Hokkaido’s Blue Pond
The fabled Blue Pond’s waters are a veritable rainbow of hues. Located close to Shirogane Onsen, a well-known hot spring resort town in Japan, this is a destination for those seeking the unusual. The pond is man-made, but the water is a stunning shade of blue that can only be found in the wild. On the other hand, they appear supernatural, and this lake is definitely one of those places. A threat from Mount Tokachi, which erupted nearby in the 1980s, resulted in the creation of this pond. A dam was constructed to help strengthen Biel’s defenses against lava flows and mudslides. As a result, a number of ponds, including the Blue Pond, began to form.

Catatumbo Lightning
“Lightning never strikes the same place twice,” as the saying goes. Lightning can strike up to 280 times an hour and can last for 10 hours a day at Venezuela’s Lake Maracaibo. This atmospheric phenomenon, also known as Catatumbo Lightning, seems to go on and on and on. In part, this is because of the region’s unusual topography and wind patterns, but no one knows for sure why it happens. Even the country’s brightest scientific minds are baffled by this strange occurrence. A storm is brewing when dark clouds gather over the Catatumbo River’s mouth.
