12 Most Incredible Places On The Planet That Actually Exist

we're all lucky enough to live on a beautiful planet whether built by nature or built by human hands there are areas of our world that are truly spectacular to look at and have to be seen to be believed not everyone gets to travel to every corner of the world to see these amazing sights so today we're going to bring some of the most incredible real world locations that exist right here in this video sometimes a basic description is enough to give you a feel for what you might find at a location the people of Australia refer to these incredible rock formations and their homeland as the wonderful cliffs and we couldn't agree more with that description found in flinders chase national park these beautiful brightly coloured lumps of rock are indeed wonderful they're the result of gigantic boulders being shaped and carved by wind and rain over the passage of 500 million years they're an impressive sight to see at any time of the day but to get the best out of them you should pay a visit either at sunrise or it's sunset where the light adds a touch of drama to the spectacle the bluish tones in the rocker quartz which stands out from the red and pink shades of granite local tourism officials are well aware of the popularity of this spot with sightseers and so they've helpfully provided a wooden bridge to help people reach the cliffs without the risk of a painful plunge onto the pebbles below [Music] edinburg channel in Austria is every bit as stunning as it is scary there's no doubt that it's a beautiful location but you have to try to forget what you're looking at if you really want to enjoy the scenery the whole structure is made of human bones not everybody is comfortable with the idea of using human remains to make art but it's impossible not to appreciate the skill with which this skull cavern was crafted dating back to the 14th century it said that the skeletons from as many as six thousand people have been used to create this highly unusual attraction a pile of skulls serves as the centerpiece with arm and leg bones fanning out around them to make perfectly symmetrical circles and lines the bones are so well preserved because they're at the bottom of a pit but these days they're still behind a glass screen to ensure they're protected for future generations to come and see you may have heard azerbaijan referred to as the land of fire and its locations like in our dog in baku that are responsible for that fearsome nickname as was first noted by marco polo in the 13th century this is a land upon which eternal flames burn and never fade places like en our dog terrified human settlers two thousand years ago and are thought to have played a part in the founding of the fire worshiping faith of Zoroastrianism there used to be more sites like this all of which were fueled by Azerbaijan's phenomenal natural gas reserves many of the fires died out when humans began to exploit those reserves but you know our dog refuses to perish it's believed that a local farmer started this particular fire by accident when he threw away a lit cigarette during the 1950s and the 30-foot long wall of fire has been burning ever since if left undisturbed it can continue to burn for centuries a tea house has been established nearby so visitors can enjoy the fire in comfort anybody who wants to come and visit the ice sculptures at Point Warren's off in Alaska better make their travel plans soon they're slowly being worn away by the wind and the rain that matters their inhospitable location every sculpture at the site of which there are more than 100 is the work of artist Sara Davies and her team the work is part of a project called 100 stone which was erected in 2015 and is designed to raise awareness of physical and mental disabilities and illnesses in humans according to Sara each sculpture was designed by someone suffering from physical or emotional problems and so very individual pieces tell somebody's story they're somber monuments appearing to show human figures afraid and alone exposed to the elements although the subject matter is a little sad there's also an air of defiance about the artwork which is tangible to anyone who lays eyes on it 100 stone is definitely haunting but it also conveys a message about perseverance in the face of hardship [Music] everybody knows that some of the most beautiful beaches in the whole world can be found in the Bahamas and when we say everyone we include pigs you won't find any humans living on the unspoiled island of big major K so that means that the swimming pigs who call the land their home have been left to enjoy their existence free of interference they're happy to welcome visitors though especially if those visitors bring a little food along with them as a greeting the nearby fowl K Resort organizes special boat trips so people can come and take a closer look at these hogs living their best life but you should take care not to get too close the pigs will often swim out into the water to greet boats as they approach and if you get within a range of them they'll hop up onto your vessel and range your entire food supply nobody knows how the pigs got here in the first place although some believe that they might have been the only survivors of a shipwreck tearsa Ganga in Indonesia is a place so pretty but they built it twice the first incarnation of this scenic water palace was constructed in the late 1940s when the location was under Dutch colonial rule it was a labor of love from the last ever Raja of Karanga 'some who took a personal interest in the palaces development and even pitched in with some of the building work himself tragically the nearby volcano mount a gun erupted in 1963 and did away with all the Rajas hard work burying the plants and trees under volcanic ash as the tremors from the eruption shattered the stonework it wasn't until 1979 that restoration work began and it was the Rajas own grandson who took control of the project now we're pleased to say that tear taganga has been