The Dead Sea lies about 314 meters below sea level, in a geological fault that extends into southern Africa and forms the lowest point of the earth's surface here.

With a population of just over 600.000, Crete receives more than three million tourists a year.

Derinkuyu was forgotten for several decades.

It is a lake of tectonic origin and was created about 1 - 2 million years ago, although the origins of the pool date back to 8.6 million years ago.

Bay currents, violent weather, giant waves, and human error (difficult navigation in the open sea) were also considered to explain the phenomena in the Bermuda Triangle.

The lake is fed by a tributary of the Ruhuhu River and water flows out of it into the Shire River.

It is a volcanic complex that includes Vesuvius and Monte Somma.

Geologists claim there are more eruptions to come.

In the early 19th century, Lower Manhattan was expanded from the natural Hudson shoreline at Greenwich Street to West Street using reclaimed material.

The 2018 eruption caused a massive tsunami that hit the shores of Indonesia, claiming the lives of 437 people and endangering over 14,000.
