This glossy sea-glass beach in California is the result of littering there over the years. It didn’t stop until the 1960s, but by then the sea was full of everything from old equipment to bottles and cans.
Over time, the waves break everything into colored pebbles, turning the beach into a major tourist attraction. Now, it’s ironically at stake as visitors continue to take the glass home.
In the middle of the Atacama Desert in Chile, 46 miles south of Antofagasta, you will find a very peculiar sculpture. ‘The Hand in the Desert’ by Chilean sculptor Mario Irarazabal.
Known for its art about human suffering, this massive sculpture makes you feel lonely, especially in its empty and isolated space. It is a popular place for tourists, but visitors are asked to respect it and not vandalize it, as the problem of graffiti has arisen recently.
On the northern shore of remote Etigran Island, 82 kilometers from the coast of Alaska, there is a strange tourist spot. The jawbone, ribs and spine of the giant whale get stuck to the ground, creating a haunted path.
People think that the site dates back to the 14th or 15th century, but no one is sure if it was a sacred meeting place for local tribes or just a place for mass whale hunting. What we do know is that it is one of the strangest places in the world.
