5 Most Mysterious Places On Earth

“The less you reveal the more people can wonder.” There are certain mysteries in this world that have turned the heads of all the individuals on this planet. Hitherto, the smartest minds could not crack the mystery behind them and are still an enigma for all. All such places always entice me; I am always very inquisitive to know more about them just like most of you out there. Knowing the unknown is the interest of the maximum population on mother earth. I envy those people who are in the job of studying such places. But my true interest in this subject helped me in making a list of 5 most mysterious places on earth which I would be sharing with you.

The Bermuda Triangle: What would a list of mysterious places be without a mention of the Bermuda Triangle? For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s a triangular area in the Atlantic ocean, between Miami, Bermuda and San Juan. Over the years, the area has captured our imaginations, with reports of seemingly unexplainable disappearances of planes, ships and people. No one can say for sure what happened in these cases, but theories are as far ranging as sea monsters, alien abduction and simple weather conditions. Hence, it is easily one of the 5 most mysterious places on earth.

Richat Structure: The Richat Structure is also known as the Eye of the Sahara. It’s a distinct and prominent circular geographical feature in the Sahara Desert. At roughly 30 miles wide, you probably wouldn’t notice that you were within it, but from an aerial view – and even from space – it is highly visible. Originally, it was thought to be the product of an asteroid impact and later people thought it could have been created by a volcanic eruption. The main school, of thought today says that it was once a circular rock formation that has gradually been eroded. Several mysteries still surround the areas, such as why the structure is nearly a perfect circle and why the rings are equidistant from each other.

McMurdo Dry Valleys: The McMurdo Dry Valleys could be the most secret place on Earth. This little-known area is one of the most extreme deserts and perhaps the driest place in the world – receiving just 4 inches of precipitation each year – but strangely it’s located slap bang in the middle of the usual ice and snow of Antarctica. Rather than being covered in snow, this bleak and barren landscape is completely bare. The area even lacks any terrestrial vegetation, although some lichens, mosses and nematodes live there. Scientists have said that the Dry Valley area is probably the place on this planet that is most similar to the environment on Mars.

Mount Roraima: Mount Roraima is particularly unusual to look at because, rather than finishing in a peak like most mountains, its top is a large plateau. It’s thought to be amongst the world’s oldest geological formations, and its plateau was most likely created by winds and rains. The plateau is often cloaked with clouds, which are more often than not near the top of the mountain. It has a particularly large number of endemic species of flora and fauna – species that can be found nowhere else on Earth. There’s no explanation as to why it has such an unusually large amount.

Moguicheng: Moguicheng is a desert in the Xinjiang region of China. The name literally translates to City of Satan or Devil’s City. Walking through the desert toward an old abandoned city, people have reported some extremely strange occurrences. Visitors are adamant that they’ve heard a range of mysterious sounds floating on the breeze, from weird melodies and the sound of guitar strings gently being plucked to babies crying and tigers roaring. These sounds are apparently inexplicable, nobody has yet been able to find any sort of source.
