1. 13 Amazing Natural and Unique Phenomenon !!!
Sometimes, Nature shows what its real beauty is ?? And when she show it, there's nothing more beautiful
than that beauty. Here is the List of some Amazing natural phenomena that will make u believe that : its
nature the more beautiful of all !!! From Red Tides to Fire Whirls, there exists some of the strangest, most
interesting natural phenomena on earth. But mind this, some of them are dangerous for humans too. So
lets have a look on them and enjoy the natural beauty of mother nature !!!
Electric Blue Seas
This looks like a hot vacation spot in Tron World. It looks like a jellyfish rave. It looks like somebody ate
the future and threw it up on a beach. This is actually a bioluminescent bloom, and it's the result of a mass
of naturally glowing plankton washing up all at once on a single tide. There is zero trickery going on here.
If you were standing there in person, this is exactly what it would look like. The motion of the ocean
agitates the bioluminescent plankton as it brings them to shore, causing the waves to flare to sudden,
brilliant life.
Snow Chimneys
Ah, the ancient slumbering giant whose frozen body forms Antarctica finally awakens, just as the
prophecy foretold, and it seems he's uh ... he's got some steamy morning wood.
That's actually an ice fumarole. A normal fumarole is a vent that protrudes from the ground, allowing
steam from volcanoes to escape out into the open. Of course, arctic volcanoes have fumaroles, too, but
it's so cold that steam particles freeze upon contact with the outside air, building up and up until you

2. eventually get massive, 60-foot-high "ice chimneys" inexplicably shooting hot air out into the arctic
wasteland. It makes sense now that you know the explanation, but if you were an arctic explorer
stumbling upon one of those things for the first time, you just know you'd assume "giant Eskimos cooking
breakfast."
Moonbows
A moonbow is a rainbow produced by light reflected off the surface of the moon (rather than from direct
sunlight refracting off of moisture in the air. Moonbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of
light reflected from the surface of the moon. They are always in the opposite part of the sky from the
moon.
Because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color receptors in human eyes, it is difficult for the
human eye to discern colors in a moonbow. As a result, they often appear to be white. However, the
colors in a moonbow do appear in long exposure photographs.
Firebows
High altitude cirrus clouds sometimes contain a large number of hexagonal ice crystals, and if these are
struc by sunlight at just the right angle, with the sun elevated at least 58 degrees, the sky suddenly looks
like somebody waved a giant magnet in front of an old-school computer monitor.
Now think about describing that moment to anybody who wasn't right there with you: You're either getting
tossed in the loony bin or hit up for some of those excellent drugs you're apparently on.

3. Aurora Borealis
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful events to occur in our world, the Aurora Borealis, also known as
the Northern Lights, has both astounded and amazed people since it was first discovered. This
phenomenon ocurrs when the sun gives off high-energy charged particles (also called ions) that travel out
into space at speeds of 300 to 1200 kilometres per second. A cloud of such particles is called a plasma.
The stream of plasma coming from the sun is known as the solar wind. As the solar wind interacts with the
edge of the earth’s magnetic field, some of the particles are trapped by it and they follow the lines of
magnetic force down into the ionosphere, the section of the earth’s atmosphere that extends from about
60 to 600 kilometers above the earth’s surface. When the particles collide with the gases in the
ionosphere they start to glow, producing the spectacle that we know as the auroras, northern and
southern.
Mammatus Clouds
Also known as mammatocumulus, meaning "bumpy clouds", they are a cellular pattern of pouches
hanging underneath the base of a cloud. Composed primarily of ice, Mammatus Clouds can extend for
hundreds of miles in each direction, while individual formations can remain visibly static for ten to fifteen
minutes at a time. True to their ominous appearance, mammatus clouds are often harbingers of a coming
storm or other extreme weather system.

4. Red Tides
More correctly known as an algal bloom, the so-called Red tide is a natural event in which estuarine,
marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column and can convert entire areas of an
ocean or beach into a blood red color. This phenomena is caused by high levels of phytoplankton
accumulating to form dense, visible clouds near the surface of the water. While some of these can be
relatively harmless, others can be harbingers of deadly toxins that cause the deaths of fish, birds and
marine mammals. In some cases, even humans have been harmed by red tides though no human
exposure are known to have been fatal. While they can be fatal, the constituent phytoplankton in ride tides
are not harmful in small numbers.
Penitentes
These amazing ice spikes, generally known as penitentes due to their resemblance to processions of
white-hooded monks, can be found on mountain glaciers and vary in size dramatically: from a few
centimetres to 5 metres in height. Initially, the sun’s rays cause random dimples on the surface of the
snow. Once such a dimple is formed, sunlight can be reflected within the dimple, increasing the localized
sublimation. As this accelerates, deep troughs are formed, leaving peaks of ice standing between them.

5. Sailing Stones
The mysterious moving stones of the packed-mud desert of Death Valley have been a center of scientific
controversy for decades. Rocks weighing up to hundreds of pounds have been known to move up to
hundreds of yards at a time. Some scientists have proposed that a combination of strong winds and
surface ice account for these movements. However, this theory does not explain evidence of different
rocks starting side by side and moving at different rates and in disparate directions. Moreover, the physics
calculations do not fully support this theory as wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour would be
needed to move some of the stones.
Supercells
Supercell is the name given to a continuously rotating updraft deep within a severe thunderstorm (a
mesocyclone) and looks downright scary. They are usually isolated storms, which can last for hours, and
sometimes can split in two, with one storm going to the left of the wind and one to the right. They can
spout huge amounts of hail, rain and wind and are often responsible for tornados, though they can also
occur without tornados. Supercells are often carriers of giant hailstones and although they can occur
anywhere in the world they’re most frequent in the Great Plains of the US.

6. Fire Whirls
A fire whirl, also known as fire devil or fire tornado, is a rare phenomenon in which a fire, under certain
conditions --depending on air temperature and currents--, acquires a vertical vorticity and forms a whirl, or
a tornado-like effect of a vertically oriented rotating column of air. Fire whirls often occur during bush fires.
Vertical rotating columns of fire form when the air currents and temperature are just right, creating a
tornado-like effect. They can be as high as 30 to 200 ft tall and up to 10 ft wide but only last a few
minutes, although some can last for longer if the winds are strong.
Ice Circles
A rare phenomenon usually only seen in extremely cold countries, scientists generally accept that Ice
Circles are formed when surface ice gathers in the center of a body of water rather than the edges. A slow
moving river current can create a slow turning eddy, which rotates, forming an ice disc. Very slowly the
edges are ground down until a gap is formed between the eddy and the surrounding ice. These ice circles
have been seen with diameters of over 500 feet and can also at times be found in clusters and groups at
different sizes.

7. 2009 Norwegian spiral anomaly
A special mention to it here, On December 9, 2009, a strange phenomenon was witnessed over Russia,
and photographed in northern Norway and Sweden. The event began when a blue light soared up from
behind a mountain in the north end of Russia. The light stopped in mid-air, and then began to move in
circles. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Once expanded, a green-blue beam of
light shot out from the center of the object, lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing
completely
