  (#8) Where The Wall Drops At St. Croix

  The deep waters of St. Croix are home to the Caribbean island's second largest living reef, as well as some other mysterious creatures that lurk within its sudden, two-mile drop in the ocean floor.

  Luscious, crystal blue waters turn dark and menacing where the cold abyss dives down thousands of feet into an open, liquid void. As a vertical portal to the deep ocean interiors, one can only help but wonder what awaits them down below.

  (#12) The Blood Falls Of Taylor Glacier

  For years Taylor Glacier in Antarctica has been the site of one of the most unusual and strangely horrifying natural sights on this Earth: a bloody waterfall. While it's not actually blood pouring down the side of the glacier, the appearance of Blood Falls on the Taylor Glacier has left plenty of people wide-eyed and more than just a little creeped out since it was discovered in 1911. 

  In 2017 it was discovered that the red color is actually the result of oxidized iron in brine saltwater. The change occurs when the briney saltwater becomes exposed to oxygen, essentially dying the water a blood red color. While the explanation might make it a little less horrifying, it's still a bizarre phenomenon to witness.

  (#13) Ethiopian Danakil Depression Zone

  Getting basically no rain during the year, the desolate wasteland of the Danakil Depression is one of the hottest places on Earth, and it lies 410 feet below sea level on the dry and unforgiving planes of Ethiopia.

  When it does rain, the heat quickly absorbs what little water there is, leaving the flooring of the Danakil Depression cracked and sunbaked. Active volcanoes give life to full-fledged lava lakes, huge salt pans, and colorful, alien-looking hydrothermal fields that span across the Depression.

  (#9) The Death Zone Of Mount Everest

  When climbing the towering heights of Mount Everest, there comes a point where oxygen becomes scarce and it is impossible to breathe. It's literally referred to as the "Death Zone," and many-a-hiker who has ventured there unprepared has not returned with a story to tell.

  Retrieving the bodies that have been lost up in the altitudes of Everest takes great effort and puts more people at risk of death, so once a body is lost up there, it will most likely remain.

  (#10) The Bat-Filled Gomantong Caves Of Malaysia

  An undulating and intricate system of caverns comprises what is known as the Gomantong Caves in Malaysia. As a cave surrounded by hot, dank rainforest, the caves are known to harbor an unending multitude of bats who have stacked up a hundred-foot tower of guano within its dark corridors. This stack of poop has invited in some rather nasty guests, including entire walls of cockroaches and other vile parasites.

  (#5) The Deadly Madidi National Park

  Madidi National Park is a jungle of uninhabited, uncivilized land, discarded by Bolivia for good reason. The park itself might sound like a paradise, untouched by human folly and flourishing with beautiful scenery, plants, and wildlife... but it would more accurately be described as a death trap.

  The national park is extremely alluring, and also extremely dangerous. It is home to a diverse collection of animals and plants that might be awe-inspiring, but they're mercilessly toxic and vile, capable of maiming and poisoning humans, leading many unwary travels to an early grave.
