 Well-known athlete Marla Runyan was only 9 year old when she became blind. It was unfortunate for her but she never stopped believing in herself, and that confidence forced her to join San Diego University. While studding in the college she started her journey to become famous athlete by joining several sports events.

She won many medals in college sport events, which elevated her confidence a lot.

 Mark Anthony Riccobono uses two mazor technologies while driving; one is DriveGrip and second is Speedstrip. In DriveGrip Technology, driver wear two special gloves that send vibrations over the knuckles so as the driver would guess how much to turn. Besides, Speedstrip is a technology, in which a cushion is used to indicate how much to accelerate.

Rio Tinto River is considered mysterious due to the color of its water. It originates from Sierra Morena Mountains and reaches Gulf of Cadiz at Huelva. Apart from this, the river is also has acidic character in it.

Reddish property of its water is because of high concentration of Iron Dissolved in it. It flows up to 100 km and provides a large area for mining important minerals. People in Spain have been mining the site along the river for minerals like copper, silver, gold and iron since ancient times. 

It was found that acidic property of water in the river is due to the presence of bacteria named extremophile aerobic. These bacteria feed itself by iron and sulfide minerals present on its subsurface rocks.  

You might have seen many caves on earth and many of them might have amazed you by their way of formation. Things, however, become mysterious if we learn about a vertical cave which is located under a sea.

I am talking about world’s deepest sinkhole ‘The Great Blue Hole’. This blue hole is located in Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, about 60 miles from Belize City. The depth and diameter of it is 125m and 300, respectively. According to various studies, this blue hole was formed about 65,000 years ago due to the rise in sea water level.

The Great Blue Hole is home for many species, which attract tourists to come over just to enjoy its beauty. The site became popular when the famous Jacques-Yves Cousteau declared that this site is world’s one of the top ten places for scuba diving. 

Situated in triple border point of Guyana, Brazil, and Venezuela, Mount Rorem is one of the most mysterious natural places in the world. This is because of the clouds that flow near its surface and make it heaven-like structure. Millions of tourists come to visit the divine look of the hill every year. The exact height of this hill is 2,500m and it is spread over 341 miles; moreover, its 3/4^th part is situated under the territory of Venezuela.

Its appearance with clouds and waterfalls exerts a pull on intellectuals to explore it more just to identify the causes of its formation

Some important rivers of American continent are also originate from this mountain such as Amazon, Orinoco and most of the rivers flowing though Guyana.

Due to the horrible stories inherited to the people living around it from their ancestors, the mountain range also known as ‘The Gates of Hell’. It is believed that an individual who goes inside the valley, mysteriously never comes back.

But beware; people who luckily returned from the valley have reported that there were found only the remains of furs, bones and skeletons of animals and hunters. Moreover, there were also found few scattered lonely tombs, which indicate that something wrong has been going on over there.

                  Besides, the beauty of the place is amazing; if you don’t like adventure you may come over as a tourist just to enjoy the beauty around. Apart from the above mysterious places, there are many others, too, and some of them are given below-

Our earth is full of magical and beautiful places that amaze you through their attractive looks. Some of them are formed by the God itself and some are constructed by human. Visiting any beautiful natural site becomes unforgettable in our life, though beaches are considered most amazing places to spend holidays.

There are many incredible beaches around the world such as Hot Water Bridge in New Zeeland and Glass Beach in California; however, few of them are such mysterious that even scientists feel trouble explaining why those are thus formed.

Here I am explaining worlds five most weird and mysterious beaches present worldwide.

Situated in New South Wales, Hymas Beach is famous for its exceptionally clean water, unique underwater life and smooth air. This amazing beach is sandwiched with two other beaches, Chainman’s beach and Seaman’s beach.

The Guinness Book of world Records has conferred this beach as the whitest in the world. There are number of beautiful places around it that you even won’t decide where to go first. The beach authority offers several facilities for its tourists such as surfing, diving, bike riding, and much more. There is an awesome market near the beach, which satisfies each and every need of a traveler. If tourists want to go for extensive shopping, they may also go to ‘Huskisson’, the nearest town from the beach.

Moreover, Hymas beach is surrounded by two famous national parks named Jervis Bay national Park and Booderee National Park.

Papakolea Green sand beach is the most beautiful beach in Hawaii and one of the two only green sand beaches in the world. The color of the sand in this beach is green because of the presence of olivine crystals.

The beach is surrounded by a cinder cone which was formed 49,000 years ago. This cinder cone is rich in olive crystals and the green sand was created by partial eroding of ocean over times. Actually, Hawaii is full of active volcanoes and the lava is rich in olivine crystals, and the cinder cone surrounding the beach was formed by this lava.

You may reach to this beach only on foot or a vehicle having four-wheel drive. You will also need to climb down the cinder cone to enjoy the beauty of this beach. The beach is situated 4.8km away from South Point called Ka Lae.  

