10 Real Places On Earth That
Seem Scientifically
Impossible
Have you ever thought of a place that could not possibly exist? Like a boiling river? Or a volcano with
blue lava? Or an underwater park?
If you have, you may have dismissed these places as areas that just couldn't happen. I mean, how would
a boiling river even exist? How would it look like? That's a strange question to answer, certainly.
But that's exactly the question we'll be answering in today's video. We'll be giving you a tour of 10
places that are totally real but should not be able to exist— but they do anyway.
And yes, one of those places is an actual boiling river.
#10 The Bleeding Glacier
To know why a bleeding glacier is quite impossible, we have to know what a glacier is first. A glacier is a
slowly moving mass or river of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow on mountains
or near the poles.
Now, this glacier is actually near the poles and it is located in Antarctica. The glacier is about five stories
tall and actually forms a weird waterfall. The waterfall pours out of the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica's
McMurdo Dry Valleys and was first found by a team of geologists in 1911.
But what attracted this team of geologists to the glacier in the first place? What made it stand out?
Well, it was the color. The glacier looks blood-red from afar and looks like it is bleeding. This, of course,
is a very irregular sight because we know that glaciers are generally white.
But how did this happen? Well, apparently about two million years ago, a small body of water sealed
beneath the glacier. Since the water was isolated from the rest of the world, the microbes in it evolved
differently. This increased the salinity and iron content of the sealed water. Recently, a small fissure
opened in the glacier cap and this allowed the now red water to flow out its side. And this is the reason
the glacier is actually bleeding.

#9 The Underwater Park

In Austria, there's a beautiful park with hiking trails that you can jog through any morning. Well, not any
morning. The park is only really functional in autumn. If you'd like to jog in the park during spring, you
would have to bring a different sort of outfit.
Like a scuba gear.
Yes, that's right. During spring, the park is completely submerged in water. But how is this possible?
How can water swallow an entire park? Well, the park is near the Hochschwab Mountains. The
mountains get completely covered by snow in the winter. The snow on the mountain is so much that
when it melts, the park's lake actually doubles in size, and yes, that drowns the park.
If you swim in the lake during spring you'll see the hiking trails, the park benches, bridges and beaches
under the water. After spring is done and autumn is on its way, the lake starts to recede and the park
comes alive once more.
How remarkable.

#8 The Lighting That Never Ends
A lot of people are scared of thunderstorms. Most dogs don't like it, and most people would rather have
their earphones plugged in while thunderstorms rage on. Thankfully, we do not live in places where
thunder and lighting never end.
However, there is such a place like that. In western Venezuela, just over that Catatumbo river is lighting
that never ends. The show of lighting starts at 7 pm every night and it clashes over the river for 10 hours
each night. This happens about two hundred and sixty nights every year.
Now, we do not know exactly why this happens. We used to believe it had something to do with the
uranium in the river's bedrock, but scientists have begun to doubt even that. Today, scientists believe
that the shape of the mountains allows warm winds to collide with cold air from the Andes. That
collision is then fueled by methane from a nearby oilfield and the rapidly evaporating water from below.
But even that is just a theory. No one can tell for sure why it happens. In fact, things got even more
confusing when the lighting inexplicably stopped in 2010. However, it resumed again after six weeks and
has been going strong ever since.

#7 The Blue Pond Of Hokkaido
Have you ever seen a pond that looks like it's made of Kool-Aid? Do you think such a pond could ever
exist?

On the Japanese Island of Hokkaido, there's an actual lake that may just be made of Kool-Aid.
The water in the lake is a unique shade of blue that looks eerily like something you may find in a video
game or a feature movie. As the seasons change, the water of the lake changes even more as it goes
through shades of green and blue.
But how did this happen?
