10 Impossible Places on the Earth.

From stones that sing to an ancient underground world, today we look at “Places On Earth That Seem Scientifically Impossible”: so, here are the list of 10 Impossible Places on the Earth.

10 Impossible Places on Earth.

10. Petrifying Well.

This unique wonder is located near Mother

Shipton’s Cave in North Yorkshire, England.

It is the oldest tourist attraction in England to charge a fee for entrance and has been open since 1630 for the worldwide tourists. Anything dropped inside the petrifying well is turned to stone within a couple of days. But, don’t worry! It isn’t because Medusa is down there; it is due to the water’s high carbonate and sulfate contents. The minerals within the water encrust whatever is put inside; but, the effect isn’t instantaneous. For example, it can take three to five months to turn a teddy bear to stone. When the Petrifying Well was first discovered, people stayed away because they thought it was magic. However, later on, people began visiting the well often to shower in and drink the water, which they believed he had healing powers. Nowadays, people are told not to drink the water because it contains so many minerals. Although it isn’t available yet, there will soon be Pagan wedding packages available; so, couples can enjoy the bewildering effects of the well while they tie the knot, hopefully setting their relationship in stone.

9. Hessdalen Lights.

These striking orbs of light can be seen over

a 7.5-mile-long central Norwegian valley.

They are also called the Hessdalen Phenomenon, and the reason for its existence is unknown. It is the light which flashes during day and nighttime, in or apart from horizons, and their colors are generally yellow, red, or white. They can last for a few seconds or more than one hour. They move very quickly at times, slowly at other times, and sometimes they’ll remain still, hovering in the air. Reports of these lights have been made since around the 1930s. The Hessdalen Lights were very active from late 1981 to the middle of 1984 when they were spotted about 20 times every week. However, for about eight years now, they are only witnessed 10 to 20 times per year. There are several hypotheses for why this phenomenon takes place, including an underground natural “battery,” an effect of plasma, and some have even said they are misperceptions of planes, celestial bodies, headlights, or simply mirages. Nevertheless, these lights remain a mystery.

8. Devil’s Kettle.

This strange attraction is located in Judge

C. R. Magney State Park in Minnesota, USA. The Devil’s Kettle is a unique waterfall

that splits in two over a rock formation,

causing half of the Brule River to enter a

giant’s kettle, or sizeable pothole, in

which it disappears underground. For a long

time visitors dropped various objects, like

sticks and ping pong balls, into the hole,

and never saw them reappear further downstream. So, Devil’s Kettle remained a mystery. In the year 2016 several experiments were done in the Brule river that came to light a year later, it revealed that more than likely, the vanishing half of the water reconnects with the Brule River just under the falls. The disappearance of visitors’ objects is due to strong currents at the base of the waterfall, mentioned by the Scientists. It would be able to hold down the items until they become crushed. Even though studies give a detailed explanation for the Devil’s Kettle, it remains a sight worth seeing.

7. Catatumbo River.

This river is located in Venezuela and is

known for its lightning storms that occur

between 140 and 160 nights per year. It lasts for about 10 hours, and the lightning goes up to 280 times every hour. These storms are mostly caused by winds that traverse the lake and marshy plains in the surrounding area, and they occur at different times every year. The lightning is commonly referred to as the Lighthouse of Maracaibo because it can be seen from miles away. Agustin Codazzi, who was an Italian geographer in the 19th century revealed that the position and continuity of the lightning could guide navigators like a lighthouse.

6. Gruner See.

Gruner See, or Green Lake, is found in Styria, Austria. The Hochschwab Mountains surround the lake, and it gets its name thanks to its rich green hue. During the winter months, Gruner See is merely 3 to 7 feet deep, and therefore the area around it's used as a park. However, when the snow melts during springtime, the lake rises, making it about 39 feet deep; due to the tremendous change thoroughly , the water engulfs the encompassing park. Divers wish to take a dip within the water around this point because it's the looks of a lost

or an alien world. There is a bridge and a bench underneath the lake during the spring also as walking trails and even some trees. But, if you’re looking to jet ski on Green Lake, then you’re out of luck; watersports haven’t been permitted in Gruner See since the start of 2016.

