Nature is magical and charming, and the beautiful scenery created by mother nature can make people spend their whole lives to find. This article introduce you to the nine natural landscapes in the world. If you have the opportunity to visit all of them all, this life will be worthy!
1. Pulpit Rock (Norway)
Number one is the Pulpit Rock in Norway! It is a symbol of the Norwegian fjord landscape, the 604-meter-high Pulpit Rock is a cliff wall that cuts straight into the fjord. Standing on the top of the stone and overlooking, you can enjoy the excellent scenery, the rolling hills, the winding fjords, and the intoxicating cruise ships floating in the fjords are really more than magnificent. But there are no safety measures such as guardrails, so be careful if you have acrophobia.
2. Stone Waves at Marble Canyon (USA)
Located on the border of Arizona and Utah, Stone Wave looks like it's somewhere on Mars. Luckily, this place that you can't help but marvel at exists in our world. Over millions of years, these red sandstone formations have been changing, creating bizarre formations as if drawn with a paintbrush. Such beauty is prized, and for conservation reasons, only 20 visitors a day are allowed here. If you can't snag a ticket, Arizona's Marble Canyon and Antelope Canyon also offer natural beauty to visit.
3. Geirangerfjord and Nairuifjord (Norway)
Someone once said that if you only have the chance to visit a fjord once in your life, it must be the Geirangerfjord and Nairuifjord in Norway. They are the longest and deepest fjords in the world, with high vertical cliffs, deep waters and dizzying waterfalls. Both fjords have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The cause of the fjord is that millions of years ago, the glaciers melted and moved towards the ocean. In the process, a huge force was generated, which cut the valley into a U shape and formed the fjord where the sea water poured back.
4. Cracked Apple Rock (New Zealand)
A particularly interesting set of rocks is located in the Abel-Tasman National Park in the Tasman region of southern New Zealand. Standing high in the waters of Tasman Bay, it looks especially like a cracked apple, so people named this group of rocks the cracked apple rocks. The crack in the middle of the rock is particularly flat, as if it was deliberately split with an axe, but it is indeed a masterpiece of nature's magic.
5. Devil's Tower (USA)
On an almost flat piece of land in the northeastern corner of Wyoming, USA, stands a huge rock with a height of 264 meters, which people named Devil's Tower. So far, no one has been able to explain how this behemoth came to be, and some speculate that it was a supernatural phenomenon that was left on Earth by aliens.
6. Giant's Causeway (Northern Ireland)
Located on the northwest coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, the Giant's Causeway is made up of 40,000 basalt pillars that are tightly packed together, the result of volcanic activity more than 60 million years ago. The legend of the Giant's Causeway goes like this: An Irish giant named Finn McCool set fire to the Scottish giant Benandonner and threw a pile of stones into the sea. Hence the Giant's Causeway!
7. Waitomo Cave (New Zealand)
Waitomo Cave in New Zealand are about a hundred years old. There are all kinds of stalactites and stalagmites in the cave, and thousands of fireflies are dotted on it, making the whole cave shining and shining like stars, attracting tourists who need to come to watch.
8. Sea of Stars (Maldives)
Although the Maldives is the smallest country in Asia, it has very rich tourism resources. One of the most famous scenery is the sea of stars on the island, which looks like a starry night sky, like a scene in a fairy tale. But it is actually caused by some blue-emitting plankton on the sea floor. It is said that many people come to the Maldives to see the sea of stars.
9. Pamukkale (Turkey)
The most beautiful karst landform in the world is located in the north of the city of Deniseli, Turkey. There are hills like cotton, and everything around it looks almost white, so people call it Pamukkale. There are natural hot springs with a history of thousands of years here, which attract many tourists from all over the world. At present, Pamukkale has become one of the top ten hot springs in the world.
