Amazing places on Earth.

In this report I will show you some of the most amazing places on Earth.

Top 5. Angel Waterfall.

It is the highest waterfall in the world. It is 979 meters high. It is in Venezuela (South America) Not only the waterfall is spectacular; also the surrounding area. It is a forest filled with old and big trees. The mountains are also extraordinary.





Top 4. Yellowstone Geysers.

This beautiful and transparent pool is treacherous. If you look at the photo, you will check that there aren't any trees around the water. And what about the yellow mud? It is sulphur, a very toxic substance.

You are watching a geyser from Yellowstone National Park (USA) It is filled with a mix of water and acid. From time to time, it spits a large collum of water. In 2016 a man died because he thought that to have a "bath" in these waters was a good idea. One more time, ignorance was the worst enemy of stupidity.

Top 3. The great blue hole.

It is a very deep sinkhole in Belice (Central America, next to Mexico) It is very deep: more than 100 meters. Originally it was a cave; but many years ago the ceiling collapsed. The result: this spectacular blue circle.





Top 2. The Gate of the hell.

It is a crater in Turkmenistan, consequence of oil prospecting. Engineers were looking for petrol, and they found a great deposit of gas. This gas started to flow and engineers set fire to it in order to prevent intoxications in surrounding towns. Since 1971, this gas has been burning, and it seems that it's not going to stop in the short run. What a botch job!
