Previously hidden in the thick brush of forest was a series of rock pillars that had precarious rocks balancing on top of them.

2. Oymyakon

Coldest vilage

This is possibly the coldest village on earth, positioned deep in Siberia. This village is a few hundred miles from the Arctic Circle and has reached record lows of -96.16 degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Asik-Asik Falls

Waterfalls
These waterfalls are actually streamed of pristine water that pours down in the mountainous Alamada region of the Philippines.

Tatami Rocks

This strange rock formation can be found in Kumejima-Cho, Japan and are named Tatami-Ishi or the Tatami rocks because they have formed a shape that resembles a tatami mat.

8. Pravcice Gate

Pravcice Gate
Europe’s largest natural bridge is this massive sandstone arch that has attracted visitors to it for as long as it has existed. It can be found on the border of Germany and stretches 90 feet wide and 50 feet high. The chateau nearby was once used as an inn for dignitaries and diplomats, and although it no longer functions like that anymore, it has been preserved as a restaurant and museum dedicated to the history of the area.

8. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China

Once you witness these floating mountains of China’s Zhangjiajie National Park, you’ll not be able to erase that memory for a lifetime. Over 3,00 pillars are covered in hanging vines and twisted pines rise up from the mist in this magical and mysterious land. As per the rumors, these were James Cameron’s inspiration in the movie Avatar for his Hallelujah Mountains.

Interestingly, now you can reach here and have a close look at these foggy pillars since park authorities have built a glass bridge that covers 1400 feet over the valley. The bridge is safe as no accidents have been reported yet.
