It also includes a place called Garden of Eden, a circular depression of tall limestone walls that measure about 0.62 miles or 1 kilometer wide and 980 feet or 3000 tall at the highest.
6. Antelope Canyon
You take one look at Antelope Canyon and you can hardly find rocks more interesting to look at than the formations found here. This slot canyon, located in Arizona, sits on Navajo land, formed by the erosion of sandstone. It includes several attractions, such as the Upper Antelope Canyon called The Crack and Antelope Canyon which people also refer to as The Corkscrew. Floods occur somewhat frequently in the canyons, sometimes making it inaccessible for humans. Although it is more of a canyon, the narrow opening at the top makes it feel more like an enclosed area.
5. Phraya Nakhon Cave )
This enormous limestone cavern looks like an image out of well-illustrated animated movie. But it’s all totally real. Welcome to picturesque pavillion of The Phraya Nakhon Cave, considered one of the best attractions at the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. it takes about 430 meters to reach the cave from the mountain. People also like going to visit the nearby well made of baked clay bricks. The cave has a hole in its ceiling, letting in sunlight from above to make for one cool picture.
4. The Mendenhall Cave
Inside the famous Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska exists an ice cave that glows blue and lets the sunlight in. The glacier runs about 13.6 miles or 21.9 kilometers long within the Mendenhall Valley, not far from the town of Juneau. To get to the ice caves, you need to be willing to kayak there. After that, you still need to climb over the ice. But the views may just be worth it. However, the glacier has been in retreat since the 18th century, with many saying climate change will only increase the process.
3. Eisriesenwelt Cave

2. The Marble Caves
Down in South America, we come across the Marble Caves of Chile, also called the Cuevas de Mármol. These surreal caves formed over 6,000 years ago due to the waves crashing into the calcium carbonate. Ferries travel from Chile Chico to the marble caves so people can marvel at the aquatic tunnels. And depending on the time of the year, you may not see the same turquoise blue walls since the color changes throughout the year.
