However, then we were talking about the most famous places, which, despite their originality, are well known and popular to everyone. Today we will talk about those corners of the planet, most of which are incredibly difficult to get to.

Rocks of Kasha-Katuwe

This unusual rock formation is located in New Mexico and was created by nature about seven million years ago. Volcanic ash, erosion and weathering have led to the formation of such unusual tent mountains.

An unusual creation of nature, the Kasha-Katuwe rock

The rocks have a rather interesting altitudinal variety, which rises to a height of thirty meters with pointed peaks like tourist tents or Indian wigwams. This formation of Kasha-Katuve received its name from the area in which they are located and translated as “White Rocks”.

Volcanoes are those natural formations that always attract lovers thrills. However, they are one of the most inaccessible places on earth, and if you add to this place the difficult Antarctic climate, it turns out that the ice towers and caves of Erebus are an unattainable dream for most tourists.

The icy splendor of Mount Erebus

However, the most interesting tourist place is not even the peaks of the Erebus volcano themselves, which rise up 4 kilometers, but lava lake volcano and ice caves on its slopes. The lava in this lake is unique and cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

In addition to the caves, another one of most interesting phenomena are ice chimneys on the slopes of the volcano. They are formed during the process of exiting underground caves warm air vapors, which, in contact with the forty-degree frosty Antarctic climate, build up these chimneys.

Ice chimneys - the splendor of Mount Erebus

Philippine Eighth Wonder of the World - Rice Terraces

Twenty years ago, this man-made beauty of human hands was listed World Heritage UNESCO. And now the rice terraces are a vivid example of how nature helps a person with due respect for it on the part of that person.

The Eighth Wonder of the World - Banaue Rice Terraces

Some of Banaue's rice terraces are believed to be about six thousand years old. The most interesting thing about them is not even that they total area more than 10,000 square kilometers and if they could be placed one after another, they would occupy half globe, but the fact that they are all handmade and completely made by hand.

Another interesting feature of this most interesting place on earth is the original irrigation system - fresh water enters the terraces using ancient irrigation methods directly from tropical forests, which are located higher in the mountains. And if we take into account the fact that all the Banaue rice terraces were created at an altitude of one and a half kilometers, then they can definitely be equated to a new wonder of the world.

Wonder of the world with a thousand-year history

Moreover, all these terraces not only do not disfigure the Philippine Cordillera, but, on the contrary, faithfully repeat all their bends, emphasizing the splendor and beauty of the majestic mountain ranges. This miracle now attracts thousands of tourists who want to look not only at the delicate greenery of the rice plantations, but also to follow the work of local residents who are still growing rice according to the traditions of the ancient tribe of rice farmers.

Lena Pillars - a monument to wild and majestic nature

This unique natural formation is located in Yakutia along the banks of the majestic Siberian Lena River. Along many kilometers coastline The rocks stretched upward, called the Lena Pillars, look down on everyone. Now the Lena Pillars are not just unusual mountain formations, but an entire natural park that stretches along the Lena River for as much as 200 kilometers.

Lena Pillars - a monument of the Cambrian era

An unusual park of Early Cambrian deposits

It is worth noting that not only the beauty and monumentality of the Pillars is unique, but also their geological structure, which dates back to the Early Cambrian period in the history of the Earth. At this time, the first skeletal animals appeared on our planet, and it was in the rocks of the Lena Pillars that scientists discovered the burial of representatives of numerous species of mammoths and the imprints of such a unique example of the Cambrian fauna as epiphyton algae.

Horseshoe Caldera in Scotland

The Glencoe Valley, which is located in the northern part of Great Britain, is rightfully considered one of the most picturesque and memorable places on British Isles. It stretches for 16 kilometers in the crater ancient volcano and has unique monuments nature and history.

It is the mountains that attract mountaineering and alpine skiing. In addition, this place is notorious for its events four centuries ago, during which the Jacobin uprising was brutally suppressed on the slopes of the valley. Recent events gave rise to another name for the valley - “Valley of Tears”.

