D4v1d W3bb The Seven Wonders of the Natural World may have been named too quickly. Wonders like The Grand Canyon and Victoria Falls are certainly big, and anyone who sees them will surely be impressed—but sheer size isn’t enough to truly leave a person in awe. There are other places in this world, though, that are far stranger. Places that seem almost alien, as if they could only exist on a planet that evolved separately from our own. These are places that scientists have had to struggle just to understand how they ever could have been formed. Places that will truly make you wonder—not just because they’re beautiful, but because they seem to follow scientific laws that don’t exist anywhere else on earth. Here are 10 Scientifically Impossible Places That Actually Exist

Interesting David. Thanks for posting.
I found those Hessdalen lights especially fascinating.

And I've seen those lightning storms in Sth America previously... Some poor local guy had been struck by lightning 37 times and was too fearful to step outdoors! (I use past tense as not sure he still alive... If he is he should buy a lottery ticket)...

Ian Miller | 1422 comments Nothing that exists is scientifically impossible. If it is there, it is the science that is wrong, or has been used incorrectly. Also, that you can't explain it may simply mean that you do not have the full facts.

Quite right Ian. One or two of the so-called scientifically impossible wonders in the above post aren't so strange... Like the boiling hot stream in the Amazon jungle for example.

Here in God's Own (NZ) we have streams (e.g. Kerosene Creek) and lake edges (e.g. Lakes Taupo and Tarawera) where hot water rises from underground vents heating the water so it's hot enough to bathe - or too hot to bathe in some places. I understand Iceland and other countries have similar phenomena.

I recall once bathing beneath a deliciously hot waterfall in Kerosene Creek (central North Island, NZ) at midnight with my wife (then wife-to-be) many moons ago... But that's a whole other story...

"Flash" being the operative word Iain.
