Unusual places of the world

These striped, hand-painted mountains are the answer of nature to the masters of Photoshop. Red sandstone and mineral deposits have made this geological park a popular destination for tourists from around the world.

A scary, breathtaking place. Here, underground gases burst out through numerous cracks. Sometimes they condense into liquid sulfur, which then takes on an extreme shade of blue and drains from the volcano along with the lava.

Unfortunately, even the fabulous interior of this unusual cave can be easily explained: especially for tourists, Chinese masters have arranged hidden underwater lighting of the most remarkable alleys.

The ice caves inside the Mendenhall Juneau Glacier are hard to call an easily accessible place. And it will be better for people who are nervous to stay away from here: a kayak trip to the glacier, and then climbing an iceberg can make anyone lose heart. But those who have reached the blue ceilings of these caves, loudly say - it's really worth it.

Socotra Forest looks as if it has been forgotten by aliens here. Unusual treetops themselves resemble UFOs - tourists claim that here, and in fact, land guests from outer space.

It doesn't always have to be dark and dirty in caves. The marble caves located in the Andes look alive and beautiful, like an underground palace of some ancient deity.
