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.
The island of Socotra is a place that is unlike any other place. Isolated from the African mainland six million years ago, it feels like a scene from a sci-fi movie. The island is home to incredible and unique plants and trees that you won’t find anywhere else. Two of the most unusual are the Ancient Dragon’s Blood Tree and the Bulbs Bottle Tree. It is definitely one of the most unique places in the world!
Even though Yemen is facing conflict, people are still working hard to protect Socotra’s special environment. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. However, it is still difficult to travel there due to the political problems in the area.
This amazing lake is located on the largest island in the Richrich Islands in Western Australia. The lake is a deep pink color all year round, which some scientists believe is a salt-loving algae called Dunaliella salina.
And due to the high salt levels combined with pink bacteria known as halobacteria. To really see this view, consider taking a pleasant flight (1:40 hours) from Esperance Airport.
