8. The Crust is Peeling!
In 1969, over a dozen people were killed in Portugal by a tsunami that was caused by a giant earthquake off the coast. An even larger earthquake had hit the area around 200 years ago, destroying the city of Lisbon and killing over 100,000 people.

7. Deepest Dive Ever
In May of this year, the deepest dive in history was achieved by explorer and businessman Victor Vescovo. He descended 35,853 feet (10,927 meters) to the bottom of the Challenger Deep at the southern end of the Mariana Trench- and the deepest point on the planet.

6. Blob of Rock Triggers Earthquakes
Every year, over 100 earthquakes of a magnitude of 4.0 or greater strike throughout the Hindu Kush mountain range, which stretches some 500 miles (800 kilometers) along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Scientists aren’t sure why, but it’s one of Earth’s most seismically active regions, especially for intermediate-depth earthquakes, which form between 45 and 190 miles below the surface (70-300 kilometers).

5. The Great Whirl
The Great Whirl was first recorded in 1866 by British geographer Alexander Findley. It’s a churning, clockwise ocean whirlpool the size of Colorado that appears off the coast of Somalia every spring. It’s so big, it can be seen from space, and recent satellite images reveal that it’s bigger and longer-lasting than previously thought.

4. Methane Fire-Breathing Mountain
For more than 2,000 years, a mountain in Turkey has been steadily spewing fire. This strange formation is known as the Chimaera Seep, or the Flames of Chimaera. While it is true that the gods might be unhappy as the legend goes, according to a recent New York Times article, the flames are being caused by a bizarre geological phenomenon that scientists can’t quite explain.

3. Big Ocean Waves are Getting Bigger
Due to an increase in extreme winds, ocean waves throughout the world are getting bigger. Good for surfers, not so good for coastlines. This was recently determined in a study by a pair of scientists from the University of Melbourne, Australia, who monitored changes in the ocean using 33 years of satellite data. It’s the biggest-ever collection of wind and wave data yet.

2. Pause in Earthquakes for California
It’s been over a century since California has experienced a ground-rupturing, massive earthquake. The last time this happened was in 1918 and everyone has been expecting one any day now. David Jackson, professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley, expressed concern over the lack of seismic activity at a 2014 conference in Alaska, calling into question scientists’ data on historical earthquakes.

1. Radioactive Carbon Found in Ocean Trenches
You might be surprised to hear that crustaceans living in the deepest parts of the ocean have been found to contain radioactive carbon. These elevated levels of radiocarbon were found in amphipods up to 7 miles (11 kilometers) beneath the surface, in the deep trenches of the Pacific Ocean.

8. The Piri Reis Map
The Piri Reis map is considered the first map of the world. Created in 1513, it was drawn by Ottoman admiral and cartographer Hagii Ahmed Muhiddin Pira, aka Piri Reis, who compiled military intelligence and created a detailed map. Only one third of the original map remains, drawn on gazelle-skin parchment. It shows the Atlantic Ocean, with detailed depictions of the west coast of Europe and North Africa, Atlantic islands like the Azores and the Canary Islands, and all the way to the eastern coast of Brazil.

7. The Baghdad Battery
The Baghdad Battery could almost be considered 3 artifacts in one. It is a terracotta pot that contains a copper cylinder and a single iron rod. The top of the rod is separated from the copper by a layer of bitumen, which acts as a plug or stopper. The rod and cylinder fit snugly into the opening of the jar, but the copper cylinder isn’t watertight, so any liquid in the jar would also make contact with the iron rod.

6. The Sanxingdui Jade
In the spring of 1929, a farmer in the quiet village of Sanxingdui in China’s Sichuan province was digging a well when he discovered a large stash of amazing jade artifacts. They were unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, and Chinese archaeologists scoured the area for years looking for more evidence of the lost people who had made these artifacts.

5. The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript is a hand-written and hand-illustrated book that was probably composed in northern Italy during the Renaissance. The vellum pages are full of drawings, sketches and writing in a language no one understands. The original has been carbon-dated to around 1404 to 1438. It’s named after Wilfrid Voynich, a book dealer who purchased the codex in 1912.

4. The Saqqara Bird
In 1898, archaeologists excavating the Pa-di-Imen tomb in Saqqara, Egypt, discovered the effigy of a bird made of sycamore wood. The bird had the head of a falcon and a wingspan of about 7 inches, but that’s where the similarities to a real bird ends.
For starters, the tail is vertical, like that of an an airplane or a shark! Its wings are represented as rigid like the wings of a glider.

