12 unglaubliche Orte, die du so noch nie gesehen hast

These are, even if it is hard to believe, no pictures from the movie Avatar. In this video I show you some of such incredible places and their existence one tends to dispute. The crooked forest, Poland In a small forest area in Poland you can find trees that have grown quite differently than normal. The deformed pine trees all run 1 to 3 meters at a 90 degree angle before they grow towards the sky. Once there were around 400 trees of this kind, of which only 100 are left due to damage. Why the trees take this crooked shape is unclear. There are numerous theories. It is most likely that the trees were deliberately shaped like this to be used for furniture construction. Another says that the young trees were rolled down by heavy tanks in World War II. However, they recovered and then grew further towards the sun. Others cause strong magnetic fields, natural disasters, chemicals in the soil or even ghosts responsible for the strange shape of the trees. The Glowworm Cave, New Zealand New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries on earth in terms of landscape. From high mountain peaks over glaciers to deep valleys it is very varied. But what you can find there in some caves tops everything. Their ceilings are the home of thousands of Glowworms, which turn the dark caves into a fairy-tale setting. More precisely, the Glowworms are a special mosquito species of the species Arachnocampa, which is native to New Zealand and Australia. They have the ability of bioluminescence, i.e. the ability to generate light independently and attract prey with it. In the meantime, you can book boat trips through the caves and admire this natural spectacle with your own eyes. Grand Prismatic Spring, USA Grand Prismatic Spring is the name of this breathtakingly colorful thermal spring, which is 6,824 square meters the largest in the USA and the third largest in the world. It can be found in the western part of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming state. Even if the 49 meter deep pool looks very inviting with its colorful colors, you should not go swimming here. About 2,000 liters of 71 degrees hot spring water flow through a crack in the bottom of the pool per minute. The pretty colors come from different microorganisms in the biofilm at the edges of the mineral-rich thermal spring. In summer it is more orange and red and in winter it tends to dark green. Roraima Tepui, Venezuela We are so used to natural formations with irregular shapes that the Roraima Tepui or in Spanish Monte Roraima in Venezuela seems unrealistic or human. This Tepui is located in the triangle between Venezuela, Brazil and Guana and is the highest plateau in the world at an altitude of 2,810 meters. What makes it so extraordinary, however, is its appearance, which makes it almost square. This plate was created by erosion and the landscape on its high plateau is a rock labyrinth with many gorges, some of which are several hundred meters deep. The Gate to Hell, Turkmenistan This 70 meter wide and 30 meter deep crater in Turkmenistan is also known as the Gate to Hell. It was created in 1971 when drilling took place in the area, where geologists came across an underground cave that was filled with earth gas. As a result, a deep earthen funnel formed, which swallowed the drilling device. In order to prevent the release of toxic gases, the researchers decided to burn the grass and threw a grenade into it. That was the birth of the Gate to Hell, in which the fire has been burning unstoppably for over 50 years now and it is assumed that it will continue to burn for decades. Wulingyang Mountains, China Wulingyang is a place in the Chinese province of Wuhan. This area is known above all for its high sandstone columns, which rise over 1 km in height. There are over 3,000 of these columns on an area of ​​about 17,000 hectares. They consist mainly of quartz sand and were formed about 400 million years ago. Even James Cameron used this breathtaking scenery as inspiration for his film Avatar. Especially when the mountains are covered in fog, a mystical atmosphere is created, reminiscent of a cloudy city. Red Bar Lake, Senegal The Red Bar Lake is a salt lake about 3 m², which can be found 35 km northeast of the Senegalese capital Dakar. In the 19th century, it still had an area of ​​32 km², which, however, due to drought periods and the progress of coastal dunes, had a strong impact on volume. Unique to the lake is its luminous pink color, which can be traced back to halophilic algae. These algae produce a red pigment that supports the absorption of sunlight. With 380 grams of salt per liter, this lake is about as salty as the Dead Sea and you almost swim here alone. The local population uses the lake for salt mining and you hardly believe it for fishing. However, the fish only reach a quarter of their normal size due to the high salt content. Red Beach, China China is a country full of incredible geographical attractions, but the Red Beach in Panjing looks really fantastic. In this region, only a few species of plants thrive. One of them is the snail-like Sueda salsa, which has a deep red color. Thousands of these colors transform the entire area into a deep red sea. The Red Beach is the largest wetland and reed area in the world and the landscape is mostly made up of soft seabed and geyser land. More than 260 different bird species and over 400 other animal species are native to this area. Lake Baikal, Russia Lake Baikal in South Siberia is the world's largest known freshwater lake. It covers almost a quarter of the non-salty surface water of our planet. With a maximum depth of 1642 meters and an age of more than 25 million years, it is also the deepest and oldest freshwater lake on earth. Just as many superlatives at once, but the most fascinating phenomenon is only visible when the lake freezes. The lake is made up of icy winds due to its location, which blow over its surface and form incredible ice structures on it. Methane bubbles enclosed in the ice also make for a partially very surreal-looking, but beautiful-looking picture. The Stone Forest, Madagascar The fact that the fauna and flora on Madagascar are partly completely different from the rest of the world is well known. Another good example of this is the national park Tsengi-de-Bemaraha. The special thing about it are the close-knit, up to 130 meters high limestone needles. They were created millions of years ago when coral reefs reached the earth's surface through erosion and tectonic shifts. Through wind and water erosion, the landscape took on its unusual shape with numerous limestone peaks, caves and gorges. The Richard Structure, Mauritania The Richard Structure, or the Eye of Africa, is a ring-shaped, crater-like geological structure in the west of the Sahara. The ring hills have a diameter of 45 km and are only a few meters high. They consist of sedimentary rock and are particularly visible from space, so that they are now used by astronauts as landmarks. However, if you stand right in front of them, they are hardly recognizable due to their low height. You would probably just pass by without noticing anything. The origin of these ring-shaped structures has not yet been clarified. Scientists consider a volcanic eruption, a meteorite impact, as well as the erosion of a dome structure by magmatic intrusion. In the area of the structure, found stone tools and spurs suggest that human civilizations lived here hundreds of thousands of years ago, who built their villages along the structure. The underwater waterfall, Mauritius 800 meters from the southwestern tip of Mauritius, you can admire an incredible natural phenomenon. It looks like there is a waterfall active under the sea surface. This optical illusion arises because the island is located on a higher shelf. However, a few meters in front of the island, it suddenly falls to a depth of almost 4 km. What looks like a waterfall actually arises from the falling sand that the strong sea current pulls into the abyss. Really breathtaking what our planet has in store for extraordinary places. A human life is hardly enough to visit them all. How good that there is YouTube. For even more incredible and absurd videos subscribe to the channel.
