25 Bizarre Nature Photos Showing How Strange Earth Really Is
12. Lenticular Clouds: Probably mistaken for UFOs by Fox Mulder, these clouds occur when the moist air overflows a mountain.
13. Living Rocks: Not actually rocks, these sea creatures line the beaches of Chile and are completely immobile.
14. Maelstroms: Conflicting tidal waves create these whirlpools that can suck in swimmers and boats.
15. Rainbow Trees: These Australian eucalyptus trees shed their bark to reveal vibrant colors.
16. Assembly Of Crabs: Off the coast of Australia on Christmas Island, the annual migration of nearly 120 million red crabs creates quite a sight as they make their way to the ocean.
17. Steam Towers: Occurring alongside the Northern Lights, these geothermal formations make the area seem even more like a sci-fi movie.
18. Black Sun: Formed by the massive migration of European starlings and can be seen every spring in the skies of Denmark.
19. Ever-Lasting Storm: The mouth of the Catatumbo River in Venezuela creates weather conditions that lead to 160 consecutive stormy nights.
20. Flowering Desert: Every few years, after a particularly heavy rain, these deserts in Chile sprout flowers.
21. Great Blue Hole: This Belize attraction was formed through erosion way back when the sea level was much lower.
22. Monarch Butterfly Migration: Every year across the United States and Mexico, the beautiful butterflies gather in droves for their migration.
23. Underwater Water Fall: On the island of Mauritius, this sudden dip in ocean depth creates the illusion of an unusual water fall.
24. Volcanic Lightening: When a volcano explodes, the amount of electrical and static charges released can sometimes lead to this firey electrical storm.
25. White Rainbows: The arched fog looks like a ghost of a rainbow.
(via eBaum’s World.) I have a feeling that double white rainbows are even more rare than the regular kind.
