The Most Unexplainable Places on Earth

Lake Abraham

Lake Abraham in Alberta, Canada hosts some of the coolest sights in North America. In the warmer months, the lake is a beautiful shade of blue. During the winter, the water freezes up and, in turn, the methane gas produced under the water gets frozen as well. The lake looks like a giant acrylic painting! 

Island of the Dolls

The Island of the Dolls in Mexico is an incredibly haunting island deep in the Mexican swamp forest. It's in the canals of the Xochimilco neighborhood near Mexico City and can only be visited via boat. The island's caretaker became haunted by guilt after he was unable to save a little girl who drowned nearby. He decorated the island with baby dolls in her honor. Now, his nephew manages the island.
