1. Shanay-Timpishka
The Boiling Riverwater Deep in the amazon lies a river four miles long and unlike any other on earth. The Shanay-Timpishka is so hot that any animal that steps into it gets boiled alive.

the eyes cook first, melting in its skull. and it is cooked from the inside out. The river gets as hot as 91°C (196F) and scientists aren't completely sure why. Normally, water that gets this hot is fed by a volcano, but this one is 700km far from the nearest volcano.
2. Movile Cave
The Cave With an Atmosphere of Sulfur
In south-eastern Romania, there is a cave that was locked away from the slightest ray of light for 5.5 million years and that has a completely different atmosphere from the earth.

The cave was discovered by workers looking to set up a powerplant. They tested the ground to see if it was a safe place to build and cracked open a pathway that leads into one of the strangest places on earth.
If you descend through the narrow shaft and past a series of tunnels, you enter a chamber with a lake of sulphuric water stinking of rotting eggs. The air there is toxic, filled with hydrogen sulphide and contaminated with 100 times the surface's levels of carbon dioxide.
3. The Petrifying Well
Where Water Turns Things to Stone
It's a place where water trickles down a cliff side that looks like a skeleton's grinning face and where anything you place under the water will turn to stone. The process usually takes three to five months.

you can leave anything you own under the trickling water and, when you return, it will be stone. People have left everything from teddy bears to bicycles there, and every one has been transformed into a statue.For a long time, people believed that the well was cursed by a witch
4. Kawah Ijen
The Volcano With Blue Lava
In Indonesia, there is a sulfur mine built into a volcano, and when the workers enter it at night they turn off their lights.They don't need them because their way is lit by a strange, glowing blue liquid trickling down the side like lava

Kawah Ijen is often described as a volcano with blue lava, although scientists now know the blue trickle isn't really lava it's sulfur. Sulfuric gases inside heat up and burst out of it, shooting blue flames up to 5 meters into the air. The gases then condense into liquid sulfur
which spills down the mountain slopes, looking like flowing neon-blue lava.All the sulfur in the air makes it toxic, and researchers and photographers who visit it have to wear gas masks to stay safe.
5. The Beacon of Marcaibo
The Never-Ending Lighting Storm
In Western Venezuela over the Catatumbo River, there is a storm that never ceases. Starting at 7:00 PM every night, lightning crashes over the water for ten hours every night, 260 nights each year.

Nobody knows for sure why it happens. Up until recently, the leading theory was that it had something to do with uranium in the bedrock although scientists are starting to doubt it. Today, the leading theory is a complicated one.
It posits that the shape of the mountains causes warm trade winds to collide with cold air from the Andes. That collision is then fueled by the rapidly evaporating water below and methane from a nearby oil field.
6. Lake Karachay
The Most Radioactive Lake on Earth
Inside of what was once a Soviet Union nuclear weapon factory is a lake pumped full of more radioactive material than anything else on earth. It is so radioactive that you only have to stand near it for an hour for it to kill
The Most Radioactive Lake on Earth
Inside of what was once a Soviet Union nuclear weapon factory is a lake pumped full of more radioactive material than anything else on earth. It is so radioactive that you only have to stand near it for an hour for it to kill
The lake was used by the Soviet Union to dump nuclear waste. They poured obscene amounts into it, and it caused major problems. In 1957, an explosion in the factory spread the radioactive particles in the lake around a 23,330km (9,000 square miles) area.
Then in 1967, the waters dried up and the radioactive dust was blown a further 1,450km (900 miles) away Today, the water is mostly covered up with concrete to keep these disasters from happening.
