SEPERTI BERADA DI PLANET LAIN, seperti itulah yang akan anda rasakan jika mengunjungi tempat ini, karena suasana nya yang sangat jauh berbeda, berikut adalahh
Di lepas pantai di Palau Koror, Jellyfish Lake adalah salah satu dari 70 danau air asin yang pernah terhubung dengan Samudera Pasifik. Danau yang 12.000 tahun dan berisi spesies ubur-ubur Ubur-ubur bernama Emas. Untuk alasan kita mungkin tidak sepenuhnya mengerti, ubur-ubur bermigrasi melintasi danau sekali setiap hari. Tidak ada scuba diving diperbolehkan tetapi perenang snorkel melaporkan bahwa keindahan migrasi ini adalah luar biasa.
Ada misteri, namun, yang melekat pada ubur-ubur saat mereka meninggal benar-benar off di danau pada tahun 1998 dengan populasi nol. Pada tahun 2000, secara misterius muncul kembali dan ilmuwan tidak bias menjelaskan.
- CANO CRISTALES

Bahkan, Anda dapat menyeberangi sungai ini beberapa ratus kali dalam setahun dan tidak pernah tahu itu dari salah satu sungai lainnya di hutan luas dekat Macarena. Namun, jika Anda tidak tahu lebih baik dan yang tersandung pada sungai ini selama periode singkat antara musim hujan dan kering, Anda benar-benar akan berhenti, mulut ternganga tak percaya.

- MUD VOLCANOES AZERBAIJAN
Bozdagh, Azerbaijan
Dari udara, gunung berapi lumpur Azerbaijan terlihat seperti kuali penyihir raksasa, menggelegak jauh pada beberapa lanskap asing dikutuk. Mini-gunung berapi, beberapa setinggi 650 kaki di atas tanah, putar pantai Laut Kaspia ke tempat yang sangat berbahaya.Sebuah penuh 300 700 bumi gunung berapi lumpur dapat ditemukan di sini, jutaan mendepak meter kubik gas hidrokarbon ke atmosfir. Mereka juga melemparkan lumpur ratusan kaki di udara. Jika planet bumi bisa kentut, ini adalah tempat itu akan terjadi.
Pada tahun 2001, saksi melihat api mengeluarkan lebih dari 50 kaki dan gunung lumpur masih menyemburkan api tiga hari kemudian. Meskipun bahaya, orang dari klaim wilayah yang lumpur telah menyembuhkan para pencari properti kesehatan mendorong seluruh dunia untuk membuat perjalanan ke tempat asing-seperti untuk mandi di lumpur.

