- 1. Never-Ending lighting storm
In western Venezuela over the Catatumbo river there is a storm that never ceases, Starting at 7:00 p.m. Every night lighting crashes over the water 10 hours every night, 260 nights each year, Nobody nows for sure why it happens up until recently the leading theory was that it had something to do with uranium in the bedrock. Although scientists are starting to doubt it, today the leading theory is a complicated one, it posits that the shape of the mountains caused warm trade winds to collide with cold air from the andes, That collision is then fueled by rapidly evaporating water below and methane from a nearby oil field, nobody actually knows for sure though why it happens, everything about it is mysterious, including one moment in 2010 when it inexplicably stopped, one day the storm just died down whitout explanation and seemed for a while to be over, then after six weeks of silence, it sparked up again and has been raging ever since.↚
- 2. Devil's Kettle
As far as natural mysteries go, The devil's kettle in minnesota is one of the most intriguing ones, at a particular point along the brule river, the river's water splits into two, one split continues its course into the lake superior and the other split, well, we have no clue where it goes. Scientists know it has to end up somewhere, but we don't know where that is. Scientists first tried putting dye into the kettle and waited to see which part of the lake turns up colors, it was a futile effort, nothing turned up. We all know that laws of science dictate that the water has turn up somewhere, even if it being stored underground there should be markings and it should be traceable, but nobody knows.↚
- 3. Movile Cave
In southeastern romania, there is a cave that was locked away from the slightest ray of light for 5.5 million years, and that has a completely different atmosphere from the earth. The cave was discovered by workers looking to set up a power plant, they tested the ground to see if it was a safe place to build and cracked open a pathway that leads into one of the strangest places on earth. If you descend through the narrow shaft and past a series of tunnels, you enter a chamber with a lake of sulfuric water stinking of rotten eggs, the air there is toxic filled with hydrogen sulfide and contaminated with 100 times the surfaces level of carbon dioxide, The stragest part though. is that a whole ecosystem has survived inside it. researchers have found 33 species inside the cave that don't exist anywhere outside of it.↚

Deep in the Amazon, a river four miles long and unlike any other on earth, The shehnai Tim fishka is so hot that any animal that steps into it it gets boiled alive, when a hapless creature wanders in, the eyes cook first melting in its skull, soon the animal is in too much pain to keep swimming to safety, water fills its mouth and lungs and it is cooked from the inside out, the river gets as hot 91 degrees Celsius, 196 degrees fahrenheit and scientists aren't completely sure why, Normally water that gets this hot is fed by a volcano, but this one is 700 Kilometres removed from the nearedt one, There is a theory though, Scientists believe that boiling hot water from under the earth cracks through fault lines and heats up the river, making the water a geothermal system unlike any other on earth.
