17 Most Unreal Rock Formations

it's 17 most unreal rock formations the landscape in the high plateaus of central Anatolia in Turkey make the unreal scene real especially the fairy chimneys which are tall rock spires that rise up from the ground as if by magic these spires were millennia in the making and they're used throughout history seems like something out of a fairy tale they are a part of a deep and complex underground cave city that people use to hide from invaders the rock formation is a strange and mysterious rock formation in Saudi Arabia it's a huge boulder that seems to have been cut down the middle mechanically but it has been this way for years it was likely created by some sort of pressure or fault line break there's even an ancient engraving left on the rock while it is a beautiful naturally occurring formation it also totally looks like a but this is a relic from the Ice Age a rock formation on Mount Tai in the shang dong province of china it is primarily composed of three huge boulders and several smaller ones forming a bridge seemingly holding each other up with tension it earned its name of immortal bridge because the fact that has lasted so long despite looking like it could just come apart at any moment the marble caves of Chile are a rock formation that is truly unique what looks like a lone rock outcropping in the middle of the ocean is actually holding a beautiful secret on the inside at the foot of this giant block of calcium carbonate waves have been slowly digging away creating an intricate system of caves that look like a surreal scene from another world [Music] the arbol de piedra is a lone standing rock formation in the middle of the edoardo Evora Andean fauna National Reserve in Bolivia countless years of erosion have formed a strange-looking rock whose name translates into stone tree the rock tree stands more than 22 feet tall and is the only descent of all land in the sand dunes for miles and miles around garage Bolton is the name of a boulder located on a mountain called courage and Norway the rock is a small Boulder of 180 cubic feet glacier deposit wedged in a crevasse you're probably familiar with pictures like this because it is a super popular tourist spot for photos it's an easy spot to hike to but actually getting on the boulder requires you not to be afraid of the 3228 feet fall right below the platform landscape arch is the longest of the numerous natural rock arches located in the arches national park in Utah it is a naturally occurring bridge and has been called the fifth longest natural arch bridge in the world by the natural arch and bridge society and yes that's a thing salad the Uni the world's largest salt flat is one of the most distinct natural landmarks in the world the immense plains of salt are viewable from space and are a huge attraction for tourists and photographers after rainfall the plants turn into an enormous reflective mirror that creates a surreal landscape the piles of salt ready for harvest only add to the uncanny imagery the Giant's Causeway is a huge Oceanside area in Northern Ireland composed of giant interlocking columns of basalt rock most of the columns are hexagonal in shape and perfectly fit together creating a surreal almost game-like environment scientifically speaking the columns were created by ancient volcanic explosion but it gains its name from the popular legend that the cliffs were built as a causeway by a giant in ancient times in the Garden of God's in Colorado Springs there's a plethora of beautiful rock formations but possibly the most iconic of these rocks is balanced rock a huge boulder that seems like it could just fall over at any moment it is destined to fall eventually when erosion or other damages dislodge it from it's gripping points so go and see the balanced rock before it falls over and becomes just another normal Rock there is another precarious Rock but this seems to be even more impossible the balancing rock and Nova Scotia is believed to be standing for thousands of years it's about 30 feet tall and it seems to just be standing straight up out of pure well this erupting rock is fly geyser an accidental man-made geothermal geyser in Washoe County the fountain was created in 1964 when people were exploring sources of geothermal energy and accidentally drilled into a well the well was never capped properly and now has become a geyser that shoots water into the air creating the ever-growing rock formation around it it looks like a weird alien structure because of the thermophilic algae that thrive in the high temperatures fly geyser generates tow kanga aka split apple rock is a geological rock formation off the coast of South Island of New Zealand it is a structure made of granite that looks almost like it was deliberately cut in half this cleft was natural though with no help from any humans what exactly could have cut this Boulder in half is a mystery although theories include water creeping into the rock freezing and expanding to break the rock it's a popular spot for tourists to take the exact same picture photo every year the moeraki boulders are unusually large and spherical boulders that are spread along the beach on the Otago coast of New Zealand local Mori legends explain that the boulders as the remains of eel baskets from the large sailing canoe that brought Mori people to the island hundreds of years ago these stones are unusually hollow but sometimes they are filled with site and courts which makes it look very interesting when they are broken open or exposed these interesting looking rocks are known commonly as the folding rocks they are sedimentary limestone layers that once layered horizontally at the bottom of the sea but tectonic plates push them together and force them upwards tore gotten is a granite mountain on target island in Norway as far as mountains go it looks pretty uncharacteristic and lumpy except for the giant gaping hole right in the middle of it according to legend the mountain hole was made by a troll who was chasing a beautiful girl knowing he could never catch the girl he shot an arrow at her but the troll came through his at to save the girl and a hat turned into the mountain sounds pretty legit to me and now for number one the first be sure to subscribe for new videos every day this abandoned Russian salt mine looks more like a scene from a trippy art house movie the naturally occurring minerals in the abandoned mine create psychedelic patterns and structures which create unique swirls while the naturally occurring art in these walls are beautiful exploring the mines are not without danger there were hazards of falling landslides and low visibility but it might be worth facing to see this one-of-a-kind place
