9 Frozen Methane Bubbles

This occurs when dead organic matter sinks to the bottom of a water body and it rots. Due to this, methane is released. If the water freezes, it traps the methane bubbles.

11 The Caño Cristales River

The famous Colombian river which is located in the Serrania de la Macarena province of Meta is also known as the ‘River of Five Colours'. It is regarded as the most beautiful river in the world as the water is crystal clear all year round.

During what is called the dip season when the water level falls, the moss underwater is exposed to the sunlight that gives this vast array of colours. The river looks like a liquid rainbow.
