you'll see a wild Canadian in his natural habitat.

Oh, he's a shy one.

- Hello.

So on Earth there are a lot

of things that have the ability

to strike us with pure wonderment,

many of which you've probably already heard

of, like the Great Wall of China,

the Pyramids of Egypt,

and the Coliseum in Rome,

but as impressive as those things are,

there exists things on Earth

that nature has created naturally

that are so beautiful and complex

that they rival even the greatest

of mankind's architectural accomplishments.

So, this week I gathered some of the most fascinating

creations of nature to share with you all.

So, here they are.

The ten most amazing wonders of nature

that you've never seen.

Number one is the Cano Cristals River in Columbia.

Located in central Columbia,

Serrania de la Macarena National Park,

this river has inspired such nicknames as

"The River of Five Colors"

and "The River that Ran Away to Paradise".

Known as one of the most beautiful rivers in the world,

the water here runs crystal clear year round.

That is until the water level dips during the brief

window between the wet and dry season

and then something really cool happens.

When the water level dips,

the sun's rays provide just enough light to make

the moss in the lake explode into a kaleidoscope

of colors, including pink, blue, yellow, and green,

making the lake look like a liquid rainbow.

This lake is really cool to look at,

but not to swim in,

because you'd probably emerge

from it looking like a furry rainbow Cookie Monster.

Unless, you want to be a furry rainbow,

in which case, you go girl.

Number two is The Stone Forest in China,

located in the Yunnan Province

of China are giant stalagmite-looking rocks

that jut straight out of the ground.

These mountainous rocks cover an area

of 350 km, giving the illusion of a forest made of stone.

Approximately, 270 million years ago,

the entire area was underwater

and the sea floor was covered in limestone.

Over time the seabed rose, the water dried up,

and as the rain and wind eroded the weaker rock,

the stronger limestone spires began to form,

leaving what we see today.

Of course, that explanation isn't quite as curious

as the legend of the forest, which is that the forest

was a birthplace of a girl named Ashima,

who after falling in love, was forbidden to marry

her chosen suitor

and instead turned into a stone in the forest

that still bears her name.

(sniffles)

Gets me right in the feels.

Number three is the Marble Caves in Chile,

located in Patagonia, Chile,

these caves are considered the most beautiful

cave network in the world.

6,000 years of erosion have carved out these intricate

caves out of giant pieces of marble,

giving them a unique look not found anywhere else

in the world.

The walls of the cave shimmer with vibrant colors

of green, deep blue, and turquoise

from the reflection of the Carrera Lake

below it.

What's really interesting about this place is

that the colors observed

and the overall experience for the tourists

who kayak through the caves

are always different depending

on the light, the water level, and the time of year,

which are always changing.

I know where I'm going on my next vacation.

Number four are the Sarisarinama Sinkholes

in Venezuala.

Located in the Bolivar state of Venezuala

near the border of Brazil is a flat-topped mountain

with some very distinct features.

At the top of the mountain are four massive

and perfectly circular sinkholes

up to 352 meters wide

and 314 meters deep.

The sinkholes are surrounded by

an isolated, lush green rainforest filled

with several native species of animals.

In fact, the entire area is so isolated

that the sinkholes weren't discovered

until 1961 when I pilot flying overhead

accidentally spotted them below.

Today, the entire area is completely restricted

so that not even scientific researchers can perform

studies on the site.

Personally I think that's a good thing.

I mean, I'm all in for scientific research,

but not at the expense of disturbing "Fern Gully".

Leave those little creatures alone.

They're just having adventures.

Number five is the Cave of the Crystals in Mexico.

Located in Naica, Mexico is a cave 300 meters

below the surface

that's filled with beautifully clear selenite crystals

of massive proportions.

Also known as "Giant Crystal Cave",

the gypsum crystals found here are so huge

that the largest found was 12 meters

in length, four meters in diameter,

and weighed 55 tons.

Surprisingly, this cave was only discovered

in the year 2000

and the majority of it remains unexplored

due to the extreme heat within it

that can reach as high as 58 degrees Celsius.