3. Dropa Stones
In 1938, Chinese archaeologist Dr. Chi Pu Tei discovered evidence of a long-lost culture in the caves around Baian-Kara-Ula in China. Under a thick layer of dust, Dr. Chi found dozens of stone disks that were strikingly similar to vinyl records. They were about nine inches in diameter, had a central hole, and were inscribed with a long spiral groove. The disks were turned over to a researcher named Tsum Um Nui from the Beijing Academy for Ancient Studies.

2. The Antikythera Mechanism
In 1902, a strange artifact was pulled up out of an ancient shipwreck off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera. The shipwreck dated to about 70 to 60 BC, and the artifact itself has been dated to about a generation before the wreck took place. It was first believed to be a gear wheel for steering the ship, but it soon became apparent that it was much, much more.

1. The London Hammer
In 1936, at Red Creek outside London, Texas, Max Hahn and his wife Emma found a strange piece of limestone that seemed to have wood sticking out of it. They brought the stone home with them, and used it a curious paperweight. Then, in 1946, their son for some reason broke open the stone, and what he found amazed him.
Contained within the limestone was a man-made hammer.

8. Poisonous Cave
The Movile Cave is located on a barren, desolate plain in southeast Romania’s Constanta county, near the Bulgarian border and the Black Sea. It was discovered in 1986 by workers who were testing the ground to see if it was a suitable place for a power plant.

7. Giant Lemurs
In early 2015, divers and paleontologists discovered a graveyard full of extinct giant lemur remains in a water-filled cave in Madagascar. The bones were found in Tsi-man-ampet-sotsa National Park at the bottom of Aven Cave, along with the remains of several other species, including turtles, rodents, crocodiles, and an extinct flightless bird similar to an ostrich, known as the elephant bird.

6. Glow Worms
On New Zealand’s North Island, there’s a cave that’s known for its population of Arachnocampa luminosa, a glow-worm species found exclusively within the country. It’s part of the Waitomo cave system and is a tourist attraction, offering boat rides underneath the glimmering worms.

5. World’s Earliest Winery
Have you ever wondered about the oldest shoe in the world? For those of you that have, the oldest-known leather shoe, a 5,500-year-old perfectly-preserved moccasin, was discovered in an Armenian cave near the village of Areni. Archaeologists returned to the site in 2007 for further exploration and found an ancient large-scale alcohol production facility, including vats used for trampling grapes by foot, dried vines, fermentation containers, and sampling cups.

4. The Lupercal
In 2007, an Italian team of archaeologists discovered a cave that, until then, only existed in Roman mythology. The 26-foot-high (8 meter) cave, believed to be the Lupercal, was found 52 feet (16 meters) underneath Palatine Hill, near the ruins of Emperor Augustus’s palace. In fact, the archaeologists who found the Lupercal were doing restoration work on the decaying House of Augustus. The newly-uncovered cave contained shells, mosaics, and marble.

3. Murals of the Life of Buddha
In 2007, a villager in a remote region of Nepal led an international team of archaeologists to a cave containing 55 previously unknown paintings depicting the life of Buddha. The team was already in the region restoring paintings in a 15th-century monastery, and asked the local if he knew of any other ancient artwork. He remembered seeing the cave paintings as a child and took them there.

2. Snottite
Also known as cave slime or snoticles, snottite is an abundance of bacterial growth resulting in a slime that drips from the walls and ceilings of some caves. As you can probably guess, it was named after its mucus-like consistency and texture.

1. Olm Salamander
In the caves of Slovenia and Croatia dwells a pale, pinkish salamander that is almost entirely blind. The olm salamander adapted to life in dark caves by developing various “super senses,” including the ability to sense electricity and, possibly, magnetic fields.

9. Water on Mars
Many books, TV shows, and movies have fantasized about colonizing the planet Mars. The only problem is that Mars is not a place that can sustain life in its current state, and just as bad, it does not have any water...or so we thought. In 2018, scans from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter discovered that formations on the planet were actually caused by water that is still there right now.

8. Multiple "Earths"
In February 2017, NASA discovered that there might be 7 Earth-like planets orbiting a dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1. In fact, all seven of these planets were found in the same galaxy, which is a very rare thing indeed.

7. Liquid on Titan
Saturn has 53 moons that have been named by scientists, and more could actually be named in the future. One of the most popular of these moons is the one known as Titan. It's been the source of much research, and has even been home to an alien race in the Marvel Comics Universe. During a scan by the Cassini Space Probe of NASA, they found that in certain gorges and canyons of Titan, there are actually pools of liquid, specifically hydrocarbons.

6. Comet Soup
In 2005, NASA sent their Deep Impact spacecraft into a comet called Tempel 1. If you're curious as to why they would destroy one of their craft by crashing it into a comet on purpose, it is because they wanted to analyze the content and particles that were released from the impact.

