4. Enchanted River is found in Philippines . It is called “enchanted” because no one
has ever reached its bottom. Many people, including scuba divers, have tried
reaching for the bottom but have failed, hence the legend of its bottomless pit.
Moreover, locals share that NOBODY has been successful in catching the fish in
this river, whether by hand or by spear. They say its bluish color is a result of its
depth and the water clarity changes throughout the day. At around 12:00 pm, the
water becomes clearer and even more majestic.
15. Poland has a forest full of bent pine
trees (Crooked Forest).
16. Christ the Redeemer Statue
overlooking the whole of Rio was
pretty special. You could see it from
everywhere you went. I also have to
say that the majority of the people
who lived there, including the
'natives' (especially in the favelas)
knew exactly who it was and
respected it and what it stands for.
18. The Astonishing Annual Red
Crab Migration.
Each year millions of bright red
land crabs leave their burrow
homes on Australia 's
Christmas Island and start a
long, laborious trek toward the
sea. They descend cliffs, climb
banks and maneuver around
obstacles to reach the shoreline
and lay their eggs, eventually
returning to the island's central
plateau with their offspring in
tow. The synchronized
migration resembles a crimson-colored
river undulating across
the island and can last up to 18
days. The event typically takes
place in November or December
(the crabs will only move when
it's raining) and coincides with
the turning of high tide and the
arrival of the waning moon.