restored to its former glory it's a faithful reconstruction of the original water temple based on the Rajas designs but if anything it's more beautiful than it was before the imposing towers of Dara waar fort looked like a work of art but that's not what they were first designed to be was populated by soldiers and was a military stronghold for centuries we can thank the arid conditions of the desert for the fact that the fort is still so well preserved today looking at it it's hard to believe that it's been standing here since the 9th century there was a rebuilding project during the 1700s but the majority of the fort is still original and over a thousand years old the fort contains 40 different bastions each of which is 100 feet high common sense might tell you that this will be a harder site to defend than a traditional walled castle but it survived all this time without being destroyed so who are we to argue with the designers nowadays it's the private property of the Abbasi family who use part of the situs and necropolis for their relatives not every wonder has to be ancient or artistic sometimes they can be loud and brash that's the feeling you get when you first see God's own junkyard in London and it's a location that can leave you on the verge of complete sensory overload perhaps the best way to describe this strange place is a neon Wonderland the sight is a cross between a museum and a labyrinth almost like a condensed version of the famous strip of Las Vegas condensed into a single warehouse it's treated like an art gallery meaning that it's free for the public to enter and take a trip around but it doubles as a neon art traders Haven there are literally thousands of signs at the site which is proven popular with modern age Instagram influencers looking for a perfect location for an eye-catching photo shoot some of the signs come from casinos some come from all-night bars and others come from long-forgotten nightclubs there's even some light-up religious iconography at the junkyard which lends an air of the surreal to the proceedings we could say that the Noah Purifoy desert art museum in Joshua Tree California continues the junkyard theme we began with God's own junkyard that wouldn't really be fair though the desert art museum may have a slightly ramshackle appearance but it isn't a junkyard it's an environmental sculpture exhibition Purifoy himself designed and built every piece at the site which was assembled between the years of 1989 and 2004 every scrap of material he used to make the statues and installations was either donated or thrown away so some of his most used materials include blown out tires from cars fire damaged steel in wood and fragments of glass there are even fast-food wrappers used as decoration on some of Noah's works which add to the recycled theme many of the pieces contain a social or political message but there are also personal statements here to the sculpture known as shelter was made from the burnt wooden framework of his neighbor's home after it was destroyed in a fire no maintenance work is ever performed at the site according to no his own vision the erosive effect of nature on his work is all part of the plan there's a good reason that the grottoes of an old mine near Saffold in germany are known as the soft felled ferry grottoes and it's that when you look upon them you'll be convinced that they must be the home of etheral otherworldly creatures the caves are so beautiful that back in 1993 the Guinness Book of World Records created a brand new category just for them they're officially recognized as the world's most colourful cave grottoes no other cave or grotto in the world has ever tried to challenge that ranking and we doubt that one ever will the site consists of three main chambers each of which has been connected by a gallery to provide visitors with more information about the site there you'll find out all about the history of the old alum shale mine that operated here from the 16th century through the 19th and how the radiation used inside the mine may have affected the rock formations the undoubted highlight is the third chamber which is the fairy grotto from which the whole place gets its name Norway contains one of the most unusual and outstanding photo opportunity spots in the whole world but only if you're brave enough to climb a mountain to reach it and then stand upon it for long enough for the photo to be taken this is Kyra Bolton which is a happy accident of nature a boulder has fallen from the Kirov Mountain and become completely wedged in a crevasse it stuck fast and is perfectly safe to stand on but knowing that and convincing yourself to set foot on it are two different things the boulder is large with a surface area of 15 cubic feet and is balanced above a 3,000 foot drop into an abyss amazingly it's become a popular spot with base jumpers who are happy to throw themselves off the boulder and parachute all the way down for the ultimate thrill experience the route up the mountain to the boulder is reasonably easy even for climbers who lack experience but it's recommended that children don't attempt it if we said the word palace to you you'd probably picture a building similar to Buckingham Palace in London which is where the Queen of England lives not all palaces are so opulent or traditional though take our world palace in Germany for example which is an all natural palace made entirely out of trees Architects Marcela Cal Mara and his team created the palace Palace by binding saplings together and encouraging them to grow into specific shapes thereby creating this impressive space with its leafy cathedral like dome they started work in 1998 but as the palace palace has now been standing for more than 20 years it looks like it was grown by Nature cobbler took inspiration from the ancient builders of Mesopotamia who made their homes by binding Reed's together each year the Palace Palace hosts the our world festival which is a moon dance party featuring music drinking dancing and lessons on how you