5. Saturn's Rings
The Rings of Saturn are not only the most defining features of the planet, but also one of the most recognizable things in all of our solar system. Strangely enough NASA speculates that the rings are "dying".

4. Jupiter's Orbit
NASA has long tried to get a spacecraft into Jupiter's orbit. But because of conditions in the planet's atmosphere, it's been a very difficult task. Not to mention, getting a craft near the planet in terms of its position in space is also hard. Yet, on July 4th, 2016, the Juno became the first spacecraft to make it into Jupiter's orbit, which by NASA's own admission was one of the hardest things they've ever done.

3. Supermassive Black Hole
The Hubble Space Telescope is one of NASA's biggest tools in regards to searching deep space for new discoveries, and in February of 2016, the telescope took a picture of a galaxy and found a black hole of astonishing size.

2. Ice Volcanoes
On Earth, volcanoes spew fire, ash, soot, and smoke, but on the dwarf planet (a planet that never matured to full size) called Ceres, the volcanoes ice! This was discovered by NASA via their Dawn Spacecraft in 2015, which was observing Ceres (which orbits between Mars and Jupiter).

1. Reaching Ultima Thule
4 billion miles away from Earth, there is an object known as Ultima Thule. This "celestial body" is actually two round objects made of an unknown composition that are actually fused together. NASA has released the first up-close stereo images of this celestial body via the New Horizons spacecraft, making this the most distant object that a spacecraft from Earth has ever explored.

10. Mutilated Great White Sharks
During a 3 day period in May of 2017, four of the world’s most fearsome predators washed up on the beaches of South Africa’s Western Cape province. The following month, another Great White Shark was found… and each of them was mutilated in a similar way. They were all missing chunks out of their bodies as well as their livers, which had been ripped out, and there were other signs of mutilations- such as missing stomachs and testes.

9. Palm Oil
In 2017, 13 beaches in Hong Kong had to be closed because of disgusting deposits that began to be washed ashore. The Styrofoam-like clumps were soon discovered to be made up of palm oil, which had been released into the ocean during the collision of two ships in the Pearl River estuary.

8. Ice Balls
In 2013, residents around Lake Michigan found hundreds of giant ice balls along the shoreline. Each of them weighed as much as 50 pounds and, surprisingly, they’re actually quite common. They occur during the winter, as a result of a weather phenomenon that sees a combination of wind and wave action against the shore.

7. 200 Million-Year-Old Fossil
Storms are often responsible for churning up all kinds of material from the sea and depositing it on the beach. In 2014, a beachcomber on the Jurassic Coast, in the English county of Dorset, made an incredible discovery. Embedded in the rocks, he found the skeleton of a five-foot long, toothy animal that resembled a dolphin- but actually turned out to be a 200 million-year-old Ichthyosaur.

6. Deep Sea Fish
In 2015, two co-workers were walking along the beach on Catalina Island in California, when they came across a strange 13.5-foot long carcass. It was unlike anything they had seen before and is something rarely seen by most people- as it was a deep sea oarfish that usually lives at depths of between 660 and 3000 feet.

5. Sea Pickles
It may not be the greatest surprise to hear that weird things have washed up on the beaches of Oregon, but the waters are full of peculiar jelly-like translucent creatures that look like slugs. They first began appearing in 2015, but by 2017 there were millions in the region, with many of them washing up on the shoreline.

4. Cannonballs
In Charleston, South Carolina, live cannonballs from the Revolutionary and Civil wars are often found around the city… and wash up on the shores. Most of them are inactive lumps of metal, but others still have the ability to explode. They're most commonly found during construction projects, but following Hurricane Matthew in 2016, 15 civil war cannonballs washed ashore on Folly Beach.

3. E.T
In 2011, 76-year-old Margaret Wells of Cosham, in England, was devastated when her home was robbed. They took all of her jewelry, an iron, and her beloved life-sized E.T figure that her daughter had made for her. She thought she'd never see it again, but was surprised in early 2012 when she received a call from police to tell her that they had found it!!

2. Giant Sea Monster
The communities living on Seram island in Indonesia rely on the sea for their livelihoods and probably have seen virtually everything that it has to offer. In 2017, though, something washed up on the shore of Hulung beach that made them all realize that there were mysterious things in the depths.

1. Whiskey Galore
It’s not often that something great washes ashore but, in 1941, residents of the Outer Hebrides in Scotland were in for a treat. On the morning of February 5th, the SS Politician was passing by- having left Liverpool, England, on its way to Kingston, Jamaica, and New Orleans.
