#10 Salt Piles at Salar de Uyuni
Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, is one of the most distinct natural landmarks in the world. The immense plains of salt are viewable from space and are a huge attraction for tourists and photographers. After rainfall, the plains turn into an enormous reflective mirror that creates a surreal landscape. The piles of salt ready for harvest only add to the uncanny imagery.
9 Giant’s Causeway
The Giant’s Causeway is a huge oceanside area in Northern Ireland comprised of giant interlocking columns of basalt rock. Most of the columns are hexagonal in shape and perfectly fit together creating a surreal almost game-like environment. Scientifically speaking the columns were created by an ancient volcanic explosion, but it gains its name from the popular legend that the cliffs were built as a causeway by a giant in ancient times.
8 Balance Rock
In the Garden of Gods in Colorado Springs there are a plethora of beautiful red rock formations, but possibly the most iconic of these rocks is Balance Rock - a huge boulder that seems like it could fall over at any moment. It is destined to fall over eventually when erosion or another damage dislodges it from its gripping points. Go and see Balance Rock before it falls over and becomes just a normal rock.
7 Balancing Rock, Canada
There is another precarious rock, but this seems to be even more impossible. The Balancing Rock in Nova Scotia is believed to be standing for thousands of years. It’s about 30 feet tall and seems to be just standing straight up out of pure will.
6 Fly Geyser
This erupting rock is Fly Geyser, an accidental man-made geothermal geyser in Washoe County. The fountain was created in 1964 when people were exploring sources of geothermal energy and accidentally drilled into a well. The well was never capped properly and has now become a geyser that shoots water into the air, creating the ever growing rock formation around it. It looks like a weird alien structure because of thermophilic algae that thrive in the high temperatures Fly Geyser generates.
5 Split Apple Rock
Tokangawhā, aka Split Apple Rock, is a geological rock formation off the coast of South Island of New Zealand. It is a structure made of granite and looks almost like it was deliberately cut in half. This cleft was natural, though, with no help from any humans. What exactly could have cut this boulder in half is a mystery although theories include water creeping into the rock, freezing, and expanding to break the rock. It’s a popular spot for tourists to take the exact same photo every year.
4 Moeraki Boulders
The Moeraki Boulders are unusually large and spherical boulders that are spread along Koekohe Beach on the Otago coast of New Zealand. Local Maori legends explain the boulders as the remains of eel baskets from the large sailing canoe that brought Maori people to the island hundreds of years ago. These stones are usually hollow but sometimes they are filled with calcite and quartz, which makes it look very interesting when they are broken open or exposed.
3 Folding Rocks at Agia Pavlos
These interesting looking rocks are known commonly as the Folding Rocks. They are sedimentary limestone layers were once layered horizontally at the bottom of the sea, but tectonic plates pushed them together and forced them upwards.
2 Torghatten
Torghatten is a granite mountain on Torget island in Norway. As far as mountains go it looks pretty uncharacteristic and lumpy except for the giant gaping hole right in the middle of it. According to legend, the mountain hole was made by a troll who was chasing a beautiful girl. Knowing he could never catch the girl he shot an arrow at her, but the Troll King threw his hat to save her and that hat turned into the mountain. Sounds pretty legit to me.
1 Abandoned Russian Salt Mine
This abandoned Russian Salt Mine looks more like a scene from a trippy art house movie. The naturally occurring minerals in the abandoned mine create psychedelic patterns and structures which create unique swirls. While the naturally occurring art in these walls are beautiful, exploring the mines are not without danger. There are hazards of falling, landslides, and low visibility, but it might be worth facing to see this one of a kind place.

