Listing the most unusual places in the world, one cannot but recall the Salar de Uyuni. The natural gem of Bolivia, Uyuni is a salt marsh, that is, a dried salt lake. It becomes a real miracle of nature during the rainy season. Covering itself with a thin layer of water, the salty surface turns into the largest natural mirror in the world.

Iceland's culinary traditions are mind-boggling. For example, a traditional Icelandic dish called Haukal is rotten shark meat cut into pieces. If you dare to try, then such a rotten delicacy can taste like urea.