- DARAH TERJUN
McMurdo, Antartika
Lembah Kering McMurdo di Antartika merupakan salah satu tempat paling terpencil dan paling keras di dunia. Tidak ada yang dapat bertahan hidup di tempat suhu bawah nol dan angin dingin, atau jadi kami pikir. Kemudian kami melihat cairan darah merah mengalir dari Taylor Glacier ke Danau Bonney. Ini hampir seolah-olah raksasa yang terluka gletser dengan tombak dan itu adalah pendarahan dari luka. Setelah pemeriksaan lebih dekat, penjelajah ilmiah membuat salah satu penemuan paling mengejutkan di zaman kita. Di tempat sepi dan asing-seperti yang begitu keras, tidak ada yang dapat bertahan hidup kami menemukan kehidupan purba. Bahwa "darah" yang merembes dari gletser terluka adalah barang yang hidup itu adalah dari. Tempat lain di planet kita, jutaan tahun yang lalu, bentuk kehidupan pertama merangkak keluar dari jenis yang sama dari kolam purba.
So how does the basic, building block foundation of life survive for so long in conditions so contrary to it? How could it survive in conditions so bad that we would never think to look for it? We still do not have a definite answer. What we do have is a new question. If a basic form of life can form and survive in this hostile place, could it also be present on another planet? I do not know, but i know an interesting and beautiful place when i see one. What scientists found is startling in that there is a living microbial ecosystem in a place where there is no oxygen. These microbes have devised a way to survive through manipulation of iron and sulfur compounds. While this should be impossible, scientist are considering the possibility of the first known form of life that can “carbonize” iron. These tiny microbes are “Fixing” the carbon dioxide that iron produces. The term “Fixing” means that they can convert carbon dioxide to organic molecules to be consumed, making them the most efficient CO2 fixers on the planet. The possibilities that arise from studying this process are as far reaching as anything ever discovered before. This is especially true if we could find a way to duplicate it.
- PAMUKKALE WATER TERRACES
Denizli, Turkey
Hierapolis, Turkey is a renewed ancient city that was built from the ground up to accommodate Romans seeking the healing waters of the Cotton Castle, the name given to this weird and wonderful rock formation and ancient ruins. Looking at it, you would think you were deep in the Antarctic. So blindingly white are the rocks.
The Romans used the city and spa as a healing place. The world almost lost this rare wonder to neglect but fortunately, the cascading pools of white were restored to health by the locals. The water cascades down and forms bright white formations and pools that are only found in a couple of places on our planet, one of which has been destroyed by earthquake. Hot springs rich in calcium form and continue to feed the oyster shaped pools. It truly looks like something from another planet.
- THE DEVIL’S POSTPILE
California, USA
Mammoth Mountain in Madera County California is the home of Devil Postpile National Monument. Like an alien landscape, this columnar basalt cliff appears out of place from the rest of what used to be part of the Yosemite National Park lands.
This strange formation was made by a lava flow that pooled to 400 feet and slowly seeped out. Then, amazingly, a glacier slowly moved through and polished the columns. The strange, alien-like structure was almost destroyed twice. Once during blasting for gold in the 1800s and then when a hydroelectric plant was scheduled to be built there. Walter L. Huber persuaded President Taft to declare the Devil’s Postpile a National Monument in 1911 and saved it for us.
If you cannot make the trip to California, several of the Devil’s Postpile stones grace the entrance of the US Geological Survey Headquarters in Reston, Virginia.
- SOCOTRA ISLAND
Yemen
Socotra is located in Muhafazat Hadramawt, Yemen, which actually sounds alien-like, is a very weird and alien looking island. Part of an archipelago or chain of islands, this one makes every effort to impress. The trees on the island look like big ugly umbrella stands or as if gravity has forgotten how to work correctly. One of the reasons it looks so alien is that a full third of its plant life cannot be found anywhere else on the entire planet.
Two oddities make this island standout. First, it is considered the most isolated landform that is not of volcanic origin on earth. The second is that it is an island surrounded by water with a climate that is classified as a desert. It is part of a three island group but the two sister islands are uninhabitable by man. Seagulls thrive on the sisters. It is almost as if three pieces of an alien planet fell from space and landed there off the horn of Africa.
To make the point more poignant, the umbrella looking trees seep blood red sap and are called, you guessed it, the dragon’s blood tree.
- FLY RANCH GEYSER
Nevada, USA
What do you get when accidentally dig a well on top of a geothermal water pocket? Fly Ranch Geyser looks like a colorful mini-mountain from a space movie because it sits in the middle of a Nevada Ranch. The ranch is dreary and colorless as you drive down route 447 until suddenly, one third of a mile off the road this weird, eerily formed rock juts from the landscape spewing water in tree directions for dozens of feet. The amazing colors from the water minerals are what get your attention because you have been driving in Nevada, which is not a very colorful trip.
The owner of the ranch is not interested in tourism and keeps a fence with a locked gate there to keep visitors from gathering. No Trespassing signs are posted but people are just as likely to jump the fence for a closer look, as not. The well was dug 1916 for irrigation purposes but sometime in the 60′s, the natural geothermal reservoir found a weak spot and 200 degree water carrying Sulphureus minerals began spewing forth, making the well a man made geyser. Now a little over five feet high and twelve feet across, it appear to be something from another planet.
The water created a marshy area with plant life and looks so out of place that you just cannot miss it from the road.
- WAVE ROCK
Arizona, USA
The wave can only be described as a hallucination set in stone. If this is not the exact replica of some alien landscape, I will eat my hat. The lines and curves formed from 190 million of years of wind blown sand and rushing water over sandstone turned to rock will make you dizzy and you have to make a real effort not to fall flat on your face. You actually have to play the lottery to get a ticket to see it and only twenty people are allowed to walk on its delicate surface per day. Even the photographs, which will never do the place justice, will make you dizzy if you stare at them. Being in the Wave Rocks of Arizona is like walking in a dizzy dream.
The funny part is that most Americans do not know about them or do not care. The majority of the visitors are European.
- LENA’S STONE PILLARS
Siberia
This completely alien-like place of beauty may as well be on another planet. There is only one way to get to it and that involves a first leg flight from Moscow that is so long you could actually fly the same distance in the opposite direction to reach New York. Then you have to take a boat. The entire trip takes three to four days to complete but if you are into seeing things that the majority of the world’s population will never lay eyes on outside of a photograph, then it is well worth it. With no competing airlines, you can imagine the price they charge to get you there. From the air, Lena’s Stone Pillars, also called Lena’s stone forest, is so breathtaking as to leave you speechless. It literally looks like the rocks decided that they wanted to be trees and stood up next to the forest by the river. It is a truly amazing sight. The stone forest lines part of the bank of the River Lena, the largest river in Northern Siberia. It is considered to be a vital area for fossils and evidence of early man.
