of the Alps.
Chile
Cathedrals of Marble in Chile on the lake
General Carrera.
Form a set of islands and caves with
strange shapes, reached by a small boat
from Puerto Río Tranquilo.
These rock formations are the result of
erosion caused by water over thousands
of years. When the water is low, it is
possible to visit the interior.
Uluru is a capricious monolith
Uluru is the name that Aboriginal Australians
have contributed to what we call Ayers Rock, a
mountain of red sandstone, of 318 meters and a

Bepu Jigoku thermal waters formed by nine
spectacular natural hot springs, a landscape
resource and therapeutic. The reddish color is
due to the high content of iron.
Antarctica
"Blood Falls" is one of the most
beautiful and extraordinary Antarctica.
It is a "river" of very salty water that
passes through the slits of the
occasional Taylor Glacier.
The creek was discovered in 1911.

color was due to the presence of algae.
Recent studies have shown, however,
that this color is due to the high
concentration of iron.

Naica mine, north of Mexico City, the cave is 27
meters wide and 9 meters in height. Form a giant

the most important geological discoveries in the
world, with crystals of 6 meters in length (some
formations reach 11 mt).
The crystals have the appearance of ice, but the
temperature is 50 °C, 100% humidity.
A person could not stand more than 10 minutes
without risking a collapse or a heat stroke.
