The Peculiar Pinnacles: located in Nambung National Park, Western Australia. They are nicknamed as the “Rockstars of the Outback”. These rocks are spread over an area of area of 17,487 hectares. These amazing natural limestone structures, some standing as high as five metres, were formed approximately 25,000 to 30,000 years ago after the sea receded and the winds blew away the surrounded sand.

The Sliding Stones: Scary huh! The place where this happens is scarier. They are found in Death Valley, California, USA. These stones are as heavy as 700 pounds and move across a flat bed. The scientists are unable to explain this phenomenon. Do the stones roll every day? nah! The stones move only every two or three years and most tracks develop over three or four years. Can you?
