10 Geological Wonders of The World
Nature have a lot of natural wonders. Each country has a stunning region. Here are a few places in the world all the 'wonders of geology' which you probably know, or did not you realize.
1. The Wave, United States
Located between Arizona and Utah, USA. This stunning red rock located on the border of Arizona and Utah, USA. The Wave is made up of sand dunes about 190 million years old who have been turned to stone.
Formation of a little-known people can only be accessed by walking through the lane rise as far as three miles.

2. Antelope Canyon, Arizona, United States
Antelope Canyon Antelope canyon or gorge is a well-known to be in Page, Coconino County, Arizona, United States.
This canyon area into the complex Navajo Indian Reservation, the largest shelter for Dine Indians of North America, which is also called the Navaho or Navajo.
Antelope Canyon formed by erosion of Navajo Sand Stone, mainly due to flash floods and then due to subaerial processes.

3. Great Blue Hole, Belize
Part of the Lighthouse Reef System, the Great Blue Hole is located about 60 miles from the mainland of Belize City. Shaped like a large hole is almost perfect, with a depth of about 125 meters and 300 meters in diameter.
Water depth is what makes a very blue color. This is believed to be the world's largest ocean holes and has a great attraction for divers.

4. Crystal Cave of the Giants (Mexico)
Found deep in a mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. Known as "the Sistine Chapel of Crystals", Mexico's Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) contains natural crystals are well known in the world. Such crystals have an average length of 11 meters.
5. Eye of the Sahara, or 'Eye Sahara' (Mauritania)
A land in Mauritania, south-western part of the Sahara Desert has a spectacular view. Threaded circle with a diameter of 30 miles - like eyes. So big it can be seen from space.
This formation was originally thought to be the impact of a meteorite collision but, geologists now believe this is the result of land elevation and erosion. However, what causes a circular shape, is still mysterious.

6. Blue Lake Cave (Brazil)
Area of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil has some beautiful underground lake, Gruta do Lago Azul there, Gruta do Mimoso, and Aquario Natural.
The most famous, Gruta do Lago Azul, or Blue Lake Cave - decorated with stalactites and stalagmites and incredible blue lake. Keindangan lake was very impressive.

7. Giants Causeway (Ireland)
Is an area of 40,000 consisting of pieces of the column. Giants Causeway is the result of ancient volcanic eruptions.
Located on the north-east coast of Northern Ireland, mostly hexagonal columns, although there are also some of the terms of the four, five, seven and eight. Column is 12 meters high, and high profits in the cliffs is 28 meters.

8. Hell Gate (Turkmenistan)
Contained in the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan. Near the remote village, inhabited by 350 people Derweze, there is a crater 60 meters wide and within 20 meters.
These craters are constantly issuing fire and burned for 38 years.
By locals, this smoldering crater called Crater Gas Darvaza or more well-known as the 'Gate of Hell'. This crater can be seen from a distance of several kilometers.
This is not a natural phenomenon, but rather the result of industrial accidents. In 1971, a Soviet drilling rig accident on an underground cave that holds the gas in massive quantities.
