A huge sandstorm hit Western Australia in 2013
The natural phenomenon that makes it appear that lava is flowing over a cliff at Yosemite National Park is back, but only for a few days.
"Firefall" is the name for the natural magic trick that creates the illusion at the park in California. It comes to life when the setting sun causes light to hit the waterfall at just the right angle.

@SweetNSpicy - that Sandstorm I remember seeing all over is quite scary
@Keira - that one is awesome. it does feel like molten lava just flowing way too easily, I mean lava we usually see is denser.
Andean Bird for you all

Yes I saw it on the news too. The power of nature is a force to be reckoned with
Also I have visited Yosemite and it is amazingly beautiful in a raw pure way
Steam Eruptions, Hverir, Iceland
Most of the children go crazy over playing in the mud! But what about when these muds start boiling and produces never-ending steam rays; isn’t this strange and eerie too! And if you still want to witness this crazy natural occurring, head to the Hverir, Iceland and witness it to believe it!

Storm Brendan hit the UK with 90 mile an hour winds
This is at Porthcawl yesterday

Namibia Desert and sand dunes and sea one of the most beautiful places i have ever visit is just amazing (is google photos)
Columnar Basalt
On the very first look, these facades might deceive you to believe they are artificial. But don’t hold this delusion for long as they are purely one of the crazy creations of the nature!
Forest of knives
Secluded from the rest of the world, Madagascar is truly a treasure trove! On a visit to this land of wonders, you will witness one of the crazy phenomenon; forest of knives. Yes, you heard right! Spreading around 666sqkm, this forest has rocky outgrowths in the form of knives and is a major attraction of Madagascar.

Lucky you, really, so many places, I at times wonder the Nineteenth century there was no Visa or Passport. (For sure travel was not safe as present days), but so much to sea in the world, forget how much more is there under the waves and above in the sky.
Oh Wow, that wave is madness. I saw this yesterday, it is amazing, how water and wind, make a water chute move up a mountain - almost a reverse waterfall.
@CrystalMarker
So Mud Volcano are crazy, some are boiling, some are sort of warmish. If one is not allergic to Sulphur then some places give the option to dip and get a mud soak
There is similar Basalt columns in Ireland, they are called Giant’s Causeway
Forest of Knives similar shapes are also in China but not of that scale. But China also has the “Flute Cave” , the cave is mighty colorful, it has a particular reed that locals used to gather to make flutes
@SweetLesGirl
Oasis, rather Desert and Humidity together make one of the most beautiful paradoxes living in harmony. Similar is Snow in a desert.

Oh My! So many beautiful colours!
Damn my dirty mind! I definitely took "Flute Cave" and turned it naughty!!
Mammatus Cloud
Their occurrence is very rare and if you happen to witness them, you will surely find it tough to believe they really exist. Due to this unnatural phenomenon, clouds are formed in an unusual way with hanging pouches.

Striped Icebergs, Antarctica
Nature has its own ways of mixing colour and fascination! And to observe the best compilation of this unnatural phenomenon, you must visit the Antarctica, where you can witness icebergs with green, blue, black, brown and yellow stripes.

Turquoise Ice
A lake that holds around 20% of the earths freshwater, Lake Bilakal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Water in this lake is so very clear that when they freeze down, they appear turquoise in colour due to reflection.
❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
Blue Glacial Ice
‘As white as the snow’ goes the saying. But once you are in Iceland, you might not find this saying true anymore! Yes, it is in this province, you will witness blue ice formations as ice cannot absorb the blue colour of the light.

Mammatus Clouds in Germany - They simply are something else. Though looked like a lot of people sitting Butt-naked
That's why Antarctica people like Aquamarine. Awesome images.

This is a strange phenomenon and aptly called Fairy Circle. Many theories try to explain but none can solve it as such.
These are grass circles, found in the Southern part of Africa. The circles range from 2meters to 12 meters in diameter. And at times seem to even move in a direction - as in new circles form in one direction and ones on the other side die off.
