Just check out these incredible highlights:
- The Great Pacific Garbage Patch sits in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. It’s a melting pot of marine debris particles, with all kinds of trash and sea items making their way to this whirlpool. While environmental agencies try to clean up this spinning gyre, it tragically remains a magnet for junk.
- The Panjin Red Beach in China wows visitors and locals alike with its brilliant bright red colors. It’s a mesmerizing place with red aquamarine life growing along the twisted shorelines. It’s actually called sea blight and is only found there. It’s a rare and mystical treat you won’t find anywhere else.
- Myanmar’s giant golden boulder barely hangs off the side of a cliff, seemingly defying the laws of physics. Travelers flock to the area for a glance at this allegedly sacred delight. Locals say they’ll have a year of good health and prosperity bestowed upon them after taking in the breathtaking view.
- The floating islands of Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater body in Northeast India, are home to unique sponge-like mounds called phumdis. Scientists believe they’re made up of a mysterious organic material that floats in the water.
While these spectacular locations might seem as if they’re all thousands of miles away, there’s plenty of mysterious science to discover right in your own backyard. So, get out there. Leave no stone unturned. Fantastic adventures just make life more fun.
