5. Door to Hell (Derweze): Turkmenistan
It may look natural, but it’s actually a massive crater created during a natural gas drilling operation in the 1970s. To prevent the leakage of toxic gases, geologists decided to set it on fire to burn off the gas — and it has been burning ever since.

6. Blue Ice Caves (Skaftafell ice caves): Iceland
This phenomenon can only be seen for a short period each year. In late January or February, when heavy rains wash away the surface layer of the glacier, light is able to penetrate the ice, creating a stunning blue glow.
