Glass Beach, USA
Glass Beach in California has undergone a natural transformation from a century-old dumping site for trash to a treasure chest of jewel-like pebbles.

The huge tides of the ocean transformed the junk into beautiful pebbles illustrating the incredible ability of nature.
Pink Lake, Australia
Lake Hillier in Australia is admired for its bubblegum-pink color of the water due to the presence of algae named Dunaliella Salina and Halobacteria.

This saltwater lake is not ideal for swimming but its beauty can be admired through helicopter rides to get an aerial view.
Pamukkale, Turkey
Pamukkale in Turkey is popular for its snowy-white landscape due to the deposition of calcium carbonate from hot springs that are flowing for more than a thousand years. The gleaming white calcite terraces, flowing with mineral-rich, warm water offers therapeutic benefits.
Stone Forest, China
The Stone Forest in the Yunnan province of China is eminent for its stunning stone topography, scattered across 300sq km. Water and soil erosion accompanied by seismic activities have carved this unusually astonishing natural formation, featured with caves, waterfall, and intricate rivers.
Christ of the Abyss, Italy