I’m from New Zealand and recognised split apple rock straight away, it’s down the Abel Tasman off Kaiteri where our family camp every year. You can kayak around it or even swim to it, pretty amazing thing 😊
*So is no one gonna talk about how tanjiro cuts that rock at **5:26*
Omg yesss

Australia has at least a dozen amazing rock formations itself; The Devils Marbles (NT), Wave Rock (WA), Tessellated Rocks (Tas), Ulura (NT) and The Pinnalces (WA), to name just a few.
All good stuff, but I was for an honorable mention. The time when the rock,chris rock, and kid rock all got together..truly intense
Always liked scientific trivia, but i just discovered your channel.
Super nicely produced, well explained, clear concise labels and
narration. Well done Talltanic.
Here is also a quick fact about Salar De Uyuni Salt Flats... The Salt flats are so FLAT, that Nasa uses it to calibrate their satellites. It is one of the Flattest spots on earth. :) just figured I would tell everyone.. I thought that was pretty cool :D
Bewildering Truth Seeker but salt flats is not a Rock.. piles of Salt is not a Rock..
@@1pixman did Bewildering Truth Seeker say the flats were a rock???
NO! Ya dipshit.
@@1pixman why the name rocksalt?
IT IS FLAT BECAUSE THE EARTH IS FLAT !!!
Thanks everyone! 😯... 😊
Never in my wildest of dreams, could i honestly say, someone would get 4million hits for views on rocks..
Sweet :)
Absolutely superb video on the most amazing geologic formations. Very worthwhile video. And many thanks for the written description, above.
Absolutely amazing! Thanks so much, this earth is so full of wonder.
Polution that humans made is considered as a fantastic caleidoscop .
You're referring to sunsets and oil spills, not rock formations.
I highly recommend researching Mudfossils
Prepare to have your mind blown... reality style.
That was refreshing, new and awesome. Had me saying wow several times. Thanks for this upload.

Good compilation.Thanks.
I live in New Zealand and have been to split apple rock many times it looks amazing
Quick addition to the giant's causeway thing - there is another location in Scotland which also features these distinct columns, and as far as I know it was supposedly the other end of the causeway (in the legend)
Got to visit this incredible formation in March, the Giant's Causeway is a must see. Just breathtaking.
Yea, Fingal's Cave in Staffa, though there are also quite a few less spectacular columnar lava outcrops in Scotland, from the same period of vulcanism. Some amazing examples worldwide too, usually far from the beaten track.
The Marble Arch Caves in Omagh in Northern Ireland are also worth seeing.
And the third step was Tassie
Rocks are just awsome !!! ;D
i know its wierd how they form
This guy hyped up rocks perfectly.
5:25 when chuck norris plays rock paper scissors, he chooses scissors
Nice videos. Tks for beautiful videos.
About Kjeragbolten, a boulder that is deposited by a Glacier is called an, "Erratic".
why some people are disliked this cool video?

:)
Make a video! Us nature nerds would love even a seemingly boring rock👍
WoW.. Amazing Rocks 🤗😁
The Alpine Loop which begins in Boise Idaho meanders through the forest a formation known as Bread loaf rock is seen in this loop.
It looks as if a slice of bread had been cut off from the rest of the formation truly fascinating.
What a great post ...THANK YOU!

Imagine how much more beautiful the marble cave would look like if you polished it.
They are all beautiful
Nmbr 7 - Balancing rock is the most mysterious looking one 😆
What... how can he say that the rock split in two looks like a butt and completely ignore what the first ones look like 🧐
Hahahaha
wow the fly geyser's wallpapaer is iconic
Amazing formations which are beautiful. I grateful , happy to say ,it is not possible to visit all places. Thanks for sending all.
This nature really amazing
Goblin Valley in Utah is right up there, too.
Thanks for the post, No. 13 "Arbol de Piedra" Stone Tree and No. 10 "Salar de Uyuni" The Mighty Salt Flats are located in Bolivia.
great video #1 was unreal so beautiful !
This is a good list but there are many more that could be on this list, namely, Devil's Tower.
MASHALLAH SUBHANALLAH
Very good! Thank you!

