Mother Nature's Rich Fantasy

What is the most beautiful place on our planet? Of course, there is no single answer and cannot be. The delightful landscapes of mother nature are not repeated, and those who saw them once are unlikely to forget the variety of colors. The very concept of beauty is very subjective, and it is not clear what criterion to focus on when making a rating of "Top 10 most beautiful places on the planet"? However, we have chosen amazing corners that are unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. Let's make a reservation right away that they are presented in random order, since it is rather absurd to determine which of them occupy the first or last places.

Magic landscapes of India

Natural work of art

The most beautiful places on the planet are the corners where the heart beats faster from amazement. Looking at the grottoes carved by water in the thickness of the rocks, dotted with patterns resembling marble, you want to scream with delight. Tourists do not immediately realize that this is not fiction, but reality. A true natural masterpiece, whose galleries and shafts were formed after the limestone rock was washed out with water, is not inferior in beauty to the works of the greatest architects.

Guests entering the grottoes shimmering with all shades understand how rich the fantasy of nature is, which created a majestic temple, to the beauty of which a person did not lay hands. The smooth cone-shaped teeth of the cave, combined with crystal clean water will make everyone believe that heaven on earth really exists.

Crystal Cave in Iceland

We will never stop admiring the amazing creations of nature. The best architect in the world, who creates masterpieces that are beyond the power of man, once again shows his skill. And one of these works are the caves in Iceland, which were formed due to the movement of air and water through small gaps in the Vatnajökull glacier.

Crystal dungeon where it penetrates sunlight looks fantastic from the inside. For millions of years, meltwater has flowed down, solidifying and taking on the most unusual forms. The color of the crystal caves can change depending on the lighting, and the rich azure hue turns into a bright orange and even purple when ice grottoes fire burns.

Unfortunately, the most beautiful places on planet Earth may disappear over time. The vault of the cave, which is safe to be in only in winter, when it completely freezes, will someday collapse due to the constant movement of the glacier, and the natural object, reminiscent of the Snow Queen's castle with frozen galleries and bizarre labyrinths, will disappear forever.

The canyon that did not become a national park

According to Americans, the most beautiful places on the planet are in the United States, and the country's government is kind to the preservation of miraculous masterpieces and creates national parks. In the state of Arizona, nature has created a real pearl, no less beautiful than the famous Grand Canyon, but, unfortunately, not so popular. The magic corner is not protected by the state, despite its amazing beauty. Antelope Canyon, whose tawny-red walls look like the skin of a graceful animal, belongs to the Indians, who charge an entrance fee to the territory with very unusual landscapes.

Over the course of many centuries, gigantic cracks have formed in the rocks, resembling stripes with bizarre patterns. heavy rains, often flooding the canyon, processed the rocks like a skilled jeweler, and put on them mysterious lines of various shades, and even modern cameras cannot convey the true charm of picturesque places.

Best time to visit

Tourists who have visited the canyon recommend visiting the most beautiful places planets to enjoy the aesthetic pleasure of red sandstone, where giant depressions arose.

Geothermal source of rainbow color

The amazing, most beautiful places on the planet are not only centuries-old forests, mysterious caves and fabulous-looking canyons. They also include the prismatic geyser of the Yellowstone National Park (USA). Having unique colors that are constantly changing, it appeared at the site of the eruption giant volcano over 600 thousand years ago. The thermal spring formed a rainbow lake that looks like an eye with long eyelashes.

Due to the high temperature, the water in the pool, which is called "prism", is always transparent, and its color depends on the bacteria living on the surface. This is the most effective geothermal source in the world, ranked in the top most beautiful places on the planet. The bright orange shores of the geyser and iridescent overflows formed by microorganisms attract tourists traveling across America. A natural miracle with a depth of about 50 meters, striking the imagination with a riot of colors, is recognized as a symbol of the national park.

deadly beauty

Alas, sometimes the most beautiful places on the planet are often hard to reach, and not every tourist will get to the Dallol volcanic crater, located in the Danakil Desert (Ethiopia). However, we can take a virtual tour and admire the unearthly landscapes of an uninhabited place, which in ancient manuscripts was called the "hellish abyss". Standing apart from the rest of the wonders of the world, it is the most impressive geological formation, the colored rocks of which perfectly illustrate the millions of years of evolution of the solid shell of our Earth.

The volcano, which has a crater below sea level, is dotted with thermal springs, but instead of water, springs of hydrochloric acid and sulfur are beating, so it is impossible to stay on its territory for a long time. There is a large deposit of potash salts here, and plains covered with deposits of fantastic colors surround the Dallola crater. Unusual corner, bewitching with deadly beauty, surprises rare guests who never cease to admire the fantasy of nature.

Maldives: total relaxation

Beautiful places on the planet are corners with amazing landscapes that nature generously endows us with. A trip to the islands of the Maldives archipelago, which are the embodiment of paradise on earth, will never be forgotten, and Vaadhoo beach with natural illumination in the moonlight and even more so. Small blue lights "light up" along the beach coast, and the whole area is lit up with a magical glow. It seems that the sky dotted with myriads of stars has descended to the earth, covering it with a sparkling canvas.

Millions of neon dots scattered in the azure sea captivate vacationers, especially lovers of romance who spend their nights by the ocean. The surreal spectacle has its own explanation: there is no magic here, and an amazing glow is produced by microscopic organisms - phytoplankton, inside which a chemical reaction takes place. Spend an evening on the beach watching a fabulously beautiful picture of a shining bluish color coastline, - one of the best options in the Maldives.

Japanese fireflies

Nature has created a huge number of masterpieces, looking at which, it seems that you are in a fairy tale. This is what tourists who visit Japan remember in the summer, when the rainy season begins. In forests exotic country lights are lit, and real fireflies put on a mysterious show. Tiny insects light up the path in different colors, thus attracting the attention of the opposite sex, and vacationers are left to admire the natural beauty of Japanese forests, turned into scenery for unique spectacles.

Buddhist shrine on the edge of the abyss

The most beautiful places on planet Earth are not limited to natural masterpieces, and Chaittiyo Pagoda in Myanmar, located on a huge boulder that hangs over an abyss, is proof of this. The Buddhist shrine is located on top of a tall stone covered with gold leaf. The powerful construction seems to be balancing on the edge of the cliff, and the guests who saw this miracle for the first time, it seems that the boulder is about to collapse down.

The monks allow several tourists to rock the local attraction, but for two and a half thousand years no one has been able to roll a stone found at the bottom of the sea off the cliff. Although there is an ancient legend that only a woman can do this, therefore the fair sex is not allowed closer than 10 meters to the pagoda.

Breaking the laws of gravity

The Buddhist temple hanging over the abyss was first mentioned in the chronicles in the 16th century, and believers believe that the hair donated by the Buddha, stored in the pagoda, protects it from falling. Many skeptics are sure that a stone and a rock are a single monolith, but in fact a boulder that violates all laws gravity, is a separate entity. People often come here in the evening to enjoy amazing views, but foreigners are not allowed to spend the night near the pagoda.

little known plateau

Here you can visit cave churches, hollowed out in a pliable rock. In the Time of Troubles, monks hid in them, who dug underground labyrinths. A wonderful corner, charming with unusual beauty, arouses admiration for its grandeur, and you need to visit it in order to understand how multifaceted the world is.
