You can also find them in Japan, the Maldives, Puerto Rico etc.

These waves can be found all over the world but they say that the most beautiful waves are at the Blue Grotto of Malta.

This natural phenomenon constitutes 70% of the world’s total need for lithium. This phenomenon was created by a dried-up prehistoric lake that once was so big that it covered almost the whole of southwest Bolivia. Here you’ll find a video of a tour of the mountains!

The rainbow is the result of tectonic shifts, climatic conditions, and the erosion of red terrigenous sedimentary beds. They are very popular among people that love natural phenomena because of their beautiful colors. When looking at the picture you can immediately understand why these mountains are called the Rainbow Mountains. So it is a cool place to see but just don’t swim in it!

The only animal that can go on the lake are flamingos, because they love the amount of salt in the lake.

The high levels of pH can burn the skin and eyes of living creatures. This lake located in Northern Tanzania looks very cool and fun to swim in but it’s deadly! It is actually in the top 5 most dangerous lakes due to the high levels of pH that can go up to 10.5. Lake Natron, Tanzania Photo by George Steinmetz There is some sad news though, you cannot swim in the Spotted lake due to the fact that it’s actually private property. In summer, when the lake evaporates, the minerals are the only thing left, which is the reason why we are able to admire this charming landscape. The small lake has lots of little dots thanks to the minerals that are present. Just by looking at the picture you can already tell why this lake is considered one of the earth’s coolest natural phenomena. The Spotted Lake is located between two valleys in British Columbia’s desert in Canada. All over the world, you can find some amazing natural phenomena, here is a list of the top 10 natural phenomena you didn’t know about: Spotted lake, Canada Photo by plumcollective-Instagram Lo and behold, the fish have been raining down ever since.The earth is such a special and unique planet, it holds a lot of undiscovered secrets and mysteries.

However, locals still stick by their own explanation – a priest named José Manuel Subirana visited Honduras in the 19th century and was greatly moved by the poverty he saw there, whereupon he prayed for three days and three nights for a miracle to feed the poor. Another theory is that the fish live in underground rivers and come up to the surface, rather than falling from the sky. To deepen the mystery yet further, the fish are of a kind not found in any of the surrounding bodies of water, making the meteorological explantion of strong winds transporting them unlikely. People then take them home and cook them. The downpour always accompanies a heavy storm, after which hundreds of fish are found littering the ground. It may sound like the stuff of magical realist novels, but for more than a century now witnesses have attested to the regular bout of unconventional weather, and the phenomenon has even inspired a local festival, the Festival de la Lluvia de Peces. February and March are the best time for visitors to trek into the forests and witness the clouds of butterflies for themselves, then realise with amazement that the swishing sound in the air is not the wind but the beating of millions of tiny wings.Įvery year between May and July in the Honduran department of Yoro, it inexplicably rains fish. It is surprisingly easy to see this phenomenon first hand owing to the butterflies’ remarkable precision and the long winter season that they spend in Mexico. The North American monarch is the only butterfly in the world to migrate in this way, and still a source of considerable bafflement to scientists. Once there, they blanket the trees and flood the sky in huge orange flocks. Amazingly, this yearly cycle spans the lifetimes of several generations of the intrepid insects, and yet without fail they manage to find the exact same forests near Michoacán, in the central Mexican state of Morelia, as their ancestors did in the years before. The migrating monarch butterflies of Mexico make an arduous journey each year: they come all the way from Canada, covering an impressive 1,500 miles.
