In one of the planet’s harshest deserts, you can find the only red waterfall on the globe. <\/p>\n

The red water falls slowly from the Taylor Glacier into Lake Bonney in Antarctica\u2019s McMurdo Dry Valley. <\/p>\n

Red colour occurs when iron-rich and oxygenless water is in contact with air. <\/p>\n

The rusting occurs as the water falls on the ice. <\/p>\n

The waterfall, located on one of the most difficult continents to access in the world, is a popular destination for tourists. <\/p>\n

Chartering a helicopter can take you to the red falls from an Antarctic research station nearby. <\/p>\n

You can also go on cruises to the waterfall, just make sure that you take the Ross Sea route. <\/p>\n

There are many other options for holidaymakers looking to see a natural wonder without having to charter a helicopter. <\/p>\n

Only four of the beaches on earth have green sand. <\/p>\n

All four of these beaches are located in Europe, North America and South America.<\/p>\n

The closest beach to the UK is Hornindalsvatnet in\u00a0Norway, which is also the deepest lake in Europe, with a depth of 1,686ft.<\/p>\n

You can also find green sand, which is a result of glacial movement that has formed green minerals over many thousands of years.<\/p>\n

Although it may not be the warmest place, or a sandy beach, this is the only spot in Europe that you will find the bizarre phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Other green sandy beaches include Papakolea beach on\u00a0Hawaii’s\u00a0Big Island, the island of Floreana in\u00a0Ecuador, and\u00a0Guam\u00a0at Talofofo Beach. <\/p>\n

There are also\u00a0black-sand beaches, including one in Tenerife, caused by volcanic rock.<\/p>\n

A beach in the Canary Islands even has\u00a0sand which looks like popcorn, due to the shape of the Coral<\/span>.<\/p>\n
