Rare natural wonders in the world

-In no particular order.

1. Mi Hu

Myvatn is a eutrophic shallow lake in northern Iceland, covering an area of 37 square kilometers, located in an active volcanic area, not far from Crafra volcano. The lake and its surrounding wetlands are rich in waterfowl, especially ducks. About 2300 years ago, a large number of basalt lava erupted to form this lake. The lake is mainly surrounded by volcanic landscape, including lava columns and rootless springs. The Laxá River and its source are rich in brown trout and Atlantic salmon.

Salmon) The name of the lake comes from the Icelandic words my (mosquito) and vatn (lake), and there are many mosquitoes here in summer.

Lake Miwa, also known as Lake Miwa, is located in northern Iceland. It is the most important tourist area in Iceland, with a constant stream of tourists every year.

Mi Lake is about 37 square kilometers and 2.5 meters deep. It is the fifth lake in Iceland. Visitors can take a boat trip to the lake or fish by the lake. Due to the barrier of mountains, Mihu Lake is considered to be one of the driest areas in Iceland, and the weather is often very good. In addition to the beautiful scenery, there is a complete volcanic geographical landscape, including geothermal, geysers and craters. Due to the rich landscape, the Icelandic government planned it as a special protected area in 1974.

There is a tiny aquatic creature in the lake, and trout that feed on this creature multiply in the lake. There are many grotesque islands in the lake, inhabited by all kinds of waterfowl. There are more than 10 species of wild ducks alone, with the number exceeding 654.38+10,000.

In Skutustadargigar, you will see countless fake craters, which were formed in a volcanic eruption more than 2,000 years ago.

2. Vatna ice sheet

People usually call Iceland "the land of ice and fire". What makes people feel strange is what is under the ice. Sometimes lava flows, craters and hot lakes are distributed in the ice. There is a huge crater on the Vatna ice sheet, which is called Green Crater. The hot lake in the crater is 488 meters deep. The lake is covered with ice 200 meters thick, but the heat from the bottom of the lake melts some ice. When ice becomes water, it will take up more space. In Grim Crater, increasing water will eventually break through the ice. This violent gushing made the current take away everything it passed, including ice blocks as high as 20 meters.

In another area of the Vatna ice sheet, there are rugged volcanic remains of the Erefa ice field. 1362 A huge volcanic eruption buried or destroyed everything within thousands of meters around. A farmer is the only survivor. He heard the first two of the three volcanic eruptions and the big bang, and hid in a cave and survived.

3. Zugsharen Ice Floating Lake

The depth of the lake is160m, and the long ice comes from the glacier mouth behind the lake (glacier

Tongue) melts and splits. The water temperature in this lake is 0 degrees all year round. I saw a small iceberg in the lake.

It's like the scene of the north and south poles. It takes about 40 minutes to travel around the lake by boat. It's unforgettable to have the opportunity to see/hear the news of melting ice!

4. Geyser

The most famous natural geyser in the world, geyser, means blowout spring in Icelandic. There is also Strokul geyser next to it, which sprays continuously two or three times every eight minutes or so. The water column is as high as 20 meters, which is very spectacular.

The large geyser is a circular pool with a diameter of about18m. The spring in the center of the pool is a "cave" with a diameter of more than 10 cm, and the water temperature along it is as high as Baidu. Every time the spring erupts, I only hear the rumble in the cave. Gradually, the noise is getting louder and louder, and the boiling water is also rising. Finally rushed out of the hole and sprayed into the sky. From the water column in the middle to the steam, I went straight to the sky about 20 meters high, and then I became a jade. Each eruption lasts about 1 ~ 2 minutes, and then gradually subsides. This process is repeated and very magnificent.

5. Norwegian fjords

National Geographic Traveler magazine rated Norway's fjords as the best-preserved tourist destinations in the world. It is listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO. Among many fjords, Songna fjord, which is 204 kilometers long and 1308 meters deep, is the longest and deepest fjord in the world and a unique scenery. Choose a quiet spring morning and sail in the mirror-flat Songna Gorge Bay. The "Seven Sisters Peak" in the distance is covered with snow, and the FeiUljas Waterfall on the other side falls down. Being in it feels like being in a fairyland. There are many places worth seeing inside the fjord, such as the famous Fromm Railway, one of the world's railway masterpieces, and the ferry sightseeing that can go directly to Gudwangen. Sometimes you can see wild seals nearby from the boat. If you look it up in the dictionary, you will find that this word sometimes refers to the Norwegian fjord.

