The
seven wonders of the natural world may have been named to quickly wonders like
the Grand Canyon and Victoria Falls are certainly big and anyone who sees them
will definitely be impressed but sheer size isn't enough
to genuinely leave a person in awe there are other locations on this world though
which can be some distance stranger locations exist anywhere else on
earth.

10. Devil's kettle as far as natural mysteries go The Devil's kettle in
Minnesota is one of the most intriguing ones at a particular point along the
Brule River the river's water splits into two one split continues its course
onto the Lake Superior and the other split well we have no clue where it goes
scientists know it has to end up somewhere but we don't know where that is
scientists first tried putting dye into the kettle and waited to see which part
of the lake turns up colors it was a futile effort nothing turned up next they decided
to try it with ping pong balls they also vanished without a trace what the hell
is going on we all know that laws of science dictate that the water has to turn
up somewhere even if it is being stored underground there should be markings
and it ought to be traceable aliens parallel universe glitch in our
programming a few Mayan trick
your bet is as correct as mine.

9. Has Dolan lights residents of his doll and Valley Norway are continually
living in a realm of great scientific mystery almost every night lights appear
in the sky they are of bright colors they dance around shift shapes
unmistakeably and disappear only to appear the next day during the night this
has been going on for four decades at least scientists are perplexed by this
mystery there are theories though but none seems to be good enough since at
least the early 1930s people have spotted the lights and hypothesized what
could be causing them one theory suggests that the lake is radioactive the
radon Rides dust particles and upon elevations it decays and produces lights
another theory suggests that the base of the valley is full of sulfuric acid
sulfur reacts to the water and produces what scientists call sparks hundreds of
tests have been performed to pinpoint.

8. Movile cave in southeastern romania there is a cave that was locked away
from the slightest ray of light for five point five million years and that has
a absolutely one-of-a-kind surroundings from the earth the cave was found with the aid of workers searching to set up a strength
plant they tested the ground to peer if it changed into
a safe place to build and cracked open a pathway that leads into one of the
strangest places on earth if you descend through the narrow shaft and past a
series of tunnels you enter a chamber with a lake of sulfuric water stinking of
rotten eggs the air there is toxic filled with hydrogen sulfide and
contaminated with 100 times the surfaces level of carbon dioxide the strangest
part though is that a whole ecosystem has survived inside it researchers have
found 33 species inside the cave that don't exist anywhere outside of it
they've adapted to survive in a sulfuric atmosphere living by feeding off a
foam on top of the stones.
Number
7. Lake Karachay the Soviet Union had many nuclear facilities and most of them
were ill planned and unsafe inside one such factory there is a lake the lakes
water has more radioactive material than anywhere else on earth Lake Karachay
is so radioactive that you will die within an hour if you stand near it Soviets
dumped nuclear waste into the lake their nuclear practices have caused a few
problems with the lake in the past in 1957 an explosion blew the factory apart
and the radioactive particles spread more than 23,000 kilometers the area is
more radioactive than Chernobyl the lake has been covered with concrete to keep
these disasters from happening still the entire place is eerily unstable and
massively radioactive.
Number
6. The Doubletree of kiss or sow in the countryside of pia Monti Italy there is
an unusual sight there is a cherry tree there that looks in most respects just
like any other healthy cherry tree except that it happens to be growing
directly on top of a mulberry tree this isn't completely unprecedented
parasitic trees have grown out of others before but normally they are small
stunted things that live short lives before falling off the double tree of
couse orzo though consists of two fully formed healthy trees each spreading its
branches 5 metres across nobody quite knows how it happened the locals believe
that a bird may have dropped a cherry seed on top of the mulberry tree the seed
grew roots that push through the mulberry trees hollow trunk and reached all
the way to the soil below letting it survive and grow into a full healthy tree.
Number
5. The sleeping city of cahuachi the city of cahuachi kazakhstan is not
disney's creation it is as real as it gets citizens of kolache face a very
peculiar epidemic people just collapse into naps randomly even while walking on
the road they also report memory loss fatigue and hallucinations the epidemic
affects people from all genders and ages Kazakhstan has even recommended
evacuations but they are no closer to solving the problem one theory suggests
that the residents are facing some kind of radiation poisoning since the area
is near a uranium mine however there are flaws in that theory all the blood
tests and other monitoring has turned up zero evidence secondly there is a town
which is closer to the mind than kolache and they have said no such epidemic.
Number
4. Circles of Namibia there is an ecological mystery sitting throughout
Namibian deserts there are fields of grass with circles carved in them at
regular intervals the circles are almost perfectly created and can range from
10 to 65 feet in diameter and by the way if you are thinking of the movie the
signs you are not alone forget explaining the circles scientists are not even
sure of the more basic questions such as why are there circles why not any
random shape nothing grows in these circle patches scientists have come up with
various theories and all have been debunked almost immediately in 2013 norbert
Jergens an environmental scientist said that termites were the cause of the
circles but in 2015 biologist Walter Schinkel tested the hypothesis and
disproved it.
Number
3. The hum of Taos a barely audible buzzing sound that you cannot pinpoint can
infuriate you we have all been there when a distant lawnmower or our TV starts
making a buzz and unless and until we don't find where it's coming from it
feels like our brain is eating itself from the inside now imagine the pain and
frustration of residents of Taos in New Mexico since the early 1990s large
numbers of residents of Taos have complained about a constant humming sound it
can be heard all around the town and has driven people nuts for twenty years
various investigators have tried to locate the hum but to no success some
scientists have hypothesized that the town's residents are super hearers who
can detect sound that ordinary humans can't but doesn't that raise more
questions than it answers.

2. Never-ending lightning storm in western Venezuela over the Catatumbo River
there is a storm that never ceases starting at 7:00 p.m. every night lightning
crashes over the water for 10 hours every night 260 nights each year nobody
knows for sure why it happens up until recently the leading theory was that it
had something to do with uranium in the bedrock although scientists are
starting to doubt it today the leading theory is a complicated one it posits
that the shape of the mountains caused warm trade winds to collide with cold
air from the Andes that collision is then fueled by the rapidly evaporating
water below and methane from a nearby oil field nobody actually knows for sure
though why it happens everything about it is mysterious including one moment in
2010 when it inexplicably stopped one day the storm just died down without
explanation and seemed for a while to be over then after six weeks of silence
it sparked up again and has been raging ever since.
Number
1. The boiling River deep in the Amazon lies a river four miles long and unlike
any other on earth the shehnai Tim fishka is so hot that any animal That steps into it gets
boiled alive when a hapless
creature wanders inside the eyes
cook dinner first melting in its
cranium soon the animal is in an
excessive amount of pain
to keep
swimming to safety water fills its mouth and lungs and it is cooked from the
inside out the river gets as hot as 91 degrees Celsius 196 degrees fahrenheit
and scientists aren't completely sure why normally water that gets this hot is
fed by a volcano but this one is 700 kilometres removed from the nearest one
there is a theory though scientists believe that boiling hot water from under
the earth cracks through fault lines and heats up the river making the water a
geothermal system unlike any other on earth.
