10. Lake Natron
Located in Tanzania, this lake can best be described as terrifying. Animals that die in this place are turned into statues through the process of calcification. The sodium bicarbonate that is present in abundance in this lake mummifies all of the animals and creates an incredible, but scary sight. During the summer, the lake starts to turn red in color, which makes it even more terrifying.
9. Slope Point
Slope Point is the southernmost point of New Zealand, and what is interesting about this place is the trees. They are permanently twisted due to the wind blowing, and it makes for an incredibly strange view. All of the trees have taken a weird shape that points in the direction of the wind. When combined with the cliffs they are surrounded by, it looks like a scene out of a Tim Burton movie. Of course, the strong winds make it even more spooky.
8. Underwater Park
This park can be found in the Green Lake in Tragoess, Austria, and even though you may not believe it, the name describes it perfectly. It is an actual park that exists underwater that anyone can visit during spring and summer. The lake itself is considered incredibly beautiful, and when you add the fact that you can actually have fun in a park underwater, there is no reason why this should not be on your list of places to visit.
7. Christ Of The Abyss
A statue of Jesus Christ that is placed underwater and is more than 8 feet tall. The statue is made out of bronze, and it is a popular place among divers. It is an incredibly strange sight, especially if you like diving. The statue itself was made by Guido Galletti and can be found between Camogli and Portofino, in the Mediterranean Sea.
6. The Silfra Rift
This is another unbelievable place that you can visit by diving underwater. It is located near Iceland, and it is a place that separates two continents and two tectonic plates. Yes, you read that correctly, you can actually see the place where two tectonic plates are separated. The plates in question are the North American and the Eurasian plates. Many consider this place to be one of the most unique phenomena on our planet, and for a good reason. It is absolutely breathtaking.
5. Sea Of Stars
Found in Malaysia, at Vaadhoo Island, the Sea of Stars actually refers to a natural phenomenon. A special kind of plankton found in these waters glows in a specific blue light during the night, which makes the sea look like it was made out of stars. Millions of tourists visit this place every year, and it was used as a set piece in multiple movies as well. It is also incredibly cheap to get there, so what are you waiting for?
4. Huashan Mountain, The Road To Heaven

We are sure that some of you will feel excited just thinking about a place like this. Most commonly known as the Road to Heaven, this place would probably make anyone feel dizzy. However, it is definitely a unique experience.
3. Crooked Forest
You can find this forest in Poland, near the town of Gryfino. One look at a picture of this place and you will want to visit it.

It is bizarre, but beautiful and will make you feel like you are in a fairy tale. The reason why the trees are curved is unknown, so it only adds to the mystery.
2. Pink Sands Beach
If you ever decide to visit the Bahamas, this beach should be on the list of places you will definitely want to visit.
