Easter Island is a small roughly triangular island located between Tahiti and Chile in the South Pacific. Created by a string of massive volcano eruptions, it features steep slopes, volcanic cones at each point of the island, 70 eruptive centers, Anakena – a sheltered white sand beach, and hundreds of sea caves.

One of the most isolated places in the world, the inhabitants consisted of dragonflies and seabirds for millions of years until Polynesian seafarers happened upon the island 1,200 years ago. They carved giant human figures from volcanic rock, known as moai, which represent some of the most outstanding ancient relics ever to have been discovered. Easter Island Map

5. Blue Eye

Blue Eye, known to locals as Syri I Kalter, is the largest of 18 springs that emerge from the Earth roughly 15 miles from Saranda in southern Albania. Its unique name comes directly from its magnificent and ethereal beauty, which creates the illusion of a blue eye. Its deep blue center flows water outward, creating a light blue color before meeting a ring of green vegetation that gives the impression of eyelashes.

The waters are responsible for feeding the Bistrica River. It remains a constant 50°F, so any swimming for more than a quick dip will require a wetsuit to avoid inevitable hypothermia. The depth of the Blue Eye has yet to be determined. Blue Eye Map

The reserve features remnants of an ancient civilization, with carved stone spheres dating back to pre-Columbian eras. The bay itself and its rugged surroundings also offer a wealth of outdoor recreational activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and sport fishing. The Corcovado National Park is nearby as well, ideal for horseback riding, hiking, and bird watching. Drake's Bay Map

The Avenue of the Baobabs, a dirt road that connects Belo Tsiribihina and Morondava in Madagascar, is bordered by dozens of ancient and rare baobab trees. This incredible setting is so gorgeous and unique that it promises to become the country’s first recognized natural monument. It is one of the most photographed places on the island due to these giant dry season transitory trees, some of which are over 800 years old and feature trunks that are more than 150 feet in circumference.

They were once part of a thriving forest, but are now all that remains, and their existence is thanks to the preservation efforts of several organizations. Avenue of the Baobabs

Fjdrargljufur Canyon is an enormous canyon roughly 330 feet deep and a little over one mile long, located in southern Iceland. The canyon features steep walls and is slightly sinuous and narrow. Its base is mostly palagonite from the end of the last Ice Age, and it’s considered to be approximately two million years old. The river Fjaora flows through this impressive canyon, and the water is often low, so hikers are able to safely and easily wade across. Majestic waterfalls can be seen deeper into the canyon and visitors can return the top of the canyon via a pathway along the canyon’s edge.

Affectionately referred to as the Amazon of the north, the Great Bear Rainforest spans over 250 miles of British Columbia’s coastline. This 21-million-acre vast and sodden wilderness features 1,000-year-old cedars, granite-dark waters, waterfalls spurting off the edges of moss-covered mountains, and glacier-cut fjords.

Home to several First Nations communities and an abundance of wildlife including grizzly bears, coastal gray wolves, mountain goats, and cougars, this area is alive with activity and unique experiences. The most exciting resident of the area is the rare, elusive, cream-colored Kermode bear, also known as spirit bear. It is revered by the T’simshian people. To spot this bear, visitors will need a local guide with expert tracking abilities and patience. Great Bear Rainforest Map
