confused it's a reason some of us travel to be baffled to be surprised to be shocked to look around at our foreign surroundings and have absolutely no idea what's going on this weirdness that you notice while on the road comes in different guises it can be quirks of culture or it can be unique attractions it can be natural or it can be man-made in some cases it can be a complete mystery to even those who claim it as their own these places are really weird and they're definitely worth seeing for yourself
Gates of Hell the devarsi crater Turkmenistan better known as the gates of hell this eerie cavern in the CARICOM desert has been on fire for more than 40 years it was discovered in 1971 by Soviet geologists when the ground beneath their drilling rigs suddenly collapsed leaving a 230 foot wide hole as the huge crater was filled with potentially poisonous natural gas the decision was made to set it alight scientists expected it to burn itself out within a few days but it didn't it's been more than 40 years ago and the fire is still as fierce today as it ever was
BLOOD FALLS imagine a snowy mountain having a blood bath in between sounds like something unnatural right well here you have the blood-red waterfall staining the white Taylor glacier the blood Falls of Antarctica may have been a mystery for quite a while but is not anymore thanks to the researchers and glaciologists who said that this occurrence was due to iron oxide basically rust which was present in the water water which flows from the lake creates this red hue and making it look as if blood is flowing out into the water
Kelimutu Indonesia in the island of Flores in Indonesia mount kelimutu is the set of three pristine lakes in the national park of the same name these lakes are the result of volcanic eruption and all are different colors blue turquoise and even black well if you are thinking that this is the mystery of the place then I suggest you hold on these are one of those colors in which you can expect to see these lakes sometimes the color even changes to white or red because of the proximity of each lake to the underlying volcano however the change of their hue is unpredictable tourists have also seen one of these lakes in dark brown color unbelievable right
Floating islands India Loch Tok Lake is not the only largest freshwater lake in north-east india it is also home to unique floating islands called boom Dee's these circular land masses are made of vegetation soil and organic matter that have been thickened into a solid form the islands have a spongy surface that feels like a trampoline like an iceberg most of the mass of the foon Dee's lies below the water surface during the dry season when the water levels drop off the living roots of the island can reach the lake bed and absorb nutrients speckled across this lock TOC Lake the several thousand foodies and its surrounding waters are vital for irrigation drinking water and food supplies thus the lake has been referred to as the lifeline of Manipur State thousands of fishermen make their livelihood in the waters catching about 1,500 tons six point six million pounds of fish every year children and illiterate adults also attend a school located on one of the floating islands
