TOP 10 PLACES YOU SHOULD VISIT IN THE WORLD

TOP 10 PLACES YOU SHOULD VISIT IN THE WORLD

#10. SON DOONG CAVE ,VIETNAM :

A massive cave recently uncovered in a remote Vietnamese jungle is the largest single cave passage yet found, a new survey shows. At 262-by-262 feet (80-by-80 meters) in most places, the SON DOONG cave beats out the previous world-record holder, Deer Cave in the Malaysian section of the island of Borneo. Deer Cave is no less than 300-by-300 feet (91-by-91 meters), but it's only about a mile (1.6 kilometers) long. By contrast, explorers walked 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) into SON DOONG , in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, before being blocked by seasonal flood-waters and they think that the passage is even longer.

In addition, for a couple of miles SON DOONG reaches more than 460-by-460 feet (140-by-140 meters), said Adam Spillane, a member of the British Cave Research Association expedition that explored the massive cavern. Spillane was in the first of two groups to enter the cave. His team followed the passage as far as a 46-foot-high (14-meter-high) wall. "The second team that went in got flooded out," he said. "We're going back next year to climb that wall and explore the cave further."

#9. WHITE HAVEN BEACH ,AUSTRALIA :

WHITE HAVEN BEACH is a 7km stretch along Whitsunday Island,. The island is accessible by boat from the mainland tourist ports of Airlie Beach and Shute Harbour, as well as Hamilton Island. It lies across from Chalkie's Beach on Haslewood Island.The WHITEHAVEN Beach Ocean Swim is a 2km open swimming competition held on the beach in November each year since 2009 as part of the Hamilton Island Triathlon. The 2012 event was held on 11 November 2012.

The beach was awarded Queensland's Cleanest Beach in Keep Australia Beautiful's 2008 Clean Beach Challenge State Awards. In July 2010, WHITEHAVEN Beach was named the top Eco Friendly Beach in the world by CNM. Dogs are not permitted on the beach and cigarette smoking is prohibited.WHITEHAVEN Beach is known for its white sands. It has a beautiful scenery and the sand consists of 98% pure silica which gives it a bright white color. Local rocks do not contain silica so it has been suggested that the sands were brought to the beach via prevailing sea currents over millions of years.Unlike regular sand, the sand on WHITEHAVEN Beach does not retain heat making it comfortable to walk barefoot on a hot day. This sand is also very fine, and can damage electronic equipment such as telephones and cameras, although it is good at polishing up jewellery.

#8. THE CRACK OF SILFRA:

The rift sits in the gap between the North American and Eurasian continental plates, where an imperfect seam allows explorers into the watery depths an opportunity to dive towards the center of the Earth. The clear waters of BINGVALLAVATN Lake in the BINGVELLIR National Park attract divers from around the globe to experience the unique feeling of diving between worlds, where visibility is often as good as 300 feet between lava-rock cliffs. 

Even the waters in SILFRA are unique. Since no rivers flow into BINGVALLAVATN Lake the water actually gets slowly extruded through the porous tectonic rock beneath the water’s surface. This process filters the water and not only accounts for the lake’s incredible clarity but also makes the lake mostly safe to drink. Pushing water through stone is not very quick no matter how porous the rock, so it takes between 50-100 years for the liquid to become part of the lake. Each drop of water in SILFRA is likely over a century old. Photos of SILFRA abound and even amateur divers and photographers find that their experience between the plates is like nothing else on Earth or in its waters.

 

#7. THE GREAT CANYON ,ARIZONA :

The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the state of Arizona in the United States. It is contained within and managed by Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, the Havasupai people and the Navajo Nation. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.

The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters). Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists,Several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it.The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was Garca Lopez de Cirdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.

#6. ANTELOPE CANYON ,ARIZONA :

Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as "Upper Antelope Canyon" or "The Crack"; and "Antelope Canyon" or "The Corkscrew".The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Which means "the place where water runs through rocks." Lower Antelope Canyon or "spiral rock arches." Both are located within the LECHEE Chapter of the Navajo Nation.

Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone,primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes in the rock.Flooding in the canyon still occurs. A flood occurred on October 30, 2006, that lasted 36 hours, and caused the Tribal Park Authorities to close Lower Antelope Canyon for five months.

#5. SALAR DE UYUNI ,BOLIVIA :

SALAR DE UYUNI (or SALAR DE TUNUPA) is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq mi). It is located in the Daniel Campos Province in Potosí in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes and is at an altitude of 3,656 meters (11,995 ft) above sea level.The SALAR was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes. It is covered by a few meters of salt crust, which has an extraordinary flatness with the average altitude variations within one meter over the entire area of the SALAR. The crust serves as a source of salt and covers a pool of brine, which is exceptionally rich in lithium. It contains 50 to 70% of the world's lithium reserves, which is in the process of being extracted. The large area, clear skies, and the exceptional flatness of the surface make the SALAR an ideal object for calibrating the altimeters of Earth observation satellites.

The SALAR serves as the major transport route across the Bolivian Altiplano and is a major breeding ground for several species of flamingos. SALAR DE UYUNI is also a climatological transitional zone since the towering tropical cumulus congestus and cumulonimbus incus clouds that form in the eastern part of the salt flat during the summer cannot permeate beyond its drier western edges, near the Chilean border and the Atacama Desert.

