites.
3. Fairy circle
In the arid grasslands of Namibia, strange, naturally formed round spots can be seen everywhere. They can last for decades but often mysteriously disappear decades later.

The fairy circle is a geographical phenomenon with thousands of strange voids on the surface of arid grasslands. The diameters of these circles range from 2m to 12m. Although not a single vegetation could grow in that circle, the vegetation at the outer edge was unusually dense.
For decades, many scientists have tried to explain why these strange circles appear. However, up to now, the rationalization of this mysterious natural phenomenon has not had a clear explanation. It is also one of nature's greatest mysteries. Those who have seen the fairy circles with their own eyes find them fascinating and unbelievable.
4. Desert of a thousand lakes
Lencois Maranhenses Desert.
In our impression, desert usually refers to barren areas where the ground is completely covered with golden sand and lacks life. However, in the world, there is a very special place, although it has the appearance of a desert, the landscape here is far different from other deserts, it is known as the desert of a thousand lakes.
That is the Lencois Maranhenses desert, located on the northeastern coast of Brazil. This place is a unique desert in the world, with an exceptionally large annual rainfall of up to 1600mm. When the rainy season arrives, abundant rainfall fills the valleys between the sand dunes, creating a wonder of thousands of breathtaking lakes.
Countless blue lakes surrounded by winding white sand dunes have created the most amazing and unique desert landscape in the world. However, this beautiful scene also lasted only a very short time. When the dry season comes, these green lakes will disappear again. No wonder so many people want to visit this wonder of the world, as even those most familiar with the place will be amazed at its ever-changing beauty.
