Mother Nature has created a series of great masterpieces all over the world. Most of them have been discovered and honored by humans. Each work of art of that creation has its own beauty, unmixed, unlike any other. Let's join Toplist to admire the natural wonders with the most surreal beauty in the world through the following article.
1. Fly Geyser - Mars on Earth
The Black Desert (110 km long, 32 km wide) is part of the saltwater lake Laontan that has dried up. This lake existed as far back as 7000 BC (during the last years of the Ice Age). Inside this area there are many black cliffs, volcanoes and sparkling geysers. The most prominent of them are the Fly geysers with strange beautiful colors created by minerals, seaweed and cyanobacteriae (bacteria with green and blue colors).
The Fly geyser is not a completely natural phenomenon. In 1916, the owner of a private ranch drilled a well in the hope that the desert would turn into fertile grassland, when he accidentally hit a pocket of geothermal water. However, it was only in 1964 that hot water began to spew out on the surface of the well.
With the perfect combination of vibrant colors, light and beautiful views, the Fly geyser has sparked endless inspiration for photographers around the world to create photos. Surely visitors will never forget the strange and beautiful images like on Mars when coming to Fly geyser, Nevada. Every year, this tourist destination attracts thousands of tourists to visit and learn.
2. Son Doong Cave - The World's Largest Cave

Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park has the oldest limestone mountain system in Asia, formed 400 to 450 million years ago. The analysis of fossil sediment samples determined that Son Doong cave formed relatively young - dating back to 3 million years old. Son Doong formed on a fault of the Truong Son mountain range and was eroded by the Rao Thuong river over millions of years, forming a giant tunnel beneath the limestone mountains. Cracks in the ceiling of the cave were corroded and subsided, forming large sinkholes that opened to the outside. Drops of water falling from the ceiling over millions of years create cave pearls the size of baseballs. Inside that magnificent space is a separate world, a rare natural wonder that surprised the conquerors of Son Doong.
During the first survey, the British Royal Caving Team had to return because it could not overcome the giant 90m high stalactite wall near the end of Son Doong cave - known as the Vietnam Wall. Until the second return with full specialized equipment in 2010, the group of cave experts was able to overcome the giant stalactite wall to get out of the cave. It was not until this time that the survey team confidently claimed to have found the largest cave in the world. The length of Son Doong cave is nearly 9km, in some places the ceiling height is up to 200m, 160m wide, big enough to accommodate a neighborhood in New York with 40-story buildings. With an estimated measured volume of 38.5 million cubic meters, Son Doong surpassed Deer Cave in Malaysia to become the largest natural cave in the world.

The Crystal Cave is actually a kingdom of giant crystal columns sprouting from the cliffs and bottom of the cave. The largest crystal block is up to 11m long and weighs 55 tons.
The researchers believe that the largest crystals of the cave accumulated more than 500,000 years ago. Crystals in the cave were able to reach such enormous sizes thanks to a combination of many natural conditions over the past 10,000 years. In the cave, the temperature often reaches nearly 58 degrees Celsius, with humidity about 90-99%. The air here contains acid and no natural light, so it is very inhospitable to humans.
