These tall and thin mountains are so alien that they were used in the movie “Avatar.” Formed underwater 380 million years ago, reached over 4,000 feet above sea level. The flow destroyed surrounding sandstone, leaving only resilient stone pillars.
Skaftafell Ice Cave, Iceland
These ices are temporary structures that form at the edge of glaciers when flowing water melts a hole into glaciers. The ice has very few air bubbles and absorbs all light except for blue, giving the ice its blue color.

This canyon was formed by millions of years of flowing water that carved out a deep, yet narrow crevice. Since significantly less light makes it down to the deeper depths, the walls often appear to be different colors.

The oldest freshwater lake in the world. In the winter, the lake freezes, but the water is so clear that you can see 130 feet below the ice. Frost and sun cause cracks in the ice crust in March, which results in the turquoise ice shards we see at the surface.
