5 Weird and Wonderful Places

 5 weird places on earth:

·         The door to Hell. In Turkmenistan there is a gas field that was set on fire by the Soviets. The gas field has been burning for over 40 years and no-one knows when the fire will eventually go out.
 



  • ·     In Death Valley, California there is a phenomenon that is called ‘Sailing Stones’. As the name suggests there is a strange occurrence that has puzzled many scientists form years. Rocks sliding across the floor by themselves. An explanation has not yet been provided as no-one has ever seen to rocks move.


·  Alaska. The home to one of the most beautiful and natural places on the Earth: Ice caves. The Alaskan Mendenhall ice caves are known for their beauty. The glacier is 12 miles long and is located 12 miles from Down-town Juneau.

· The Tianzi Mountains that are located in China provide stunning views of peaks which rise above one another. They are spectacular and have many legends behind them.

·     Hillier Lake, otherwise known as pink lake, in Western Australia is one of the weirdest lakes I have ever seen. As the nickname suggests the water in the lake is bright pink. Scientists have proven that the unusual pink colour is due to a type of algae which cause the strange colouration.


Hope you enjoyed this journey into some awesome places on Earth.
