The Dead Sea, Israel and Jordan

Sitting at 1,410 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest body of water on Earth's surface. Located in a desert and featuring a high concentration of salt, it's the perfect spot for floating.

The water is beautiful enough on its own, but the deposits and columns of salt that rise out of the water give it a unique, otherworldly look.



Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

When lakes near these Bolivian salt flats overflow, they create a majestic mirrored surface that reflects the sky and clouds above. The Salar de Uyuni are the largest of their kind and cover a whopping 4,050 square miles of the Bolivian Altiplano.

The vast oasis of salt boasts a horizon that never seems to end, making this spot a photographer's dream.



Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park, Gansu, China

Danxia refers to a special type of landscape found in southwestern China. The colorful, striped mountains are made up of layers of minerals and rock, which were disrupted when tectonic plates caused the island that is now India to collide with the rest of the Eurasia continent.

Now a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, the once little-known wonder is a popular tourist draw — and for good reason. Chances are you've never seen anything like it before.
