Colorful natural phenomena in the world
Mother Nature always creates countless magical beauties for humans. Let's admire the phenomena below to feel the magnificence of creation.
|
| Monarch butterfly migration, Mexico:Millions of monarch butterflies migrate south from Canada to Mexico in the winter, transforming the fir trees of Michoacan into a haven and adding artistic flair to the landscape. The best time to see this spectacular sight is from January to March, when the days are warmer. |
|
| Synchronous Fireflies, USA:Once a year during mating season, fireflies put on an amazing light show on the Smoky Mountains. While most fireflies don’t emit their light at the same time, Synchronous fireflies do. This creates a stunning display of light around the mountain. The famous movie Avatar was apparently inspired by this. |
|
| Cano Cristales Algae, Colombia:In northern Colombia lies the world’s most colorful river. The phenomenon is actually caused by a type of algae called Cano Cristales. The river’s magical scenery allows you to gaze at a kaleidoscope of colors, from mustard yellow to brilliant lilac. |
|
| Red crab migration, Christmas Island:Every year during mating season, red crabs from Christmas Island make their way ashore and flood the highways. The entire Christmas Island coastline is awash with the red crustaceans. |
|
| Desert of Flowers, Chile:During the wettest periods of the year (usually thanks to El Niño), the desert fields burst into bloom, bringing life to the usually barren land of Chile. The best time to see this phenomenon is from September to November. |
|
| Aurora Borealis, Norway:Norway is one of the world's most famous places to see the Northern Lights. The streaks of color paint the sky like a true work of art. The best time to see this phenomenon is from late September to late March. |
|
| Coral spawning season, Australia:Australia’s beautiful coral reefs are one of the most colourful natural wonders in the world. But they are even more brilliant during the breeding season. This phenomenon has been described as a massive underwater snowstorm, releasing and scattering coral colonies far and wide. |
|
| “Blue Tide” in Toyama Bay, Japan:Every year, the Toyama Bay coastline is lit up by the blue light of the squid that live there. They have the ability to glow, hence the name “firefly squid”. The picture they create of Toyama Bay is like a classic work drawn by the famous painter Van Gogh using pointillism. |
