2. PAMUKKALE THERMAL POOLS, TURKEY

4. LAKE HILIER, AUSTRALIA
Western Australia is home to many of pink lakes. No one really knows why it's pink, but scientists suggest that the colour comes from a dye produced by the bacteria that lives in the water.
5. GRAND PRISMATIC SPRING, USA

7. HUACACHINA, PERUVIAN DESERT
Huacachina is a small village in the Ica Region of Peru. It is a picturesque desert oasis built around a natural lake and surrounded by enormous sand dunes.
8. DOOR TO HELL, TURKMENISTAN
Derweze is rich in natural gas and while drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground collapsed leaving a large hole 70 meters in diameter. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided that the best solution would be to burn it off and they expected the fire to use all the fuel in a matter of days, but the gas is still burning today. Locals have named it “The Door of Hell”.
9. THE EPIC CANYON
This epic canyon in Greenland was recently discovered. It has characteristics of a winding river channel and is at least 460 miles long, making it longer than the Grand Canyon. It was discovered by accident as scientists researching climate change mapped Greenland’s bedrock by radar. Humans, not existing four million years ago, had never seen the canyon before. If the Greenland ice sheet melts completely it will raise the global sea level by seven meters and swamp major cities, so this is one great geographical feature that hopefully won’t become a tourist destination.
