Seriously weird places around the world
Pamukkale, Turkey
Pamukkale takes in the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, the once great city that was built around it. Water cascades from natural springs and down the white travertine terraces and forms stunning thermal pools perfect for a quick dip.
Spotted Lake,
British Columbia, Canada
Spotted Lake has long been revered by the native Okanagan (Syilx)
people and it’s easy to see why they think of it as sacred. In the summer the
water of the lake evaporates and small mineral pools are left behind, each one
different in colour to the next. The unique lake can be viewed on Highway 3,
northwest of the small town of Osoyoos.
The Giant’s Causeway, Northern
Ireland
Sixty million years ago a huge volcanic eruption spewed out a mass of
molten basalt, which then solidified and contracted as it cooled, creating the
cracks that can be seen today. There are an estimated 37,000 polygon columns at
this
World Heritage Site, so geometrically perfect that
local legend has it they were created by a giant.
