Geological wonders of the world!
So, it is no surprise that Andy Hayes from Oregon is super famous for his trips to the most exotic, the most beautiful destinations of the world! Throughout his life, he has dedicated a lot of time to exploring new territories and making new friends all over the globe! While he has practically gone travelled through the entire Northern hemisphere, he hopes of travelling all over the world once, even India! His last article talked about the marvels of Dubai, this one talks about the geological wonders of the world! Read along:
• The Wave (in between Arizona and Utah, USA)
Made of 190-million-year-old sand dunes that have bow turned to rock over a period of time, this one’s a stark red stunner on the border of Arizona and Utah. This lesser-known formation is only accessible foot via a three-mile hike which is highly regulated.
• Antelope Canyon (Arizona, USA)
Located on Navajo land near Page, Arizona, this is the most visited and photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It includes two separate slot canyon sections, referred to individually as Upper Antelope Canyon --or “The Crack”-- and Lower Antelope Canyon --or “The Corkscrew.”
• Great blue hole (Belize)
It lies approx. 60 miles outside the main city of Belize. The hole is large, almost perfectly circular and approximately 0.4 km across, it’s one of the most astounding dive sites to be found anywhere on earth. The water inside the hole is 480 feet (145 m) deep and it is the depth of water which gives the deep blue color that causes such structures throughout the world to be known as "blue holes."
• Giants Causeway (Ireland)
An after effect of an ancient volcanic eruption, this is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns. Most of the columns are hexagonal, but there are some rare ones which have upto eight sides. The tallest colums are about 12 meters (36 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 meters thick in places.
• The eye of Sahara (Mauritania)
Pictures of this place from space makes it look like an eye that’s why the name. Its diameter is a whopping 30 miles, and the fact that it is visible from space says it all. Ealier it was thought that it is a result of a meteorite impact but lately scientist said it is a sign of erosion, however the fact behind its circular shape is not known!
Andy Hayes is positive that these places are epitomes of God’s creation and power at its best! He can’t wait to find some places more. What about you?
