Around the corner from the tourist trap, but not quite local either. let's just call it what it is: the world is weird and that's awesome.
Wow- pink beach this time! Green last week, pink this week. 🙂
The sand is pink b/c of tiny red corals called foraminifera. There’s also a ton of great corals to explore here too including Devil’s backbone (juts outs of the water and shipwrecked many ships). This lovely beach is in the Bahamas!
all right dudes- this beach in hawaii is green. for real, green. It gets this tint b/c of the volcanic stones, Olivine being broken down. It’s actually a semi-precious stone…. SO it’s like walking on jewels… literally. see you there.

Wow, bad @$$. this is a hotel… literally hanging off the side of a cliff. so you get there by rock climbing or zip lining… of course. it’s on the side of a cliff in Peru. You even get a private chef and booze. yeah… i might skip on the booze to make sure i don’t wobble too far off the hotel.
Wow, so this project was commissioned to bring some life back to the city of Zada, Croatia after it was mostly destroyed in WWII. It’s a 230 ft long organ that “plays” when the ocean water goes into the pipes and pushes the air out.

Kind of haunting…

Wow so cool, an under water river in Mexico called Cenote Angelita, Mexico. It’s so cool that there is a mixture of hydrogen sulfate and saltwater that goes to the bottom and makes it look like a river… but underwater.

well dayam! Maybe it’s like being in a frozen ocean? or a lava lamp? This tunnel is in West Antarctica. It doesn’t look it in the picture, but it’s actually as tall as the Eiffel Tower!
It’s not just beautiful, the tunnel will also be helping scientists predict how it will melt in response to global warming.

This place is in Toyama Bay, Japan. These squid light up when they feel like they’re in danger to scare away predators. Too bad it is the opposite for us… we flock like birds to go see them b/c this is so freaking cool! There are lots of boat tours that take you out in the middle of the night to see them.
If you don’t want to do middle of the night, I highly reco the firefly squid museum! It’s a Japan museum at its best- tiny little personified squid characters, highly interactive ( you can touch the squid and other sea creatures). The best part is that there’s a restaurant on top ….. where you can EAT the firefly squid! They serve them up in a variety of ways- raw, poached, boiled, fried, on pizza, in noodles…etc.

Wow cool. A volcano that oozes BLUE lava!! This volcano is in Indonesia called Kawah Ijen
The lava actually isn’t any different from any volcano. It’s b/c the volcano is burning pockets of Sulfur and that makes it burn blue!

Wow, so this ice cave is the the Crystal cave in Skaftafell, Iceland. It’s made this way b/c of the glacier meets the cave. You can hear the cracking and groans as the glacier continues to move! Creepy… and yet, look at how beautiful the two meet! Blue Ice. haha it sounds like the name of a model look on Zoolander.

Cool! A Jade iceberg in Antarctica! Technically, all icebergs have a jade underside we just can’t see it because it’s still attached to the ice shelf. When they break off, it flips over and this jade color or “marine ice” is revealed. It’s made out of all the organic material that dissolves underwater! (ha, don’t think about that when you’re out swimming next time)
