17) Spotted Lake
The Spotted Lake is a saline endorheic alkali lake and is located just outside of Osoyoos, Canada. The lake contains various minerals, such as magnesium sulphate, calcium and sodium sulphates, it also contains silver and titanium. Most of the water in the lake evaporates over summer, revealing the minerals, making it look colorful. Large spots appear on the lake and are colored according to the mineral composition and seasonal amount of precipitation. Some of the minerals in the lake harden, forming walkways around and between the spots.
18)Glowing Beach
A beach in the Maldives, known as the Glowing Beach, literally has waves that glow when they hit the beach. Some species of phytoplankton are known to bioluminesce for self-defense, even though the light would make them visible to things that are likely to eat them. They only produce the glow when they sense something that may consume them, but this can also be triggered due to waves or footprints.