Incroyable , et magnifique !
thats stone brings me in the other Planet just awesome
nice but missing Chennai mahabalipuram Rock from India
"It also totally looks like a butt" lolol
😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing!
Uluru in Australia is another good one. Vertical layers of sedimentary rock from where the plates have shifted it, and little pools of water at the top (which you aren't allowed to visit anymore bc they banned climbing, for good reason)
Thanks mate from Australia LOL from Australia 😎😎😎
the mispronunciation of the names in New Zealand, it's bad!
You forgot the Flower Pots on Flower Pot Island in Ontario Canada.
And also the "roccia dell'orso" (rocky bear) in Sardinia...
thats not suppsoed in the video
Awesome 😍😍😍😍😘
Back in my day we didn’t have TH-cam. If we wanted entertainment then we would stare at a rock for hours
This Count Down is missing Krishna's Butterball (also known as Vaanirai Kal) is a gigantic granite boulder standing on a slippery slope in defiance of gravity in the historical town of Mahabalipuram in India.The boulder is about 6 meter high and 5 meter wide, and weighs around 250 ton. It stands on an approximate 4 feet base and 45 degree slope and is said to be at the same place since 1300 years.

Katrina Navarro more you tube
Incredible subject matter, but definitely wrong choice of narrator. He should be doing "Top 10 Truck-Stops in Arkansas" instead.
Our Earth is wonderful and beautiful 🌹🌹🌳🌅
Nature always surprises us
You’ve missed the Devils Marbles in Northern Territory Australia 🇦🇺
Rommel Pacion... they also missed Uluru in the NT.
Yes !! And there is also lots of amazing formations in western NSW
I’ll have a peek at the devils marbles now bro
Essss formações rochosas são interessantes e fantásticas. Parabéns pelo vídeo! Rio de Janeiro TJ Brasil
Very informative and lovely video.... u collect all this information from all over the world. This types of strange rock formations also available in India. I would this video more... If yu add at least one strange rock formation. From india
*Wow, that is so awesome!* 😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️

“But the troll came through his hat...”
Is that what he said? I’m confused
It is so crazy that if the ones who care about nature allowed industry to take over we would not have these glorious places today, so I thank you nature lovers
Great. You Rock!
amazing video..😊
what about Uluru? or Ayers Rock in Australia?
Exactly, I don’t think this video has been properly researched. The oldest rocks have been found in The Pilbara. Also great formation in the Simpson desert. I live in the UK so they can’t plead ignorant.
Or the Azure Window? Its literally like 30 to 40 meters tall and 10 to 20 meters wide and it STILL hasn't collapsed!
Well the big rock in Australia isn't a a great formation.
Tassie has the same hexagon rocks by the southen ocean.
Pete C I was thinking the same, also devils marbles, Purnululu and the lost city in Arnhem land.
0:20 chimneys hummmmm ughhhhmm.
Wow!!!
great video
The first rock formations is a bit like something else isn't it?
Dicks. The second one looks like butt cheeks, 6:12 looks like a giant sperm cell, and the accidental fountains look like the testicle aliens from Rick and Morty. Yup.

😂 I knew someone would not let down , somebody had to let me know they saw it too.

There is one more place in Mahabalipuram... Rock never fell down from top of slanting land

Number 9 looks like my favorite 80s game qbert!!😊😊
You forgot Australia completely!!! What about the famous Ularu, Devils marbles, or wave rock?! We have so many....
7:00
"the troll came through his" at??? hat???? what??
"and then the hat turned into the mountain
can someone translate
Troll King threw a hat that capped the rock after another troll shot an arrow at a fair maiden...hence the rock formation. Don't know if that's the full and correct story but that's what I heard the dude say.
how the fuck could you forget about Ayers rock..
Vamos salva a natureza,One Love!!!
very good picture ♡
I think the "stonehenge" would of been a nice fit on the list
Stonehenge isn't natural, it has no place on the list.
Of
We are on
Dumbass, Stonehenge is man made.
In San Rafael, Mendoza Argentina there's a rock formation called *the monks* ..they look like a lot of monks praying
The folding rock So Neat
Wow Amazing
I've been to moeraki boulders because I live in new zealand
i also live in New Zealand I want to the moeraki boulders when I was a baby and i was in a boat and it goes past spilt Apple rock
Answer: Chuck Norris did it.
Anyone else notice how long the seconds are in the ad just prior to this video?
AMAZING
