Fjaðrárgljúfur, Iceland 🇮🇸
Strange rock formations tower above the river that snakes through this enchanting Icelandic canyon.
At just over a mile long, it certainly doesn’t boast the enormous expanses of the world’s other mighty canyons. But what it may lack in size, it absolutely makes up for in beauty.
The canyon is made up of an assortment of crazy rock formations. They stretch skyward, flanking a river like g…

Lençóis Maranhenses Dunes, Santo Amaro do Maranhão, Brazil 🇧🇷
A faux desert landscape in the middle of the jungle that sprouts oases during the rainy season.
Between the months of July and September, the depressions between the dunes fill with rainwater creating pools ranging from small ponds to deep lakes. Like any real desert, the 1,500 square kilometer area supports little plant life despite the rain, but the tr…
