However, the falls were flooded  in 1982 when a dam was created to take advantage of this massive flow  rate. The Itaipu Dam is now the second most powerful hydroelectric dam  in the world, after the Three Gorges Dam. The Itaipu Dam supplies 90% of  the power consumed by Paraguay, and 19% of the power consumed by  Brazil, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. 2 Iceberg B-15 Antarctica <img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/iceberg-1-tm.jpg?w=380&h=354" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Iceberg B-15 was the largest ever recorded iceberg. It had an area of  3,100 km², making it larger than the island of Jamaica, and was created  when part of the Ross Ice Shelf broke off in March 2000. In 2003, it  broke apart, and one of the larger pieces (called B-15a) drifted north,  eventually smashing into a glacier in 2005, breaking off an 8-km²  section and forcing many antarctic maps to be rewritten. It drifted  along the coast and eventually ran aground, breaking up once again. In  2006, a storm in Alaska (that’s right, Alaska) caused an ocean swell  that travelled 13,500km, over 6 days, to Antarctica and broke up the  largest remaining part even more. Almost a decade on, parts of the  iceberg have still not melted, with the largest remaining part, still  called B-15a, having an area of 1,700 km². The picture above shows B-15a  (top left) in 2005, after drifting west into the Drygalski Glacier  (bottom), breaking the end off into several pieces. 3 Don Juan Pond Antarctica <img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/donjuanstill-0660_web-tm.jpg?w=400&h=288" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> With a salinity of over 40%, Don Juan Pond is the saltiest body of water  in the world. It is named after the two pilots who first investigated  the pond in 1961, Lt Don Roe and Lt John Hickey. It is a small lake,  only 100m by 300m, and on average 0.1m deep, but it is so salty that  even in the Antarctic, where the temperature at the pond regularly drops  to as low as -30 degrees Celsius, it never freezes. It is 18 times  saltier than sea water, compared to the Dead Sea which is only 8 times  saltier than sea water. 4 Rotorua New Zealand <img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/mud-pools-tm.jpg?w=400&h=300" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Rotorua is a city on the southern shores of the lake of the same name,  in the Bay of Plenty region of the North Island of New Zealand. The city  is known for its geothermal activity, with a number of geysers, notably  the Pohutu Geyser at Whakarewarewa, and boiling mud pools (pictured  above) located in the city. This thermal activity owes itself to the  Rotorua caldera on which the city lies. Rotorua is also a top adventure  destination and is New Zealand’s Maori cultural heartland. Rotorua city  is renowned for its unique “rotten eggs” aroma, which is caused by the  geothermal activity releasing sulphur compounds into the atmosphere.  If  you are ever visiting New Zealand – this is a city you must see.  It  was once home to the famed Pink and White Terraces and you can visit  thermal wonderlands with sights that are truly astounding. 5 83-42 Greenland <img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/610x-10-tm.jpg?w=400&h=266" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This is more of a curiosity and not visually impressive, but 83-42 is  believed to be the northernmost permanent point of land on earth. It is  tiny, only 35m by 15m and 4m high, but is about 400 miles from the north  pole. It beat the previous record holder, ATOW1996, when it was  discovered in 1998, and lichens were found growing on it, suggesting it  was not just one of the temporary gravel bars that are found in that  region, which are regularly pushed around by the rough seas. The picture  above features what is currently the northernmost point on land, one of  the temporary gravel bars, photographed in 2007, as I could find no  photos of 83-42 (For some reason, nobody feels the need to produce a  photograph of a tiny rock in the middle of nowhere, which only five  people have ever stepped foot on). 6 Socotra Republic of Yemen <img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/socotra_island-tm.jpg?w=400&h=293" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Socotra has been described as one of the most alien-looking place on  Earth, and it’s not hard to see why. It is very isolated with a harsh,  dry climate and as a result a third of its plant-life is found nowhere  else, including the famous Dragon’s Blood Tree, a very-unnatural looking  umbrella-shaped tree which produces red sap. There are also a large  number of birds, spiders and other animals native to the island, and  coral reefs around it which similarly have a large number of endemic  (i.e. only found there) species. Socotra is considered the most  biodiverse place in the Arabian sea, and is a World Heritage Site.               7 The Great Dune of Pyla France <img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/pyla-tm.jpg?w=400&h=283" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Since Europe has no deserts, you’d think the title of “Europe’s largest  sand dune” would go to something that wasn’t particularly impressive.  But you’d be wrong. The Great Dune of Pyla is 3km long, 500m wide and  100m high, and for reasons I will probably never understand, it seems to  have formed in a forest. The dune is very steep on the side facing the  forest and is famous for being a paragliding site. At the top it also  provides spectacular views out to sea and over the forest (since the  dune is far higher than any of the trees surrounding it). 8 Meteor Crater USA <img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/800px-meteor-tm.jpg?w=400&h=243" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Meteor Crater is a meteorite impact crater located approximately 43  miles (69 km) east of Flagstaff, near Winslow in the northern Arizona  desert of the United States. Because the US Department of the Interior  Division of Names commonly recognizes names of natural features derived  from the nearest post office, the feature acquired the name of “Meteor  Crater” from the nearby post office named Meteor.  The crater was  created about 50,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch when the  local climate on the Colorado Plateau was much cooler and damper. At the  time, the area was an open grassland dotted with woodlands inhabited by  woolly mammoths, giant ground sloths, and camels. It was probably not  inhabited by humans; the earliest confirmed record of human habitation  in the Americas dates from long after this impact. The object that  excavated the crater was a nickel-iron meteorite about 50 meters (54  yards) across, which impacted the plain at a speed of several kilometers  per second. 9 Mount Roraima Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana <img src="http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/1466112365_7cdd1036d8-tm.jpg?w=400&h=282" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Mount Roraima is a pretty remarkable place. It is a tabletop mountain  with sheer 400-metre high cliffs on all sides. There is only one ‘easy’  way up, on a natural staircase-like ramp on the Venezuelan side – to get  up any other way takes and experienced rock climber. On the top of the  mountain it rains almost every day, washing away most of the nutrients  for plants to grow and creating a unique landscape on the bare sandstone  surface. This also creates some of the highest waterfalls in the world  over the sides (Angel falls is located on a similar tabletop mountain  some 130 miles away). Though there are only a few marshes on the  mountain where vegetation can grow properly, these contain many species  unique to the mountain, including a species of carnivorous pitcher  plant. 10 The Door To Hell Turkmenistan පොඩි වීඩියෝ එකක් තියෙන්නේ එකත් බලන්න .මේක එල <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KGHxVW1NbrQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KGHxVW1NbrQ</a> The Door to Hell, as local residents at the nearby town of Darvaza  have dubbed it, is a 70 meter wide crater in Turkmenistan that has been  burning continuously for 35 years. In 1971, geologists drilling for gas  deposits uncovered a huge underground cavern, which caused the ground  over it to collapse, taking down all their equipment and their camp with  it. Since the cavern was filled poisonous gas, they dared not go down  to retrieve their equipment, and to prevent the gas escaping they  ignited it, hoping it would burn itself out in a couple of days.  Unfortunately, there was a slight miscalculation as to the amount of gas  that was trapped, and the crater continues to burn to this day.
