The world is amazing. Planet Earth is the single most interesting thing in the entire solar system, mostly because it is our world. This big rock we call home has a huge variety of splendid, remote places we can visit and explore, but it is the little things we tend to love the most. There are some truly amazing wonders that have been birthed on the planet, and most people pass them by on a regular basis without a second thought, sadly. Here are 6 of the most amazing natural wonders.

A red tide is rather uncommon, but it occurs when an algal bloom, which happens with a large concentration algae. When said algae is present in high volumes, the water they encompass tend to appear discolored, generally purple, pink, or red and green.

Columnar Basalt are weird rock formations that result when lava begins to cool too quickly. Fractures within the cooled rock begin to form in odd shapes, though most of them tend to have six sides at a time. They can be found in the Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland.

The Moeraki Boulders are weirdly shaped spherical boulders that rest along a single stretch of beach in New Zealand. They tend to be scattered or clustered together, and are protected by the local government as part of a scientific reserve.

Penitentes are cone-shaped snow formations that occur at higher altitudes. They are generally thin blade-like formations that are spaced closely together and pointed upwards towards the sun. Some can be as large as a grown adult.
2. Light Pillars

Light pillars are spectacular phenomenon that are caused by light reflected from numerous ice crystals in the upper atmosphere or clouds. Moonlight and artificial light have been known to cause this phenomenon, too. They are most common when the sun is low on the horizon.
