8. Bigăr Waterfall\r
Although it doesnt impress by its size or the way its water flows, the thing that separates this waterfall from all the rest is where its located at and its unusual shape that is said to take the shape of a huge mushroom. Its an extension of a cliff that is entirely covered by moss. The Bigăr waterfall, thats found in Romania, happens to lie directly in a spot thats between the North Pole and the Equator. What also makes this waterfall unique to others is the way that the water scatters as it falls into the river.\r

7. Baatara Gorge Waterfall Lebanon\r
Falling past three stone bridges that were naturally formed, the Baatara Gorge Waterfall appears to look like something that was specially created for the setting of a mythical world. This spectacular view is only able to be seen during the months of March and April because of the melting snow that causes the waterfall. The drop of the waterfall is measured at being an impressive 225 meters.\r
\r
6. Underwater Waterfall\r
Alright alright! We can see that this one is technically NOT a waterfall, but its too amazing not to include it. Its located off the coast of the Republic of Mauritius and it happens to be just an optical illusion that only makes it seem like theres a waterfall in the ocean. This illusion is created by the sand and silt that sink deeper into the ocean. \r

5. Angel Falls Venezuela\r
Angel Falls has the contrast of being the worlds highest waterfall that is uninterrupted and even though its found in an isolated jungle, it still manages to draw a number of tourists to it each year in Venezuela. Its measured at being 15 times that of Niagara Falls and was flown over by an American aviator name Jimmy Angel in 1993 and thats where the falls gets its name from.\r

4. Cameron Falls\r
Cameron Falls happens to be found in Alberta, Canada in Waterton Lake National Park. Whats really interesting about this particular waterfall is that only in the month of June are you able to see the normally clear waters turn into a vibrant pink. This phenomena thats considered rare occurs during the springtime when the rains stir up a sediment in the lake called argillite. When the light hits this mineral just right, it causes the water to look this pink. This is similar to the same way that light hits the moisture in the air in order to create what we know as a rainbow. \r

3. Sticky Waterfalls In Thailand\r
Its pretty common that water that flows down rocks have usually slick and slippery surfaces. However, thats not the case with the Bua Tong Waterfalls that are found in Thailand. Rather, these falls are known for being “sticky” because of a large amount of limestone located underneath. Another main difference is that there is no algae or slime found in these falls. Did you know that because of the huge amount of limestone that its possible for people to walk up the falls?\r
\r
2. Ruby Falls\r
Ruby Falls, which is located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, happens to be the deepest commercial limestone cave that is found in the entirety of the United States. Its also the most visited waterfall that is located underground in the whole country with around 400,000 visitors annually. The falls measure at being 145-feet high and was named after Ruby Lambert, who was the wife of the man that discovered the falls. Care not to drink the water! It happens to contain a really high concentration of magnesium, which did you know is a natural laxative? These caves are lighted with special colors to give it a more magical vibe.\r
\r
1. Blood Falls\r
The Blood Falls are located in Antarcticas McMurdo Dry Valley and are measured at being around 5 stories high. The waterfall happens to pour out from the Taylor Glacier right into Lake Bonney. Its pretty clear that theres no real blood that gives the Blood Falls its name. Instead, there is a five-million-year-old subterranean lake that is trapped underneath the glaciers. When the glaciers that were located on top of the lake started to freeze, the water had become incredibly salty. So salty, in f, that the water thats located in the subglacial lake has a salt content that is 3 times higher than the oceans and because of this the water isnt able to freeze. \r
There happens to be a quarter mile of thick ice that keeps the lake from being in cont with any sunlight whatsoever and has built up a large amount of iron. The reason the water comes out as blood-colored is because the oxygen rusts all the iron once it reaches the surface.
