The Blue Hole
Belize (formerly British Honduras)
 
Definitely a site to see from an aerial view. A dark colour blue water in the middle of an ocean. This is because of the difference in depths of water. There is actually a huge and deep underwater cave that was covered by these waters that resulted the color to be different. The depths also houses a huge number of underwater creatures beautiful for diving

Hell's Door

Kara Kum Desert, Turkmenistan

It has a beautiful view especially at night since its glow is visible miles away. This was a result during an excavation on 1971 for natural gas but the floor collapse like a sink hole and then the authorities decided to ignite the cave rather than letting the gas fume out and poison people. As a result a never         ending glow due to a burning natural gas. Try your fart. It will flame up too.

Racetrack Playa
California, USA

The moving rocks provide mystique to the valley. Theories have been coming out to explain this.

Visit this place and bring a camera with you.
