The seven wonders of the natural world may have been named to quickly Wonders like the Grand Canyon and Victoria Falls are certainly big and anyone who sees them will surely be impressed But sheer size isn't enough to truly leave a person in awe. There are other places in this world though that are far stranger places that seem almost alien as if they could only exist on a planet that evolved separately from our own these are places that Scientists have had to struggle just to understand how they ever could have been formed places that will truly make you wonder not just because they're beautiful but because they seem to follow Scientific laws that don't exist anywhere else on earth.(P2)
Lake Karachay- Soviet Union
The Soviet Union had many nuclear facilities and most of them were ill planned and unsafe Inside one such factory there is a lake the lakes water has more radioactive material than anywhere else on earth Lake Karachay is so radioactive that you will die within an hour if you stand near it Soviets dumped nuclear waste into the lake their nuclear practices have caused a few problems with the lake in the past in 1957 an explosion blew the factory apart and the radioactive particles spread more than 23,000 kilometers the area is more radioactive than Chernobyl The lake has been covered with concrete to keep these disasters from happening Still the entire place is eerily unstable and massively radioactive
Residents of his doll and Valley Norway are continually living in a realm of great scientific mystery Almost every night lights appear in the sky. They are of bright colors. They dance around shift shapes unmistakably and disappear only to appear the next day during the night. This has been going on for four decades at least Scientists are perplexed by this mystery There are theories though but none seems to be good enough since at least the early 1930s people have spotted the lights and Hypothesized what could be causing them one theory suggests that the lake is radioactive The radon Rides dust particles and upon elevations it decays and produces lights Another theory suggests that the base of the valley is full of sulfuric acid Sulfur reacts to the water and produces what scientists call sparks Hundreds of tests have been performed to pinpoint the exact cause but to no avail
In the countryside of pia Monti Italy There is an unusual sight. There is a cherry tree there that looks in most respects Just like any other healthy cherry tree except that it happens to be growing directly on top of a mulberry tree This isn't completely unprecedented Parasitic trees have grown out of others before But normally they are small stunted things that live short lives before falling off the double tree of couse orzo though consists of two fully formed healthy trees each spreading its branches 5 meters across Nobody quite knows how it happened the locals believe that a bird may have dropped a cherry seed on top of the mulberry tree The seed grew roots that push through the mulberry trees hollow trunk and reached all the way to the soil below Letting it survive and grow into a full healthy tree
As far as natural mysteries go The Devil's kettle in Minnesota is one of the most intriguing ones at a Particular point along the Brule River the river's water splits into two one split continues Its course onto the Lake Superior and the other split. Well, we have no clue where it goes Scientists know it has to end up somewhere, but we don't know where that is Scientists first tried putting dye into the kettle and waited to see which part of the lake turns up colors It was a futile effort. Nothing turned up Next they decided to try it with ping pong balls. They also vanished without a trace What the hell is going on? We all know that laws of science dictate that the water has to turn up somewhere Even if it is being stored underground there should be markings and it should be traceable Aliens parallel universe glitch in our programming some Mayan trick your guess is as good as mine
number eight movile cave
In southeastern Romania there is a cave that was locked away from the slightest ray of light for five point five million years and that Has a completely different atmosphere from the earth. The cave was discovered by workers looking to set up a power plant they tested the ground to see if it was a safe place to build and Cracked open a pathway that leads into one of the strangest places on earth If you descend through the narrow shaft and past a series of tunnels you enter a chamber with a lake of sulfuric water stinking of rotten eggs, the air there is toxic filled with hydrogen sulfide and contaminated with 100 times the surfaces level of carbon dioxide The strangest part though. Is that a whole ecosystem has survived inside it Researchers have found 33 species inside the cave that don't exist anywhere outside of it They've adapted to survive in a sulfuric atmosphere living by feeding off a foam on top of the stones
