Which of these do you think is the strangest? 😱

I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were several locations in this video that were unknown to me. I would love to see a Part 2!

Magnetic Hill isn't an isolated thing. There's one in Florida called Spook Hill. Legend has it, a Seminole warrior battled a massive alligator and died. His ghost stays in the area to push anyone near the hill away. I went back as an adult with a level. It's really just an optical illusion with the nearby geography. You will appear to be moving uphill, but the bubble in the level is at a very slight downward slope.

The North Sentinelise are very aware of the outside world, considering that many neighboring tribes were completely wiped out. That is the reason why they are so protective of their island.

Naypyidaw: "It is roughly 4 times the size of London" ....less than a minute later.... "As mentioned earlier, it is roughly the same size of London" ...which is it?

To anyone who's curious:
Almería is a province within the sub-region of Andalusia. It's home to probably the only desert in Europe, tha Tabernas Desert.

There are gravity hills in the US as well, and they're just optical illusions. Usually in the US they're caused by trees growing in at an angle, and making the road look like it slopes the opposite way. Of course, you can easily test this using a level. Also, if there really is a massive magnetic field there, it shouldn't affect a beach ball or something like that, so you could set that on the ground and see if it rolls.

As far as I know Naypyidaw isn't this empty because people don't want to move in - but simply because it's so new. The place is 20 years old this year if we consider its birth from the commencement of the construction, and 10 years old if we consider the completion of the construction as the birth year. And it was deliberately built huge to be able to accommodate a huge number of unhabitants - of course now it still looks empty. Check back in 20 years ;)
We are used to organically growing cities: places that starts out small and then grow with the population - so they never feel or look "empty". This is a different concept.

Cool fact about the pink lake in Western Australia.. There's actually also one in Melbourne that emerges during droughts or heatwaves. It's an estuary cut off from the nearby bay, just next to the Westgate Bridge, nearby to the CBD. If you Instagram Melbourne Pink Lake, there was lots of photos taken during summer 2019 (or was it 2018?) when it was cranking for a few weeks. Smaller & rarer than Western Australia's Pink Lake, it was nevertheless very vibrant, & looked stranger in a way because it had a freeway bridge behind it on one side, & a backdrop of the large Melbourne skyline on the other.

2:29 The narrator says that since hostile receptions, "No further contact has been attempted" with North Sentinel Island residents. The picture shows outsiders and island residents happily exchanging goods.

0:27 I live there :) but there is not as much pollution as it seems, it is very difficult to find a piece of greenhouse plastic in the sea

That's an exceptional collection of fantastic spots. Thank you very much for making and sharing

Great video. One tip, though: please note there's a world of difference between 'square kilometres' and 'kilometres squared' (note the 'd'). An area that's 5km wide and 10km long is 50 square km, but "50km squared" would mean 2500 square km! 😉

Great vid! Some amazing places. One point: leave a gap in between introducing the next place! It all rolls into one otherwise. 👍Keep them coming

Magnetic Hill: Someone should really just bring a level and a tennis ball there.

[ilovebeerpong]

I expected to already know all locations since I'm into these kind of freaky places, turns out I only knew about 2 of them. Great Video!

8:56 this region is wrongly showed. Magnetic hills are in up ladakh not in Gujarat. 😀 Hope you correct it

[itwasaliens]

They absolutely know about the outside world, which is why they're so hostile.

Also up until the late 1800s there was a ton of indigenous people on the islands all around there. They were all completely wiped out by a disease and kidnappings. They know exactly what is in for them if they start letting people on the island.

They also know what airplanes and ships are.

Educational, interesting and well put together. Like the commentary style as well . Keeps you interested & keen for more. Thank you

Great video. I lived close to the spotted lake in Osoyoos in the Okanagan. It can really smell foul with the sulphur odour.
