The waterfalls can also be considered the most beautiful gifts of nature and this Romanian waterfall, named "Bigar Waterfall", is one of the most spectacular and unique waterfalls in the world. It is also called "the miracle from the Minis Canyon" by the locals. Falling from a height of almost eight meters, this waterfall falls over an unusual and dramatic green carpet of moss, and which is located in the Anina Mountains on the Mini River. Its water does not fall directly like the normal waterfall, but it falls in a rounded shape because below is the face of a cave, due to which it falls in the shape of a circle which seems very attractive to see. There is a lot of greenery all around it which makes it even more beautiful. Its special feature is that the speed of its water flow is not much like other waterfalls, but its water flows slowly in thin streams so that you can go near it without any danger. This waterfall is quite silent but very beautiful, it is considered to be the most beautiful natural place in Romania.
Amsterdam is famous for many things, but you might not know that one of the world's most popular museums is in Amsterdam, known as Electric Ladyland Museum, a museum of Fluorescent Art under ultraviolet light. This art gallery is built in the basement of Electric Ladyland Museum, in which you will get to see both fabulous natural and artificial built materials, which glow in response to ultraviolet light. Earlier, people used to use Fluorescent material for entertainment as well, because then today's entertainment items were not available. Here you will also get to see the history of fluorescence and the magical tricks related to them will also be shown to you. Currently, there is no other museum like this on our planet, then going here will be a different experience for you.
Sima Humboldt
Also known as Sima Mayor, It is an enormous sinkhole that is built in the BolÃvar State of Venezuela. This sinkhole is so big that if you look in from the outside, then you will feel that it is a place leading to the center of the earth. No one in the world knew about this sinkhole until 1961, as it was first spotted in 1961 by pilot Harry Gibson. It has a depth of 1,030 feet and a maximum width of 1,155 ft at its upper rim and 1,647 ft below. There is also another small sinkhole near this sinkhole which is 2000 feet away from it and these sinkholes have been found on the summit of the plateau of Sarisarinama tepui. This sinkhole is so big that it has its own ecosystem, in fact, it also has its own forest, if you go inside it, you will get to see very beautiful views inside its forest.
The Prison Boab Tree
This is a home-looking tree in Western Australia, 6 kilometers south of Derby, its trunk is quite thick and large hollow, allowing humans to live in it. It is believed that in the 1890s this place has also been used as a prison. This tree is also called the Derby prison tree. It is a very old tree, according to scientists, this tree is 1,500-year-old and its trunk is 50 feet wide which is almost as wide as a normal room. In a painting of the 1940s, this tree was shown as a prison, since then it was said that it must have been used as a prison in the past. Currently, it has become a popular tourist attraction in Australia and such trees are also considered sacred among a tribal group here. Somewhere human bones have also been found inside such trees.
Kannesteinen Rock
Also known as Mushroom Rock, this Mushroom-like structure in Norway, can look beautiful to anyone, but nature has created this unique structure, not humans. For thousands of years, strong winds and ocean waves have given this rock a mushroom-like appearance. Some people call it the shape of the mushroom, while others think of it as the shape of the heart. Even though it is thinner from the bottom, but still it is so strong that many people can stand on it at once, making no damage to it. But if you climbed this rock during low tide and then stayed on it for so long that the time of high tide started, then you can get stuck on it because then there will be too much water around. The way this rock has become thinner, according to experts, there will be a time when this rock will break and fall into the water. But there are many years left for this time to come, so you can go to this place right now by being tension free.
Cave pearls
Pearls are not only found in the sea, you can also find beautiful pearls in the cave due to a geological phenomenon. These pearls are usually formed by a concretion of calcium salts that form concentric layers around a nucleus and become smooth and shiny due to the movement of water over time. These pearls look very beautiful to see, if you want to see a good collection of such cave pearls in a natural form then you have to visit Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. By visiting here, you will get a chance to see these caves through the guided tours. Earlier in this place, every single pearl was given to tourists as a gift, but now it is no longer done.
Kamokuna (Hawaii)
You may find it strange to see because it seems that these are the twisted bodies of many human beings that are being thrown into the fire. But in reality, it is an optical illusion, it was not made by humans, rather it is a pattern of lava formed on the rocks. If you look into it clearly, you will see a large amount of hot lava below, and therefore, some people even say that it looks like it is a portal to hell because many people are falling into it. But the real thing is that due to the flow of lots of lava, such odd patterns have been formed on the rocks that look like the shape of humans.

This temple is built in the Ahmednagar district of India and is considered quite mysterious. The temple has a big Shiva Linga whose height is five feet from the base, and which is completely surrounded by water. It is a quite ancient temple famous mainly for its pillars built around the Shiva Linga to support the cave, three out of the four pillars are broken, while only one is left, the other three pillars are hanging in the air. During the rains, the cave is completely filled with water, but even after the end of the rainy season, one or two feet deep water always remains in the temple which is also quite cold. There are many beliefs about this temple among people living near or far.
Inverted Cone-Shaped Structures
Singapore is particularly known for its amazing architecture which has many beautiful structures, there is one such structure that is not very famous but it should have been famous. This is a fairly futuristic structure located near Tampines Road. These inverted cone-shaped structures are actually water storage tanks made of concrete, used to hold 8,448 cubic meters of Newater (water recycled from waste treated to become drinking quality water) each. When you get a glimpse of them, they appear to be two giant UFOs, resting on a grassy slope and waiting to take off at any time. Measuring 43m in diameter at the top, these elevated water tanks, make up the Tampines Newater Service Reservoir, maintained by the national water agency PUB (Public Utilities Board).

This dangerous volcano exists in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which has erupted at least 34 times since 1882. It is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Smoke always continues to release from it and the world's voluminous lava lake is also in this volcano. Despite being so dangerous, many villages are still inhabited around this place. Apart from this, another dangerous fact about this volcano is that there are many similar rocks around this mountain on which lava moves much faster than other volcanoes, causing a great threat to human life. When it erupted in 1977, the speed of lava flow was about 100 km/h, that is, people had no time to run. But in spite of all this, it is quite an amazing place to explore and a lot of daring people keep coming here, but every single second, there remains a fear in the mind that it can erupt anytime.