What would you think of walking over cold sand on a beach even the sun is shining at its fullest? Of course, it’s possible and the city that made it possible is Dubai. Engineers in Dubai have been constructing a refrigerant beach adjacent to a luxury hotel so as the rich don’t need to burn their feet on hot sand while walking. The hotel adjacent to the beach is ‘Palazzo Versace’.

It will be formed by constructing heat-absorbing pipelines beneath the sand. Moreover, a giant air blower will also be positioned to supply cool air. The functioning of heat absorbing pipes will be controlled by thermostats connected to computer systems. The hotel is also providing a cooled swimming pool to attract their visitors. The negative part of the whole project is that the functioning of the beach will severely impact environment.

Located in Llanes , Spain, Gulpiyuri Beach is an inland beach and the second most incredible beach in the list. It is located in the middle of a meadow, approximately 100m away from the Cantabrian Sea. The beach is only 40m long and remains fully tidal as salt water circulates from Cantabrian Sea to the beach through underground tunnels. Moreover, water from Bay of Biscay also comes to the beach through underground tunnels and adds charming waves to the water of the beach.

It’s hard to reach to this beach because it is not visible from the shoreline of the Cantabrian Sea due to its small size. Therefore, you need to update your GPS before the journey to this beach. You may ask help from locals to find it, too; you should, however, dependent only on yourself. I also want to advice you that don’t go over there on weekends due to the expected large crowd in this period.

California is famous for its beautiful beaches and related sports; however there is a beach that makes California more amazing destination for tourist.

The Bowling Ball beach is situated in Schooner Gulf near a small town Mendocino in California. As you can see in the image, there are uncountable number of ball-shaped rocks gathered together, which forms an incredible appearance in the beach.  The rocks appear like a battalion of army, which is ready to attack the rival. However, the mysterious part is that all the rocks are of almost uniform shape and size. Moreover, the space among the rocks is also almost uniform, though it is a work of nature not human.

These are the most incredible beaches in the world, which amazes us through their exceptionally beautiful appearance.  You should visit at least one of these place just to feel how complicated the nature is.

Apart from the above, there are also other beaches around the world having distinct appearance. Some of them are described below.

You might have visited high profile five-star hotels; they are undoubtedly good, but they actually offer facilities of almost same standard. Businessmen build hotels just to make profits from it, and to do so they only concentrate on how to provide best comfort to their customers. However, there are some people or companies who think beyond the traditional phenomenon and build hotels that are unique, incredible and surprising.

Here, I am going to explain world’s most amazing and unique hotels in this list. 

Hotel made up of shipping containers

As China exports millions of shipping containers each year for being reused and recycled by others, a shipping company in there initiated an innovative way to reuse them.  The company constructed an incredible hotel using shipping containers.

The name of this amazing hotel is Xiang Pray House and it is located near the city of Changzhi. You will be amazed seeing that how the guidelines for a five-star hotel are implemented in this hotel. If you look the building from outside, it will look like a dull village made up of shipping containers; however if you go inside, you will find almost every facility for you comfort in it.   

The luxurious infrastructure of the hotel includes 21 cozy rooms decorated with traditional Chinese furniture, lights and more. The sizes of the rooms are 50 or 100 sq ft, and the ceiling is 8.5 ft off the ground; however, comfort is not comprised due to the small sized rooms. 

Hotel made by Access Cards

Holiday Inn, a well known hotel series in USA, has built a two ton heavy hotel with the help of a record holder card-stacker Brayen berg. Mr. Berg used 200,000 access cards collected from number of hotels to build this 400 sq ft hotel. He claims that this hotel is the most challenging thing he has ever made.

It took almost four months to construct this hotel and just from the opening day the hotel became centre of attraction for the people in Manhattan. It consists of one guestroom, one bathroom, and one lobby.  It would be unforgettable moment for you visiting this hotel as even towel, toilet and carpet are made by access cards.

The hotel is just a promotional showpiece of Holiday Inn Hotel chain; therefore don’t even think of staying over there. I have added this hotel in the list only to show you how creative a person could be. 

Hotel made of concrete pipes

As you can see in the above picture, this hotel is built using recycled concrete tubes. The man behind this innovative idea was Andreas Strauss who earlier constructed a hotel named ‘Das Park Hotel’ using the same principle. The challenge of implementing such a great idea was taken up by a company ‘T3arc’, which constructed the hotel cheaply, quickly and without sacrificing the natural beauty around the area.

The name of the hotel is Tubohotel, located less than an hour away from Mexico City. T3arc completed the work tremendously by adding large number of features to provide sufficient comfort in rooms of the hotel.

Three concrete tubes are placed over a wooden site in a pyramidal shape to build one structure of the hotel. Moreover, curtains are fitted in each room to providing some privacy, and a set of stairs is attached so as to access the top room of the pyramid.
