Geography Story: 9 places you absolutely have to see in your lifetime

All countries on our planet have interesting places to see. But some of them are so stunning you can’t believe they are real.

Let’s enjoy some great wonders of our planet.

#1 Catatumbo lightning, Venezuela

This spectacle inspires fear and admiration at the same time. This kind of lightning is a natural phenomenon that happens 200 nights a year. It feels like wrathful gods stab the sky. They might also remind a plasma lamp invented by Nikola Tesla.

#2 Nikola-Lenivets, Russia

A small village in Kaluga region became famous several years ago thanks to art installations. Now it is a large park of contemporary art.

#3 Skeleton Coast, Namibia

This desert reminds Bermuda: giant boulders, storms, and a cold wind. Just think – there are hundreds and thousands of once majestic ships lying buried here, in the sands and waters.

#4 Szimpla Kert, Hungary

Szimpla Kert is a 2-storied pub in Budapest. It was open as a place to have a cheap drink but became a great attraction for tourists. It is unique in any way.

There are a lot of halls in a dilapidated building with unusual installations. There can be up to 5000 people in a night, most of them are tourists.

#5 Pig Beach, the Bahamas

There is an inhabited island in the Caribbean Sea where only feral pigs live. Nobody knows for sure how these pigs managed to occupy the whole island. So, going to the Bahamas, don’t be surprised to meet swimming pigs (yes, they can swim!).

# 6 Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

You might think it is a frozen lake but it is not. This is a salt flat in a hot area of Bolivia.

It looks differently in different seasons: during the monsoon it look like a mirror; during the dry season it is covered with crusts and is pink at sunset.

#7 Hobbiton, Matamata, New Zealand

Fantastic nature of New Zealand is shown in the "Lord Of The Rings". Hobbiton was specially constructed for the movie.

After the premiere, it was transformed into a village. Tourists can visit this place but can't enter the houses.

#8 Valparaíso, Chile

This city in Latin America is very unique, colorful and poetic. Buildings are decorated with graffitis. The streets are like labyrinths. It is a perfect place for inspiration.

#9 Fly Geyser, Nevada, USA

Looks like a fairy-tale picture, doesn't it?
This amazing object appeared accidentally during well-drilling in 1964. Specialists were searching for the sources of geothermal energy but it was no success. However, the place was left as it was. Years after it became very colorful due to thermophilic algae. It is a must see place for sure!

Places in Africa like Danikil Depression in Ethiopia which is one of the lowest places on earth. Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe. Okavango Swamps in Botswana. And too many others to mention.

Norma Monserrat Sapaula, yep 89 years old nz but American

Doris Dallaire

Couldn’t see most of them. This information is too old since the comments are from 3 and 4 years ago. The photos have been taken off the site that had been used!

Jas Newman

Stephne Ashworth, Been to all of those you mentioned. Actually, the photo of Fly Geyser reminds me of the Danikil Depression (third lowest place in the world, and the hottest), specifically Dallol.

Don't use Instagram, but what I could see was beautiful and interesting!

Shemeela Sasikumar

Fascinating sites of the world that we never expect to visit.

Don Curtis Latimer

The skeleton coast is a sad and spooky place. It is a place of death.

Cathie Roth Lonnquist

So varied. Loved all of the pictures but I was especially moved by the one with the multiple lightening strikes (awesome) and the accidental geyser formation (natural beauty).

Linda Spreng

Can't believe the color of the water off Bermuda!!

Maureen Clarke

Nope - have no burning desire to see any of them but travelled around many parts of the world...
