Some places and landscapes in the world are so mind-blowing that one doubts whether they actually exist.
When you see a picture of such a place posted by someone else on the Internet or a social networking site, it is common for everyone to want to see it in real life. The purpose of this article is to bring you information about some of these mesmerizing landscapes.
Lassen-Yamahal National Park (USA)
Located in the southeastern state of California in the United States of America, one of the most important features found here is the national park with the world’s largest column-shaped volcano and the location of the southernmost volcano in the Cascade Mountain range (a mountain range located in the western part of North America).
In 1907, then US President Theodore Roosevelt established the area as two separate national monuments, Cinder Cone National Monument and Lassen Peak National Monument.
The temperature required for the Lassen National Park’s operating plants is provided by the collision of the Goda tectonic plate and the North American tectonic plate along the northern Californian coast.
Active volcanoes as well as bubbling swamps and boiling hot springs are found throughout the Lassen Yamahal National Park, and the breathtaking and unique landscapes here, though dangerous, have made it a tourist attraction.
Shangyi National Geopark (China)
Located in Shangyi Province, China, Shangyi National Geopark covers an area of three hundred and twenty two square kilometers. Considered a quasi-national geopark in 2012, it was named a geopark by the Chinese government in 2016.
Shangyi National Geopark, which has attracted tourists due to the colorful rock formations found here, has been named the most breathtaking landscape in China by the Chinese media.
Thosmok Iced River (Iceland)
A meandering river is usually formed by the emergence of small and temporary islands from a channel or group of channels.
Located in the heart of the Thósmók mountain range in the south of Iceland, the beautiful Thósmók River (also known as the Krosa River) is made even more beautiful by the freezing cold.
Known as Iceland’s most famous mountain range, the Thósmók range is popular with both mountaineers and skiers.
Dallol Volcano (Ethiopia)
Dallol volcano, located in the Arta El mountain range in southeastern Ethiopia, was formed by the intrusion of thickened magma, Miocene salt deposits, and subsequent hydrothermal (i.e., boiling water reacting with the Earth’s crust) actions.
This volcano, which is about forty-five meters below sea level, is considered to be the lowest volcano in the world.
Considered to be the place where the highest average temperature in the world (34°C between 1960 and 1966) was recorded, one of the special features of this place is the wonderful yellow color found around the volcanoes. According to geologists, the salt and iron oxides mixed with the high sulfur content in this area have caused it.
Antelope Canyon (USA)
An extremely popular spot among photographers and tourists, Antelope Canyon was considered a major source of income for the Navajo Red Indians.
The reasons for this are the stone towers with wonderful shapes located here. Located in the southwestern part of the United States of America in the state of Arizona, it has two mind-blowing canyons. These are known in Nahavo as Tsé bighánílíní (meaning the place where the water flows between the rocks) and Hazdistází (meaning the twisted rock arch).
Antelope Canyon, which covers an area of nearly four thousand square feet, must be entered only with an authorized guide. The administration of this land, which is considered to belong to the Navajo Red Indians, is completely carried out by them.