6. Giant's Road 13

There are about 37,000 hexagonal, pentagonal and quadrilateral stone pillars at the foot of the coastal cliff at the headland on the edge of the antrim Plain in Northern Ireland. They extend out of the sea, from the cliff to the sea, and have stood by the sea for thousands of years. Known as the "road of giants".

7. Mocher Cliff

Moher Cliff in Clare, Ireland is the highest cliff in Europe. Moher Cliff is located at the most edge of the midwest of Ireland Island, facing the endless Atlantic Ocean, and it is famous for its strange risks. Coincidentally, the place name Mohe is also very interesting.

The cliffs of Moher are breathtaking. It is an amazing masterpiece of nature, which is caused by the changes of the earth's crust and the waves of the Atlantic Ocean for countless years. The axe-chopping cliff presents a dense hierarchy strangely, as if it were a masterpiece through the ages. The highest point of the cliff is more than 200 meters above sea level. Near the cliff, a cylindrical ruined castle stands tall like a fallen knight. At sunset, I saw the dazzling Hui Jin surging in the vast Atlantic Ocean.

8. Ardennis Plateau

The Ardennes Plateau, located at the junction of Belgium and Luxembourg, is actually a hilly area, which was once famous for World War II. 1944 65438+In February, Nazi Germany's east and west lines were in a hurry at the same time, and Hitler, who had no way out, made a large-scale counterattack plan, hoping to launch a surprise attack on the Ardennes Plateau and cooperate with the bad weather to make a quick decision. The Ardennes Forest on the Ardennes Plateau is a huge "green lung" in Belgium, and it is also a leisure and sports resort.

9. Ellison Wilt Ice Cave

Ellison Wilt Ice Cave is located in the Alps near Salzburg, Austria, and is known as the largest ice cave in the world.

The rising temperature in the Alps makes many people pay more and more attention to the future of glaciers and ski tourism in this area. However, since the 1920s, Ellison Wilt Ice Cave, which is considered as the largest ice cave in the world, has increased by another third. In the past 15 to 20 years, the growth of this ice cave is particularly obvious. A row of icicles formed a natural ice sculpture named "Frigga Veil" in the center of Ellison Wilt Ice Cave, which was named after the ancient Norwegian goddess. Whether this exquisite freezing structure will grow or shrink in the next few years is unknown.

10. Segu Temple Cave

Shkotzyan Cave is located in Cesana, Slovenia, with a total length of 5,000 meters, including four gepo vertical valleys, such as Sokolag in the south, Globahak in the west, Shapendor and Lichner in the north, and the floodplain and Mahoji Cave, with a total length of about 2.5 kilometers and a total area of about 2 kilometers. The karst landform in Snowdonia is the most attractive part of the underground world of our planet, and Shikotsyan Cave is the most attractive cave.

1 1. Matt Peak-(Speaking of this peak, I always unconsciously think of killing Matt. . )

The Alps is one of the most famous mountain ranges (4,478 meters high [14,692 feet]), which straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy. Matterhorn is famous for its magnificent shape and terrain standing in Zermatt village, Switzerland. It is not the highest peak in the Arcus Mountains, or even the highest peak in Switzerland. However, it has four unique ridges and four faces, making it a pyramid shape. It stands tall and there are no other peaks nearby, so its beauty is even more striking. The Alps were formed about 40 million years ago. At that time, the two plates of the earth's crust collided with each other, uplifting the rock strata and becoming a folded mountain system.

12. Mont Blanc

It is the highest peak in the Alps, located at the junction of Upper Sava Province and Dhaos Tower in the valley. The latest height of Mont Blanc is 48 10.90 meters above sea level (September 15, 2007), which is the highest peak in western Europe.

13. Cai Hu group in Prithvi

Located in the alpine valley in western Croatia, it consists of 16 natural lakes and surrounding areas, with a total area of 19462 hectares. Lake Plitvece is the most beautiful and famous national park in Croatia. 1979 is listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO.

It is close to the main road connecting Zagreb and Dalmatia and consists of 16 lakes connected by numerous waterfalls. There are species such as beech and pine in the dense forest, which is the best habitat for wild animals such as bears, wolves and many kinds of birds.
