Nature is magical and charming, and the beautiful scenery created by Mother Nature can make people dedicate their entire lives in search of its beauty. This article introduces you to the five natural landscapes in the world.
Should you ever have the chance to explore each of these wonders, the experiences attained will undoubtedly make a lifetime truly worthwhile!
1. Antelope Canyon
Antelope Canyon near Page is the most visited and photographed canyon in the American Southwest and is considered one of the most beautiful canyons in the world. It was formed by the erosion of the Navajo Sandstone by flash floods. Especially during the monsoon season, rainwater enters the wide basin above the cracks in the canyon and carries sand with it as it enters the narrow channel. Over time, the channels were eroded deeper and the smooth edges smoothed out, forming flow shapes in the rock.
2. Yellowstone National Park
The distinguishing features of Yellowstone National Park are geothermal phenomena, with more geysers and hot springs than anywhere else in the world, the colorful Yellowstone River Grand Canyon, fossil forests, and Yellowstone Lake. There are more than 3,000 geysers, fumaroles, and hot springs here, making it the largest concentration of geysers in the world. The most famous of these is the "Old Faithful", which sprays water once an hour.
3. Geirangerfjord and Nairuifjord
Someone once said that if you have only one chance to visit a fjord once in your life, it must be the Geirangerfjord and Nairuifjord in Norway. They are the longest and deepest fjords in the world, with high vertical cliffs, deep waters, and dizzying waterfalls. Both fjords have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The cause of the fjord is that millions of years ago, the glaciers melted and moved towards the ocean. In the process, a huge force was generated, which cut the valley into a U shape and formed the fjord where the sea water poured back.
4. Devils Tower National Monument
On an almost flat piece of land in the northeastern corner of Wyoming, USA, stands a huge rock with a height of 264 meters, which people named Devils Tower. So far, no one has been able to explain how this behemoth came to be, and some speculate that it was a supernatural phenomenon that was left on Earth by aliens.
5. Sea of Stars
Despite being the smallest country in Asia, the Maldives boasts an abundance of tourism resources. Among its most renowned attractions is the breathtaking Sea of Stars, resembling a celestial night sky straight out of a fairy tale. However, this captivating phenomenon is brought about by bioluminescent plankton illuminating the ocean floor. It is said that countless visitors flock to the Maldives just to witness this magical spectacle firsthand.