5. The Blue Pond.

This striking body of water is found in

Hokkaido, Japan. One dam was constructed initially to protect the town of Biei against the mudflows of Mt. Tokachi, a volcano that erupted in 1988. The Blue Pond may be a result of this dam’s construction. The water of Shirahige Falls picks up colloidal aluminium hydroxide from the cliff because it flows into the Biei River. This aluminum content is claimed to be the rationale for the pond’s azure color; these particles can reflect blue light exceptionally well. So, the sky’s reflection is extremely vivid in Blue Pond. There also are withered trees that get up straight out of the pond, adding to its uniqueness. After the winter, when the water remains somewhat frozen, the surface looks almost like white sand. However, summertime is when the pond is at its brightest blue hue, which is when tourists are recommended to ascertain it.

4. Ringing Rocks.

There is a type of ringing rocks garden, which is located in Bucks County Pennsylvania in Ringing Rocks Park. This garden is about 7 acres of land, are piled more than 10 feet deep, and are surrounded by forest. In 1890, Doctor J.J. Ott picked different stones with different-pitched rings and, with help from a brass instrument band, he played songs on them for the Buckwampum Historical Society; people often refer to the event as the world’s “rock concert.” But, why do these rocks ring? Although the size, shape, and positions of the boulders change the way they sound, their ability to make this noise is caused by something else. However, a specific explanation hasn’t yet been made. But, there are some hypotheses, including the rocks’ densities, their iron content, and internal stress.

3. The Boiling River.

This natural wonder is located in the Amazon rainforest in Peru. The river is also called the Shanay-Timpishka or La Bomba, which means “boiled by the heat of the sun.” Due to its steaming temperature, local people believed that it had special healing abilities; so, shamans often used the water in medicines. The river reaches the temperatures up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and stretches for about 4 miles. The temperature makes the mud around the river too hot to walk on. This river is so hot that if someone were to fall in, they’d have severe burns within about one second. Unfortunately, some small creatures in the

area meet their doom in this river pretty

often. The Boiling River differs from other

steaming streams because it isn’t located

near an active volcano. Apart from the reasons behind this river’s temperature is said to be due to a fault in the ground, where

the water goes down and becomes heated underground; it then comes back up to the surface through various cracks. However, not everything is known about this river’s heat source.

2. Kawah Ijen.

This volcano is located in East Java, Indonesia. It is home to a sulfur-mining operation, where workers cool the sulfur via channeling it through a series of pipes and carry back broken pieces of the solid material. However, what makes this place unique are the blue flames the volcano produces. Although many people believe that the lava itself is blue, that is incorrect. The real reason for these sapphire-blue flames are the high amounts of sulfur in the

area; when the sulfuric gas ignites, this

a stunning fire is created. However, the trek

to see this breathtaking wonder isn’t very

easy. It requires a two-hour-long hike to

get to the outside of the crater, where the

sulfur is located, and then takes another

45 minutes to walk down to the bank. People

have to be very careful while observing the

blue fire and make sure they don’t get too

close; when the ignited gas comes up through the cracks in the rocky surface it is about 1,112 degrees Fahrenheit, and the fire can rise to 16 feet high.

1. Movile Cave.

This magical place is located in Mangalia,

Romania. It is known for its one-of-a-kind

ecosystem, which is high in carbon dioxide

and hydrogen sulfide but doesn’t have much

oxygen. However, creatures still inhabit this

strange cavern. For the past 5.5 million years, life within the cave has been disconnected from the outside world and learned to strive in different ways. The organisms rely on chemosynthesis,

which is a method of converting molecules

containing carbon into organic matter using

oxidation as energy, instead of photosynthesis, during which they convert sunlight into chemical energy. 48 species live inside the Movile Cave, including spiders and leeches; 33 of those species are only found in the cave and nowhere else in the world. There is also a species of water scorpion that lives inside, and it is the only one in the world known to be adapted to a cave.
