Sailing Stones located in Death Valley, California

This is one that puzzled scientists for a long time. The site is located near the Racetrack Playa Lakebed and basically consists of rocks that seem to have walked across the lake bed leaving a trail in the sand. A recent hypothesis suggests that the movement of the rocks is caused by strong winds and the slickness of the lake bed.

Luminescent Plankton in San Juan Island, Washington State

While bioluminescence occurs in many places throughout the world, the waters around Washington State are some of the most incredible places to see this phenomenon. Strong currents bring a plethora of nutrients to the area, attracting an abundance of bioluminescent plankton.
