Check out the Most
MYSTERIOUS Places On Earth DISCOVERED! From mysterious hidden places to
unexplained discoveries, this top 10 list of weird and odd locations around the
world is very bizarre!
10. Mount Roraima This giant
plateau soars up into the sky and is often surrounded by a sea of clouds. It
has its own very unique ecosystem with many tall waterfalls and highly
specialized plant and animal species such as pitcher plants and the Roraima
bush toad. Located on the border of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil, 75% of the
mountain is in Venezuelan territory.
9. Pripyat Following the
nuclear disaster at Chernobyl in 1986, thousands of people were evacuated from
the neighboring city of Pripyat. Over 30 years later, most of the town is still
there, frozen in time and left to decay.
8. McMurdo Dry Valleys The
McMurdo Dry Valleys are a row of snow-free valleys in Antarctica. What? No snow
in Antarctica??? That’s right. The Dry Valleys have extremely low humidity
levels and the mountains around the valley prevent any ice from flowing down
around it from glaciers.
7. Abandoned Military Hospital
Beelitz-Heilstätten is a district in Beelitz, Germany that is made famous by a
hospital complex that contains almost 60 buildings. At first, the complex was
built to treat TB and then became a sanatorium . But at the beginning of the
first war, it became a military hospital.
6. Travertine Pools of
Pamukkale Pamukkale means "cotton castle" in Turkish which makes
sense, once you see the pools in this place! They are made up of hot springs
and travertines which are terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing
water.
5. Richat Structure The Richat Structure or
the Eye of the Sahara is a mysterious round formation found in the Sahara near
Mauritania. It appears to be some sort of sci-fi experiment, but it is actually
a deeply eroded, slightly elliptical dome that is 25 miles wide.
4. Shicheng, China Shicheng
City or China’s Atlantis or Lion City, is an underwater city in the Chinese
province of Zhejiang. This city is strange for two reasons! It was forgotten
and lost for thousands of years…and it has survived remarkably well underwater!
3. Fly Geyser Likely the
most beautiful geyser in the world, Fly Geyser can be found in Washoe County,
Nevada. It is just 5 feet high, by 12 feet wide. So why is it is amazing or
mysterious? Well look at it! It isn’t natural, but rather the result of a test
site after a geothermal power company drilled into the rock.
2. The Maunsell Sea Forts
From afar, these guys look kind of like oil rigs or something, but they’re
really just old sea forts known as the Maunsell Forts. These were built during
WWII to help defend the UK. Each fort has built-in firearms and were originally
used by both army and navy personnel, a rare occurrence.
1. Door to Hell If the name
isn’t enough to scare you, wait till you hear the story behind the Gates of
Hell. Officially known as the Darvaza gas crater, the “door” is actually a
natural gas field in Derweze, Turkmenistan. When seen up close, which you never
ever really want to be, you will see fire, boiling mud, and orange flames in
the hole.
