When you plan for travel, what do you think of? You make a list of some of the most beautiful and attractive places on the globe. But, do you ever think of visiting some of the weirdest places on the planet? Well here is a list of such places and the reasons as to why they are termed as weird.

The Travertine Pools of Pamukklae- This is one of the weirdest places to visit due to its unusual natural attributes. Due to volcanic eruptions hot springs emerged to the surface bringing out huge deposits of calcium carbonate. This formed the Travertine in the somewhat the same way as stalactites are formed.

The Travertine Pools of Pamukklae is one of the weirdest places to visit due to its unusual natural attributes.

McMurdo Dry Valleys

Though it is one of the coldest deserts in he world, it lacks snow. It seems as if the valleys are bleeding.

Spotted Lake

The lake contains a rich concentration of 8-10 minerals. During summer most of the water evaporates leaving behind the mineral deposits that appear as spores.

Racetrack Playa

What makes Racetrack Playa strange, is the fact that stones move automatically across this place without any human or animal intervention, just leaving a track behind.

The Richat Structure

In the wide and monotonous expanse of the Sahara desert this place forms a rather conspicuous eye like colourful structure. This feature makes this place appear as if it where alien invaded.

Socotra Island

This place can be counted to be one of the weirdest spots on earth. Most of the flora and fauna here are not to be found in the rest of the world.

McMurdo Dry Valleys- They are located in Antarctica. But, though it is one of the coldest deserts in he world, it lacks snow. Hot water from the natural geysers comes out in these valleys. This water is so rich in iron that the colour is a bit reddish. This paints a completely different image of the place. It seems as if the valleys are bleeding. All these factors makes this place one of the weirdest in the world.

Spotted Lake- It is a saline alkali lake located in Osoyoos, in British Columbia. The lake contains a rich concentration of 8-10 minerals. During summer most of the water evaporates leaving behind the mineral deposits that appear as spores, making this one of the weirdest places to visit. The colour of the holes or spores in the lake depends on the concentration of minerals.

Racetrack Playa- This unusual place in California is a dry lake. It has a great scenic beauty. What makes this place strange is the fact that stones move automatically across this place without any human or animal intervention, just leaving a track behind. And most probably this is done by strong winds that blow in the area.

The Richat Structure, Sahara Desert- This is one of the strangest places on the planet. It is also known as the Eye of the Sahara. In the wide and monotonous expanse of the desert this place forms a rather conspicuous eye like colourful structure. This feature makes this place appear as if it where alien invaded.

Socotra Islands, Indian Ocean- This again can be counted to be one of the weirdest places on earth. Most of the flora and fauna here are not to be found in the rest of the world. All of them have weird structures and forms. The plants, birds and animals found here do not have a habitat elsewhere.

These are all some of the strangest and weirdest places on the planet that you can plan a travel to. If you know any other place as such, do share with us.
