World's 10 Most Weird and Mysterious Places

On this planet, many mysterious places do exist. Although most of these landmarks have been carefully studied and researched by scientists and historians as It is the nature of man to widen his horizons and conquer uncharted territories. But there are parts of our home planet that still defy some explanation. Many popular experts suggest possibility that mysterious sites around the world were created with help of advanced knowledge and technology. possessed by lost civilizations. Others do not believe that there ever was very advanced civilization on earth and all of the superb knowledge was handed down to us by ancient astronauts who came down from heaven. Here is a list of 10 Mysterious places which still defy explanations:1. The Bermuda Triangle- North Atlantic OceanSo many ships and planes have disappeared and so many disasters have happened in the area between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Miami, and many theories have appeared as well. From compass variations, gulf streams, rogue waves to human errors and conspiracy theories – anything is possible, but none of them is proved yet. However, it's still one of the most traveled routes in the world.2. Mystery Spot- Santa Cruz, CaliforniaIt is famous because of its disrespect to the laws of physics and gravity. The odd cabin, although seems like lying on flat ground, makes those who enter inside swinging all the time. The most probable theory that tries to explain this says that it's all about “tilt-induced visual illusion. 3. Racetrack Playa- CaliforniaRacetrack Playa in California is well known due to its sailing stones. No one knows how, but the stones there somehow manage to move from their original position, leaving a track behind them. The reasons are still unknown and are subject of research. It is supposed that the winds in the valley are “responsible” for this.4. Socotra- Republic of YemenSocotra is archipelago the Horn of Africa and Arabic Peninsula, but the main island of Socotra is 95% of the whole landmass, while the rest is just small islands. This place is probably the most alien-looking on Earth. One third of the flora and fauna on this island, administered by Yemen government, can be found only here. The umbrella-shaped “blood tree,” the cucumber tree, giant succulent tree, different kinds of birds, spiders, bats and cats have the only habitat on Socotra.5. Mount Roraima- Tepui plateau in South AmericaMount Roraima is located on the triple border point between Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. It is weird because of its shape, but is also mysterious because of the clouds that are always near the peak and the endemic fauna. The tabletop of the mountain, which is the peak actually, is considered as one of the world's oldest geological formations. It is believed that the plateau was formed by water and winds, but the reason why some species can't be found anywhere else remain mystery.6. Lake Vostok- AntarcticaScientists believe that in the lake under the ice surface there are some species that have survived 15 billions years. However, these species would be something that the world has never seen before, as they would have developed under complete darkness. The researchers are close to obtaining a water sample, so we should wait for the results. 7. Fly Geyser- Washoe County, NevadaThe Fly Geyser, near Gerlach, Nevada, is strange because it somehow grows up. It is three meters high at the moment. It is interesting that this geyser is located on private area, so nobody can enjoy it from close. The owner is Bill Spoo, a man who rejects the opportunity to make a fortune from the tourists, and keeps the beautiful view just for himself and the few researchers and photographers who have to schedule a visit weeks before arriving.8. McMurdo Dry Valleys- AntarcticaThey lack snow. That makes the area to be a desert, of course the coldest one in the world. However, that's not the only strange things here. The valleys are “bleeding” from the many geysers, because of the high concentration of iron, making picture of world different than Earth.9. Easter Island- southeastern Pacific OceanThe well known statues on the Easter Island, the rapa nui, still remain mystery for the researchers. The statues are over 50 feet tall, but no one has a clue who built them, why they built them, how they were brought there, and so on. One of the theories is that a civilization has lived here long time ago, but the people ate everything on the island and either moved somewhere else or were exterminated.10.Rio Tinto- south-western SpainandRio Tinto is located in south-western Spainand originates from Sierra Morena mountains of Andalusia. The area around the river has been mined since ancient times, so a lot of minerals can be found into the water, especially iron, which makes the water red. Even some bacteria enjoy its life there, “exploiting” the iron. However, the weirdness of this river comes from its high acidity, which made some scientists say that it is very similar to the underground waters of Mars.
