Travel to space on Earth; 19 places on Earth that look like other planets

The planet is full of natural and artificial wonders that remind us of science fiction movies and series about space and aliens. These sights look like they belong to other planets, but they don't. In this article, we have introduced 19 examples of the strangest and most spectacular places on earth that you might not believe are on the planet.

1. Fly Geyser in Nevada

Fly Geyser is a colorful geyser located in the heart of the Nevada desert. This geyser was created due to the combination of human error and the pressure of geothermal energy. In 1964, a company digs a well in this part to extract hot water from underground, but because the water is not hot enough, they finally block the well. However, the well is not closed properly and over time, a geyser is formed due to the pressure of the hot water.

2. The Great Prism Fountain in Yellowstone

Prism spring with a diameter of 60 to 90 meters is the largest spa spring in Yellowstone. This spring is almost 36 meters deep and its wonderful colors are due to the presence of thermophiles. Thermophiles are organisms that live in hot environments. Thermophiles that live in the hottest part of the lake are colorless or yellow, and orange, brown, and green thermophiles are found in less hot water. This problem explains the color composition of the large prismatic fountain well.

3. Rainbow Mountain in Peru

Rainbow Mountain, also called Winnikonka and Seven-Colored Mountain, was hidden under a pile of snow for a long time until it was discovered in 2015. The red, golden, green, and purple colors of this mountain are due to the deposition of minerals and have given it an eye-catching effect.

4. Danakil depression in Ethiopia

The Danakil Depression is one of the most incredible places on Earth that looks like something out of a fantasy movie and looks a lot like the planet Venus. The temperature of this area reaches 45 degrees Celsius and it is also called the Gate of Hell. Sulfuric acid and chlorine gas surround the air around Danakil, and acid pools and geysers can be seen throughout the area.

5. Lake Hillier in Australia

The combination of the pink Hillier lake with the blue waters of the Indian Ocean and the green areas around it has created an extraordinary view. The main cause of the pink color of this lake is still unknown. Despite this, scientists believe that the symbiosis of a type of salt-loving bacteria and Donalilla salina microalgae that produce red pigment is responsible for this color. Also, the reaction between salt and sodium bicarbonate may have affected the color of Lake Hillier.

6. Crystal Cave in Mexico

The giant salt crystals that have formed in Mexico's Crystal Cave have given it a spatial effect. These crystals are over hundreds of thousands of years old and are still growing.

7. Habitat 67 residential complex in Canada

In 1967, Moshe Safadi started a project with the aim of innovation in apartment building. He built the Habitat 67 residential complex on an artificial peninsula located in Montreal, Canada, which has a strange and amazing architecture. Today, this complex is considered one of the special structures in the world of architecture.

8. The Garden of Eden in England

The Garden of Eden is another man-made creation that inspires the viewer to feel extraterrestrial. This garden is actually a greenhouse and a scientific center whose goal is environmental balance and social equality.

9. Underwater waterfall on the island of Mauritius

The waterfall under the sea is located on the island of Mauritius in the east of Madagascar and reminds the viewer of the Pirates of the Caribbean series of adventure films. It is interesting to know that this waterfall is just a type of vision error caused by the sudden decrease in the height of the continental plateau in this area.

10. Gardens by the Bay in Singapore

Singapore Bay Garden is just like a space island that we have seen in movies and fantasy series. This garden, which was opened in 2011, has well displayed the art of scientific gardening.

Wave rock was formed by the erosion of sandstones over a long period of time and has become one of the wonders of the planet. This rock with its unique appearance is located on the border of the states of Arizona and Utah.

14. Waitomo Firefly Caves in Iceland

Waitomo Caves are one of Iceland's most popular attractions, despite the glowworms. You can visit these caves by boat or even on foot and enjoy watching thousands of fireflies and their luminous scenery. These small creatures that lit up the cave environment like stars, remind us of science fiction movies.

15. Sassuolo in the Namib desert

If you have seen the famous movie Dune, you will remember Sasosuli at the first sight of this movie. This area is very similar to the planet Mars and is one of the most popular attractions in Namibia. The blowing of the wind over millions of years has caused the formation of the red sand dunes of Sassouli, which have created the Martian landscape of this region.

Pamukkale, also called the Cotton Castle, is one of the most dreamlike sights on the planet. In this area, mineral pools can be seen surrounded by cotton-like ridges.

Vatnajökull glacier with an area of ​​more than 8 thousand square kilometers constitutes about 8% of the area of ​​Iceland. Under this natural glacier, several active volcanoes are hidden, which, according to geologists, will erupt in the next 50 years.
