If you travel internationally, you’ll know that the world is a strange old place. And it gets no stranger than these places, complied by the good people at Environmental graffiti…<\/p>\n

Pack some strong walking shoes, some sun block and your international mobile phone<\/a> (just in case) and go explore…<\/p>\n

1. Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carved and shaped by floods into a thing of beauty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Pamukkale, Turkey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caused by the build up of travertine, these have to be the ultimate hot springs!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. The Wave, Arizona, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

What happens when sand dunes become pertified.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Order from chaos as natural forces help erode these rocks into near perfect spheres.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Bungle Bungles, Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like cartoon mountains made real.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Fantasy Cave, Bermuda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Closed off from the public from the 1940s until 2001, this is a fantastic underground grotto.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Wave Rock, Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Formed underground over millions of years, erosion finally brought it out to the surface.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Chocolate Hills, The Philippines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Formed by the sea, there are 1,776 of these unworldly hills.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Stone Forest, Madagascar<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the local language this area is known as the place ‘where you cannot walk barefoot’, and you can see why.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Crystal Cave of Giants, Mexico<\/strong><\/p>\n

You thought rock salt was big. Well you ain’t seen nothing yet with these crystals.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. The Blue Grotto, Italy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coloured blue by the two natural light sources into this cave.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12. Sailing Stones, Death Valley, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘I swear that rock is following us!’ Well here it might be. The rocks are believed to be moved by a combination of the wind and the loose surface material.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

13. The Eye of the Sahara, Mauritania<\/strong><\/p>\n

Believed to be caused by the erosion of softer substances, leaving raise rings, unless you can get above the surface this 50-km wide effect will be hard for you to appreciate.<\/p>\n
