7 Places Unique in the World
- Salar de Uyuni.
It is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers or 4,085 square miles. It is located in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes, 3,650 meters. The main minerals found in the salar are halite and gypsum.
Because of its large size, smooth surface, high surface reflection when covered with shallow water, and a minimum altitude deviation, Salar de Uyuni makes an ideal target for testing and calibration of satellite remote sensing instruments are used to study the Earth's orbit.
Salar de Uyuni is estimated to contain 10 billion tons of salt, which is less than 25,000 tonnes per year is extracted. Every November, Salar de Uyuni is also the breeding ground for three species of flamingoes South America: Chile, James and Andean flamingoes.

From South America, let's move into Asia, the continent with the largest population.
- Chocolate Hills: Bohol, Philippines
Chocolate Hills is the most famous tourist attraction in Bohol. This popular tourist spot is currently ranked number 6 in the list of New Seven Wonders of the world. Chocolate Hills consists of around 1,268 perfectly cone-shaped pile of dry grass hills with height ranging from 40-120 meters. The Chocolate Hills is a natural wonder of The Hills is considered as the Philippine National Geological Monument
During the summer, the dome-shaped, grass-covered limestone hills dry up and turn brown turning the area into a row of chocolate "kisses," hence the name.
There is no natural formation like this in the world. From a distance, they looked like half a ball grown out of the ground. The molehill-shaped and almost uniformly sized dot the hills with views of green and brown. - Pamukkale Springs: Turkey
Do you want to experience a new kind of shower? Well, try bathing in hot springs at Pamukkale. Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, which is located in western Turkey. It is a natural site and famous tourist attractions. This unique hot water is 2,700 meters long and 160 meters high and can be seen from a distance. Approximately 250 liters of hot water containing large amounts of hydrogen carbonate and calcium increased from the spring every second. This natural phenomenon leaves thick white layers of limestone and travertine cascading down the mountain slope, which resembles a frozen waterfall.
Let us move from Asia to Europe, the second smallest continent. - The Burren: Ireland
This place is truly a unique place to see. This is a place where there are no trees to hang a man. A place where there is not enough water to drown himself. And if you finally managed to kill him, it was too rocky to bury. This place occupies an area of approximately 300 square kilometers.
Burren's landscape is a special place. Everywhere the former Megalithic Tombs (like this famous Poulnabrone), ring forts, Souterrains, monuments, wells and sacred stones lined up. There are relics of human settlement dating back nearly 6,000 years. In this area alone there are over 60 wedge tombs and the densest concentration in Ireland.
Burren is situated in the south of Galway in County Clare, Ireland. Burren means "rocky place." The large number of stone work on the imagination of people. Not only 3000 years BC, but even today the stones are stacked in good shape, even perhaps with some (unknown) purposes.
There are also different rock formations in this place. The area is also rich in ecclesiastical history sites. - Camargue Marsh: FranceCamargue is home to over 400 species of birds, saltwater pool provides one of the few European habitats for the greater flamingo.
The marshes are also a prime habitat for many species of insects, especially (and famous) some of the most ferocious mosquitoes can be found anywhere in France. It is also famous Camargue cattle and horses.
From Europe, let's go to the world's hottest continent - Africa. - Djoudj Sanctuary: Senegal
The marshes are also a prime habitat for many species of insects, especially (and famous) some of the most ferocious mosquitoes can be found anywhere in France. It is also famous Camargue cattle and horses. - Palung Mariana: Pacific Ocean
It is the perfect place for those who love the water or deep sea adventure - the Mariana Trench. This is a good place to see some of the most unique sea creatures too, like the amphipod above.
Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the world's oceans, and the deepest location on the surface of the crust. It has a maximum depth of about 11 km (6.8 miles), and is located in the western North Pacific Ocean, to the east and south