The enchanting beauty of the Glencoe Valley

Interesting place - Indian Park "Valley of Flowers"

Along the western slopes of the Himalayas, on an area of ​​90 square kilometers, is the Indian National Park “Valley of Flowers”. At the same time, the valley of flowers itself, which gave the park its name, is only a fifth part.

At an altitude of 3.5-4 kilometers above sea level, you can see an area eight kilometers long and two kilometers wide. This is where you can see something unique a natural phenomenon– about six hundred representatives of alpine, subalpine and high-mountain fauna grow in the protected area of ​​the valley. Moreover, some of their representatives, such as the blue poppy or the Himalayan maple, can only be seen in this valley.

Desert miracle of the USA - Lechuguia Cave

In the USA there is amazing creation nature. Of course, there are many places in the world where nature has created bizarre underground passages, but Lechuguia especially stands out from ordinary caves with its gigantic volumes. Now we can say with confidence that this cave is the deepest on the American continent. The cave descends underground to a depth of up to 500 meters, and total length its underground passages exceed 150 kilometers.

It is especially worth noting the ecosystem of the cave - it is “thanks to” it that there are no usual routes for tourists in Lechuga and only researchers have access to the dungeons. This ecosystem is unique in that in the underground passages and grottos of the cave there is a special world that is virtually completely isolated from the outside world, sunlight and everything that is on the surface of the Earth.

Moreover, during the research, it turned out that some inhabitants of the underground world literally eat the vaults of the cave. For them, the chemical elements contained there are a source of energy that allows them to exist.

Another interesting fact. Before the discovery of this cave 30 years ago, the world in it was literally preserved for almost a hundred million years.

Krubera-Voronya Cave - a quick path to the bowels of the earth

In Abkhazia there is a cave that is considered the deepest in the world today. It is now reliably known that the depth of this cave extends for almost two kilometers. And although there is no “direct exit” to the underground kingdom, unlike the Lechugia cave, since its height is located in the mountains at a level of 2256 meters, the path itself, more than two kilometers long, is in itself a unique natural phenomenon.

The cave was discovered more than fifty years ago in the Orto-Balagan tract, and for a long time it was considered superficial with a depth of up to one hundred meters. Until numerous expeditions began to explore it, each of which, having reached 210, 340, 710 meters, did not declare the end of the passages. All this continued until seven years ago a group of speleologists managed to reach a depth of 2196 meters.

This cave has its second nickname. Due to the large number of crows nesting there, it is also called the Crow. Moreover, unlike the above-mentioned Lechugia, this cave has many tourist routes and anyone can admire her beauty

Fairyland of elves - Plitvice Lakes

In the central part of Croatia there is a beautiful oasis with “devilish forests” and a complex of lakes and waterfalls that create a truly fabulous landscape. On the territory of this high-mountain valley, as many as 16 lakes with fantastically blue water and magnificent roaring waterfalls have formed.

The territory of this reserve is divided into two parts with upper and lower lakes, connected by magnificent cascades of waterfalls. Moreover, no one knows the exact number of these waterfalls, since every year nature creates new cascades.

All this happens thanks to complete non-interference in the ecosystem of the lakes and all the sticks and branches that fall into the water are never removed from it, and subsequently they petrify under the influence of limestone and become a barrier to the water, forming a new cascade of waterfalls. This amount of limestone not only forms fancy growths and calcium deposits, but gives the water a delightful blue appearance with a greenish tint.

At the junction of two Latin American countries - Brazil and Argentina, nature has created real beauty - the cascade of Iguazu Falls. This system of 275 small and large waterfalls, which stretches for three kilometers, is considered the most powerful in the world. The largest waterfall was nicknamed the devil's throat by the Spanish conquistadors for its power and unusual U-shape.

The majesty of the waterfall is fully revealed during the rainy season from November to March, when the water flow is so large that the rate of its discharge reaches thirteen thousand cubic meters of water per second.
