If you missed my first post about Weird World Wonders, I recommend you check it out. There were some cool and interesting strange natural phenomenon from across the globe.
But there are way more than the 6 odd places I showed you in that first post, so to follow up I thought I’d show you 5 more.
There are are interesting and weird as the first 6.
Take a look a 5 more weird world wonders:
Racetrack Playa, California
The Racetrack Playa, or The Racetrack, is a scenic dry lake feature with “sliding stones” that leave linear “racetrack” imprints. It is located above the northwestern side of Death Valley in California. The stones move around though no one is quite sure how.
Socotra, Yemen
The Island of Socotra in Yemen resembles someplace you’d expect to see aliens living in. One of a handful of strange looking plants, the Dragon’s Blood Tree looks like broccoli and it’s resin is dark red.
The Chocolate Hills, Philippines
In the Philippines, on the island of Bohol you will find hundreds of limestone “domes” closely grouped together. The domes are covered in grass that turns brown in the dry season hence the name “The Chocolate Hills” and a local legend claims that they were formed when giant buffalo ate too much. There are numerous other legends surrounding their formation as well.
Great Blue Hole, Belize
The Great Blue Hole is a giant sinkhole off the coast of Belize that is around 1,000 feet across and more than 400 feet deep. It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s not a black hole or anything and is considered one of the best scuba diving sites in the world.
Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah
Located west of the Great Salt Lake, the Bonneville Salt Flats are a 30,000 acre area that has a layer of salt on it up to 5 feet thick in some places. Estimates say the area contains 147 million tons of salt.
Have you ever been to any of these weird world wonders? Which one would you most like to visit?
I like the rock.. and that blue whole is incredible too.
I live in Utah and have been to the Salt Flats. It’s white as fair as the eye can see. Smells funky though, from all the salt. Several land speed records were made there over the years.
There is also singing sand in Grand Haven , Michigan. Its pretty cool it squeaks as you walk through it. pretty unique.
They have singing sands in Prince Edward Island, Canada, as well.. It’s caused by sphere-shaped granules- nearly all sand grains worldwide have ones with straight sides. Scientists don’t have a conclusive theory on why these exist!
They have it in Oregon too; I grew up there though, so its not much of a phenomenon to me.