#4. MENDENHALL ICE CAVES :

The MENDENHALL Glacier is a 12-mile-long glacier in the MENDENHALL Valley, located only 12 miles from downtown Juneau in Southeast Alaska. Federally protected as part of the MENDENHALL GALCIER Recreation Area, a unit of the TONGASS National Forest, the glacier originally had two names, Sitaantaagu (“Glacier Behind the Town”) and Aak’wtaaksit (“Glacier Behind the Little Lake”). The Ice Caves are inside the glacier, accessible only to those willing to kayak to, and then ice climb over the glacier. However, the glacier is retreating increasingly fast as global warming heats the oceans and temperatures rise. 

Monitored since 1942 by the Juneau Ice-field Research Program, the MENDENHALL Glacier has receded almost two miles since 1958, while previously it had receded only 0.5 miles since 1500. The caves are in part a function of this increased glacial melting.Images of the caves circulate the internet with such captions as “otherworldly” and “surreal,” but “melting” and “fleeting” could be used as well, as this glacier creates incredible new landscapes while we watch it melt away.

 

#3. NORTHEN LIGHTS ,ALASKA/NORWAY :

The Northern Lights usually circle the globe in a circular or elliptical "oval" centered on the earth's North Magnetic Pole, which is not at the same location as the North Geographic Pole, but rather is slightly offset in the direction of northern Canada. This oval is known as the "AURORAL oval". AURORAL displays aren't strongest at the North Magnetic Pole; the area of greatest AURORAL activity is usually right under the AURORAL oval, which changes dynamically according to how the solar wind is flowing on any particular night. The AURORAL oval, meaning the area with the highest probability of seeing the northern lights, covers most of Alaska, northern parts of Canada, the southern half of Greenland, Iceland, Northern Norway, Sweden and Finland. As well as the western half of the Russian north (with the Kola Peninsula of Murmansk Oblast being the most popular viewing spot).

Regions such as central and southern Scandinavia and the north-central United States as well as Scotland also occasionally see the Northern Lights during periods of high geomagnetic activity when the AURORAL oval expands further south than usual. Svalbard, which is about half way between continental Europe and the north pole, actually sees less Northern Lights than Northern Scandinavia (despite being so far north). But it is a great place to observe the fainter Day Northern Lights during its long Polar night and is a good choice during the solar minimum part of the solar cycle. A curiosity is that the exact location of the North Magnetic Pole varies from year to year, sometimes by tens of miles. The magnetic pole has been moving for a MILLENIA and more. But it is only the past few hundred years we (or ancient mariners to be precise) have tracked it's movement in order to correctly calibrate their ships compasses. As of 2006; it's now near Ellesmere Island in the nearly uninhabited far north of Canada. As a consequence, the advantages of being on the "right side" of the earth are not as pronounced as they were some years ago. Still, there's a slight North American bias even today in your chance of seeing the Lights.

This said, the actual latitudes of the Lights vary considerably. In times of high solar activity (more on that later), the Lights may be seen in North America at latitudes as low as 35 degrees north, the time to see the lights is 6pm to 1am meaning that all but the southernmost parts of the United States may get a display. The offset of the Pole keeps solar storms from benefiting Europe quite as strongly, but most of the countries of northern Europe will get displays during periods of solar storms. 

#2. SEA OF STARS ,MALDIVES :

VAADHOO Island is one of the popular group of islands which are considered as the heaven on Earth.This island has lots of surprises,specialties which are revealed at night time.The splendid water in the sea just looks like a reflection in the mirror reflecting the stars sparkling from above the sky.The VAADHOO  Island is located on the equator to the south west of SRI LANKA in Indian Ocean of Maldives which is a unique place for an unforgettable experience which is inhabited in the RAA Atoll Island.This contains of many  number of islets which spreads over 900,000 square kilometers and they are decorated with white sand and surrounded  by  warm waters with rich marine life.This island has a beach which is famous through out the world for its glow in the dark.This is an spectacular scenery to watch which may never disappoint the visitors in Maldives.These beaches are the main reason that this country has been considered as one of the hottest tourist destination in the world.

  The Sea of Stars is just such a rare sight to view from the shore.Also,some organisms under the sea also glow due to this mainly some creatures which live at depths where light from the surface has less chance to penetrate there.Every wave coming to the shore is lit up like lighting sheets.The view may look like an alien has washed up on a beach but the case is entirely different as it is a natural phenomena.When people walk across the sand near the shore of the sea,due to the pressure,the light glows in shore also which gives an amazing feeling.

#1. THE SWING AT THE ‘END OF THE WORLD ‘ ,ECUDOR :

Deep in the Ecuadorian wilderness is a seismic monitoring station in a tree known as CASA DEL ARBOL. Its purpose is observe Mt. TUNGURAHUA, the nearby active volcano, from its precarious perch. While the TREEHOUSE itself is a sight to behold, the real attraction is the crude swing hanging from one of the tree’s skinny branches.With no harness, net, or any other safety feature the swing (nothing more than a plank suspended by two ropes) arcs riders out into the air over the canyon. It is unclear where the swing came from - perhaps it was set up by a whimsical seismologist. 

Adventurous swingers of all ages are welcome to take a ride at the end of the world, but at their own discretion. 

THAT'S ALL GUYZ PLZZ FOLLOW AND COMMENT,
STAY TUNED FOR TOMORROW  ,PEACE
