More than 65 million years ago, a river flowed in this place across the plain. After the crust began to move and the plateau began to rise, which led to an increase in the flow rate of the river. She began to wash layers of shale, sandstone, limestone. This process continued for many years, resulting in the Grand Canyon length of 446 kilometers. The maximum depth of this creation of nature - 1800 meters. The process of deepening continues to this day.

Machu Picchu
At an altitude of almost 2.5 kilometers, on top of the mountain range is the city, which is also called the "city in the heavens." The Incas built Machu Picchu in 1440. Supposedly 1,200 people lived in the city, and there were about 200 buildings. In 1532 all the inhabitants of the city disappeared without a trace. This disappearance is not connected with the Spanish conquistadors, but where all the inhabitants are gone for scientists remains a mystery.
The buildings of the city are distinguished by high-precision masonry, and in the city itself a very well thought-out layout. Also, scientists have so far failed to unravel the technology of construction, which was used by the Incas.
Waitomo Caves

Ice caves of Mendenhall
Alaska has a lot of glaciers, which consist of crystal clear water. Glaciers melt over time, resulting in a water layer between the surface and the glacier. Water finds a hole and flows out of such a reservoir, forming caves. Above one of these caves called Mendenhall there is a glacier about 130 meters thick. But the ice is so clear and clear that the sun's rays fall into the cave. It is simply fascinating beautiful places.
But this beauty is very dangerous - as the probability of a collapse is very high. There are such caves for several years, but during one season they can simply disappear.
