New Zealand 🇳🇿, luminous Waitomo Caves
The luminous Waitomo Caves are caves in northern New Zealand, known for their glowing firefly worms. The caves consist of many underground passages that can be explored on excursions.
In the dark, the ceiling and walls of the cave glow from the light of many glowing firefly worms, creating an impressive spectacular effect. In addition, underground rivers and waterfalls can be seen in the caves.
The cave is inhabited by amazing creatures — Arachnocampa Luminosa. These are fireflies that can only be found in New Zealand. Their green-blue glow makes the vault of the cave look like a starry sky on a frosty night.

Kazakhstan 🇰🇿, singing barkhan Aigaykum
The singing barkhan Baigakum (translated from Kazakh as "singing sands") is the main attraction of the Altyn-Emel National Park.
The singing dune is a mountain of pure quartz sand without vegetation, with a steep slope. When dry sand moves, the grains of sand rub against each other, which produces a long, loud sound similar to low singing. Therefore, the dune was called "Singing". Such a rare natural phenomenon is noted only in a few places in the world.

United Kingdom, Scotland, Dunfermline Abbey
In the center of Dunfermline, one of the historic cities of Scotland and its medieval capitals, there is a monastery belonging to the Benedictine Order. It is called Dunfermline Abbey. This place also serves as a tomb for many Scottish kings.
In 1070, Margaret, the granddaughter of King Edmund II of England, Ironside, married King Malcolm III of Scotland in Dunfermline. The Queen liked these parts so much that she decided to establish a religious community here and invite Benedictine monks from Canterbury here. So in 1072 Dunfermline Abbey was founded.
Norway 🇳🇴, Henningsver village
The settlement covers an area of only 0.3 km2. The population is slightly less than 500 people. This is a classic Scandinavian fishing village with well-preserved architecture. In addition , Henningswer is one of the most famous villages of Lofoten . The stunning atmosphere and the combination of traditional wooden architecture with modern art galleries make this island village one of a kind.
Oddly enough, the villagers love football very much, so a real stadium has been built here, conforming to the strict rules of UEFA. Imagine rocks where there is practically no level ground, and suddenly a stadium. Yes, not a simple yard, but a real one, with a smooth lawn, markings and other attributes. The main thing is not to hit the ball hard, so that it does not fly into the sea.

You never got that kind of Physics in school
I'm hooked on this crazy Harvard professor's video experiments. He illustrates interesting and simple Physics
— Melted steel + liquid = ?
— What if an atomic bomb is detonated in the Mariana Trench?
— Attempts to drown an anvil in mercury

New Zealand 🇳🇿, Milford Sound
The famous English traveler and writer Rudyard Kipling once visited the shores of Milford Sound and, impressed by what he saw, called this fjord the eighth wonder of the world.
Milford Sound is the most famous fjord on the southwestern tip of the south island of New Zealand. Like the fjords in the northern hemisphere, Milford Sound is the result of many thousands of years of activity of huge glaciers.
From the point of view of geology, Milford Sound is a classic sea fjord that appeared millions of years ago. It owes its existence to the glacier. Melting glaciers generated streams that made their way to the sea and pushed rocks and stones apart. Over time, the glaciers melted, leaving behind deep U-shaped valleys that quickly filled with water due to rising sea levels.

One of the peaks is the Tianzhushan Nature Reserve. During the Tang and Song empires, there were about 100 Taoist and Buddhist monasteries on the mountain slopes.
Iceland 🇮🇸
One of the most inaccessible waterfalls in Iceland is Aldejarfoss.
The waterfall is formed by the Skjalfandaflot River, which originates from the Vatnajokul glacier, one of the largest glaciers in Europe. In summer, when the temperature rises, the water in the river arrives and the waterfall becomes even more full-flowing and powerful.

France, Corsica, Bonifacio
Bonifacio is a place that amazes and enchants at first sight. The "pearl" of Corsica, as it is called here, for its beauty and the color of the sheer cliffs. The landscape is so beautiful that these massive rocks, sea caves and Lavezzi Islands are noticed by UNESCO and are under its auspices. Bonifacio is the very first city in Corsica, founded around 830 AD. He stands proudly above the sea on white cliffs 70-100 meters high and looks into the distance. From the top of the fortress, the neighboring country of Italy, or rather, the island of Sardinia, is visible.
Bonifacio consists of two parts: the port quarter, where the Marina for ships and yachts is located, and the Upper Town ("Citadel").
"Upper Town" is a walled old town, which is a maze of alleys, restaurants, museums and historical sites.
