You won’t believe that there were so many dream-like places exist right on our planet, and we never even knew about it. Here are dream-like Places that look like paintings and scenes from science fiction movies.

Sentinels of the Arctic, Finland

They are actually giant trees covered in snow and ice. This strange sight occurs in winter, when temperatures range from -40 to -15 degrees centigrad.

Salar De Uyuni, Bolivia

The world’s largest salt flat becomes the world’s largest mirror during rainy season. The Salar was born when several prehistoric lakes joined into one.

Tianzi Mountains, China

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.

Antelope Canyon, Arizona, United States

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.

Turquoise Ice, Lake Baikal, Russia

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.

Glowworm Caves, Waitomo, New Zealand

This grotto and radiate a luminescent light are actually thousands of tiny glowworms hang to the ceiling, creating a scene straight out of a movie.

Pamukkale Hot Springs, Turkey

It look like these terraces are made of ice and snow.  The ground is just coated in white limestone.

Caño Cristales River, Colombia

Perhaps this is the most beautiful river in the world. This flowing river appears in yellow, green, blue, black and red as you travel along it due to its extensive habitat of fauna and flora, Some of the rocks here are around 1.2 billion years old.

Mount Roraima, South America

This tabletop mountain, one of the oldest mountains on Earth,  formed two billion years ago when the land was lifted high above the ground by tectonic activity. The sides of the mountain are sheer vertical cliffs, with several waterfalls, one of the waterfall has been claims to be the world longest waterfall,  making it almost impossible to climb.

Aogashima, Japan (Volcano within a volcano ?)

Aogashima located 200 miles off the coast of Tokyo. It is a  is a volcanic island, there’s a smaller volcano within the volcano island.

Underwater River, Cenote Angelita, Mexico

It is actually another flowing body of water. The river is full of hydrogen sulfate, which is much heavier than normal salt water. When it sinks to the bottom, it forms a flow of its own.

Hidden Beach, Mexico

This awesome hidden beach was created by a military explosion test in early 1900s. The surrounding islands were deemed a nature park, you have to swimming through a fifty foot tunnel in order to get there.
