15 Magical Places in the world
Lake By Call
only a couple of miles north of Mongolia lies the oldest lake on the entire planet this acclaimed title is not undeserved as the lake is thought to be 25 million years old not only is this lake really old but it's also the deepest known lake by volume lake by call reaches 1 641 meters deep and remarkably contains 20 of the world's frozen fresh water but why is it so big well the lake has the earth's crust to thank for its size when the crust pulled apart otherwise known as a rift valley the structure for this beast of the lake world was born the lake is a remarkable 49 miles wide and 395 miles long the ice here is as clear as they come with an onlooker able to see 40 meters down into the crystal clear Lake there isn't just cold water to be found here however as the lake also contains 27 mostly uninhabitable islands known as the Galapagos of Russia rather greedily there are 300 rushing lakes flowing into lake by call but only one flowing out of it amazingly there are actually tribes of people who live on the east side of the lake and raise cattle to survive the bitterly cold winters there this is one incredible lake and aliens seem to think so too there have been regular ufo sightings over this lake even to this day maybe word of the huge lake spread further than we may have first thought
Salar Du Uni
Bolivia the world's largest mirror is the salar dia uni in Bolivia and it looks as incredible as it sounds the disorientating ground here is literally a mirror to the sky and it's all thanks to mother nature and a hell of a lot of salt for as far as the eye can see the ground here is layered with up to 10 meter deep layers of salt which are squeezed between sedimentary deposits there's plenty of salt to go around here as there are an estimated 10 billion tons of the mineral laid across this 10 582 kilometer expanse the result is a huge mirror-like area which is so big it can even be seen from space aside from making a great place to practice your photography skills add and strike a poser to underneath this unbelievable terrain are resources which companies around the world are scrambling to get their hands on beneath the salt flat is approximately 70 percent of the world's lithium reserves not sure what lithium is well it's an essential ingredient in the powering of laptops smart phones and electric cars considering how almost everyone in the modern world owns at least one of these devices the demand is undoubtedly pretty high for this resource
Lake Redba lock Rose
Senegal seeing a lake change its color from regular murky water to a pink hue is usually a warning sign that someone or something is injured and bleeding out into the running water well that isn't always the case so before you start calling for help you should get to know lake redba and its algae friends lake redba in Senegal isn't like most lakes with the lake's high salt content being 10 times more than that of the ocean's Water whilst sounding like it would be the worst thing ever to swallow or get in your eye this high salt content also encourages algae to grow in its waters this algae has the amazing effect of causing a shift in the water's color it's truly a stunning sight to see these pink hue waters adding vibrant color to an unexpected part of nature you'll have to be lucky to see the phenomenon however as the light has to be just right if you're to see the pink hues in all their glory your best bet is to visit during the dry season when the sun is the highest in the sky it's also completely safe to swim in the pink waters so feel free to pack a wetsuit
Antelope Canyon Arizona
Arizona if you've ever wondered what sandstone looks like after it's been carved by wind and water then head to antelope canyon in Arizona to see the incredible results looking like something out of a movie the dramatic structure of this canyon is insane the way the light hits the different carved out pieces of sandstone is truly fascinating to look at and provides a great photo opportunity for those with a camera at hand these dramatic structures are really fragile and as such require a good bit of looking after there are a few rules to ensure this natural beauty remains in great condition well into the future for starters you're not allowed to climb or draw on the sandstone which is great because the last thing you want is a load of poorly drawn graffiti ruining your picture and someone breaking a leg in the middle of nowhere while it's a stunning must-see for anyone it's a bit too much of a tight squeeze for an ambulance to reach you it's crazy to think that such a spectacle was created all by nature and once you're done appreciating antelope canyon and then why not head to lake Powell or horseshoe bend which are just a couple of the many natural beauties found in the area
Zhang Jiaji National Forest Park China
