In less than 200 square meters of mountain cracks, red sandstone is like waves, and the wonderful combination of rigidity and softness is amazing, so it is called stone waves.

It is a part of Lighthouse Reef, located about100km in Belize City, with a diameter of 0.4km and a hole depth of145m. Because the deep hole is deep and presents a dark blue scene, this structure is called "blue hole" internationally.

4. Crystal Cave

Amethyst cave was formed in the geological generation era hundreds of millions of years ago. When the Crystal Cave was first formed, it was just a hollow agate cave with air in it. As time goes on, cracks appear at the edge, and groundwater containing silicon dioxide flows into the cavity. It is crystallized by adhering to the cliff at a certain pressure and temperature. Amethyst Cave is the creation of the universe, the crystallization of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and the moon. "Brazil is a famous amethyst cave. Amethyst Cave is regarded as the top grade because of its bright color, clean and flawless, deep purple and large particles, as described in Natural History: "The color is like grapes, bright and lovely".

5. Eye of the Sahara

Mauritania in the southwest of the Sahara Desert has a spectacular circular landform with a diameter of 30 miles. This is the famous "Sahara Eye".

At first, people thought it was formed by a meteorite falling to the ground, but later geologists thought it was the product of ground uplift and erosion. As for the origin of the circle, it is still a mystery.

Giant's Road is a famous tourist attraction in Northern Ireland, which was listed as a world natural heritage by UNESCO on 1986. Legend has it that in ancient times, Irish giants wanted to duel with Scottish giants, so they dug stone pillars, filled the seabed and paved the causeway to Scotland.