This place is truly amazing,

not just because of it's beauty,

but because it's the closest thing

that we've ever seen in real life

to Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

Hella cool.

Number six is the Ice Towers of Mount Erebus

in Antarctica.

Located on Ross Island is the second highest

active volcano in Antarctica called Mount Erebus.

On the frozen slopes of the volcano are 18 meter

tall ice towers that continuously spit out steam

from the caves below them.

In a place where temperatures reach -93 degrees Celsius,

these huge steam spitting ice towers look

almost magical.

What's fascinating is that these majestic glittering

towers don't melt because the ice that makes

them is so thick that it acts as an insulator,

preventing them from melting

from the super heated volcanic gases that pass

through them.

Number seven is The Eye of the Sahara in Mauritania.

Located in west central Mauritania in Africa,

this enormous circular depression stretches

nearly 50 kilometers across,

making it look like a giant bulls-eye.

Also known as the "Richat Structure"

this landmark formed over time

as wind continuously eroded its different layers

of sediment, quartzite, and volcanic rock.

Visually what's incredible about it is

not only did it form in an otherwise featureless desert,

but the salt sediment present makes

it a beautiful blue color.

What makes this structure so incredible is despite

extensive field and laboratory studies,

geologists still lack an explanation

as to its origin.

It was originally interpreted as an asteroid impact.

Then, it was thought to be a structure created

from a volcanic eruption

and now it's argued to be a deeply eroded geologic dome,

that's collapsed,

but that's still just a theory.

Well, until we get solid evidence as

to the origins of this structure,

I think there's a much simpler explanation.

Number eight is the Waitomo Glowworm Caves

in New Zealand.

Located on the northern island of New Zealand

is a cave that glows brilliantly,

like nothing you've ever seen.

Hundreds of thousands of mosquito-sized

bio-luminescent glowworms radiate a tiny blue light

as they have from the ceiling of the Waitomo Cave

creating what looks like a sky of living lights.

The specie of glowworm that's found in this cave

is actually exclusive to New Zealand

and can't be found anywhere else in the world,

making it a very popular tourist attraction.

I was curious,

so I looked up a little more on glowworms themselves

and as it turns out, they're pretty hideous

and on top of that they spin these sticky silky threads

to capture and eat their prey,

which is not at all what I expected based

on the glowworm that I had as a child.

I was pretty devastated.

Number nine is the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River

in the Philippines.

Located in a protected area on the island of Palawan

is the 8 kilometer long St. Paul's underground river.

Not only is the river itself the world's largest navigable

underground river, but the cave that contains

it is the world's largest cave chamber

stretching for more than 24 kilometers.

Only a short time ago in 2010, geologists discovered

a second floor to the underground river,

where they found beautiful waterfalls,

underground river channels,

marine creatures, and even another deep cave.

These newly discovered deep areas

of the cave have yet to be explored due

to extreme oxygen deprivation,

which is just another fancy way of saying

that people that went down there to explore it

ended up like

(gasping)

which is, not good, so yeah in time.

And number ten, The Giant's Causeway

in the United Kingdom.

Located in Northern Ireland are 40,000 interlocking basalt

columns forming what looks like a walkway for a colossus.

Named the fourth greatest natural wonder in the UK,

these stones formed approximately 55 million years ago

as a result of an ancient volcanic eruption.

The columns are mostly hexagonal,

some of which are

12 meters tall and 28 meters thick.

What's interesting is that the tops of the columns

form stepping stones that lead directly into the sea

almost as if it was the entrance of a giant's pool.

This place is of course not without legend,

which is that the structure was built

by a giant named Finn MacCool

as a meeting ground for a fight with another

Scottish giant named Benandonner.

Of course an Irish legend has to involve a fight.

The only thing more stereotypical would be

if the giants went out for a Guinness after the fight.

Anyways, that's all for this video, guys.

If you're wondering why Niagara Falls

or other big landmarks like that weren't on this list.

It's because I wanted to focus on the wonders of nature

that you haven't heard of as opposed

to the ones that you have.
