Les tours les plus fous que la nature peut vous jouer
Préparez-vous à être époustouflé – nous plongeons dans le monde des phénomènes naturels rares, et croyez-moi, ça va être incroyable ! Avez-vous déjà entendu parler des brinicles ? Ces tentacules glacés se forment sous l'eau et ressemblent à quelque chose tout droit sorti d'un film de science-fiction. Ils sont en fait comme des stalactites sous-marines qui se déplacent le long du fond océanique, gelant tout sur leur passage. C'est comme le tour de magie glacé de la nature ! Alors, la prochaine fois que vous explorez l'océan, gardez les yeux ouverts – vous ne savez jamais sur quel phénomène étonnant vous pourriez tomber. Animation créée par Sympa.

00:00 Hey, have you ever seen a rainbow of fire?
00:04 Yeah, me neither. And a circular arc.
00:08 I don't think so, but just so you know, it's the same thing.
00:12 At first glance, it looks like a painting, or a big rainbow-colored trace in the sky.
00:17 Despite their name, they have nothing in common with fire or rain.
00:21 This phenomenon occurs on rare occasions when the sun shines through a certain formation of clouds loaded with ice.
00:28 Rainbow-colored halos are just as unique.
00:32 Again, a specific type of ice crystal must be present in the clouds
00:37 so that the Earth's surface curves the sun's light into a perfect ring.
00:41 The same thing can happen with the moon's light.
00:44 The only difference is that lunar halos are generally white,
00:48 and that solar halos can be rainbow-colored.
00:52 When you visit high-altitude regions,
00:55 you can be one of the few lucky ones to see snow penitents.
00:59 They are actually ice peaks naturally formed.
01:03 To form them, you need a really cold environment, at a height, and where the air is dry.
01:08 The sun's light directly transforms the ice into steam rather than melting it into water.
01:14 And that's why these snow and ice blades start to appear on the surface of the Earth.
01:19 As graceful as they may be, they can reach a height of nearly 5 meters.
01:24 What happens when small drops of lava meet the wind?
01:28 Well, that's what's called "pearly hair."
01:31 Let me explain.
01:32 The word "pearly" comes from the ancient Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes.
01:36 Every time the wind carries small drops of lava,
01:39 it stretches them to form bristles similar to hair,
01:42 a bit like in the process of creating a glass thread.
01:45 These delicate bristles can stretch up to 2 meters.
01:49 On rare occasions, it can rain without any clouds.
01:53 But is it really rain?
01:55 Let's examine the scientific aspects of this rare phenomenon.
01:58 It is sometimes called a "sunburst,"
02:00 because it seems like the rain is falling straight from our star.
02:04 But let's be clear, it is impossible for rain to fall directly from the sun.
02:09 Rain clouds are at a certain distance from where it rains.
02:13 When the sun's rays are oriented in a certain way,
02:16 the clouds are out of sight.
02:18 Add a little wind to blow the rain in your direction,
02:21 and abracadabra, you get sunbursts.
02:25 In Bolivia, there is a place called the Salar de Uyuni.
02:29 It is the largest salt desert in the world,
02:31 measuring about 10,580 square kilometers.
02:35 This is also where half of the planet's lithium is located,
02:39 a crucial element in the manufacture of batteries.
02:42 But what else is so special about this place?
02:45 Every time the rainy season arrives,
02:47 it turns this flat, mirrored lake into a perfectly thoughtful one.
02:52 What comes to mind when you hear about "blood waterfall"?
02:56 A horror movie?
02:58 Well, it's simply a series of waterfalls
03:01 located in one of the driest regions of Antarctica.
03:04 They emerge from an underground lake filled with a certain type of bacteria.
03:08 These small organisms use sulfates as nutrients instead of sugar,
03:13 which makes them fascinating for scientists.
03:15 The water contained in this lake is so saturated with iron
03:18 that it simply rusts when it comes into contact with the air,
03:21 hence the reddish color of the waterfall, which is worth its name.
03:25 OK, we all know the song "Sting's Desert Rose",
03:28 but it's not entirely illusory.
03:30 There is indeed a thing called the "sand rose".
03:34 It's not a plant, but a unique formation of gypsum.
03:37 It grows in dry and sandy places,
03:40 which can occasionally be flooded.
03:42 This constant passage between a wet and dry environment
03:45 allows the gypsum crystals to emerge between the sand grains,
03:48 imprisoning them in a form of rose.
03:51 Have you ever heard of the "eye of Africa"?
03:53 Scientists are still trying to understand how it was formed.
03:57 You can only see it if you fly over it,
03:59 but it's actually a natural dome.
04:02 Richard's structure was formed about 100 million years ago.
04:06 And no, I wasn't there at the time.
04:08 It is approximately 40 km in diameter
04:11 and consists of several concentric rings.
04:14 The largest, or central zone, measures about 30 km in diameter.
04:19 Astronauts were among the first to notice it,
04:22 and it has been studied extensively since.
04:25 Even today, when astronauts land in Florida,
04:28 they know they're almost home when they see the "eye of Africa".
04:33 One of the most beautifully colored trees in the world
04:36 is found in the Philippines and Indonesia.
04:38 It's called the rainbow eucalyptus.
04:41 It owes its name to its bark, which changes color
04:44 and detaches as the tree ages.
04:47 The greenish-green bark is the youngest,
04:49 because it is full of chlorophyll,
04:51 which is usually found in leaves.
04:53 It then turns purple, then red.
04:56 Finally, it turns brown as it grows and loses its chlorophyll.
05:01 Don't get the illusion that there's a whole forest here.
05:05 It's actually just one tree.
05:07 And no, it's not a kind of optical illusion either.
05:10 Let me explain.
05:11 Under the Earth, there is a complex network of roots
05:14 that connects about 47,000 tree forms that emerge from the ground.
05:18 It's called the faux-tremble poplar.
05:21 Some of these trees are among the oldest and largest organisms in the world.
05:26 This is a good destination for all travelers.
05:29 Well, maybe not so good, actually.
05:32 The area most frequently affected by lightning in the world,
05:35 according to recent data published by NASA,
05:37 is Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela.
05:40 On average, every day of the year,
05:42 300 thunderstorms occur in this area.
05:45 But what makes this region so unique
05:47 that thunderstorms occur so often?
05:50 Well, it's because it's here that the cool air of the mountains
05:53 meets the hot and humid breeze of the lake,
05:55 which generates electricity above it.
05:58 This glacier may look like someone dropped tons of red paint
06:02 in the middle of Antarctica,
06:04 but it's actually a natural color.
06:06 Blood drops are the result of extremely salty water
06:09 mixed with iron oxide,
06:11 which gives this sinister atmosphere in the middle of nowhere.
06:15 In early May 2018,
06:17 New England residents were able to observe
06:19 one of the most frightening and dangerous phenomena ever,
06:23 a very long-range tornado.
06:26 The frightening natural phenomenon began its race not far from Charleston,
06:30 in New Hampshire,
06:31 but it was launched into the city of Webster,
06:33 in the county of Merrimack.
06:35 It took 33 minutes for the tornado to travel 58 km,
06:39 and become the third on the list of tornadoes
06:42 with the longest trajectory in New England.
06:45 In the Philippines,
06:47 you can swim in one of the most crystalline waters in the world
06:50 and discover an underwater world under your feet
06:52 in the province of Palawan.
06:54 The city of Coron has white sand beaches
06:57 with many small boats sailing in the many amazing landscapes.
07:01 Tristan da Cunha is a small volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic,
07:05 with the largest neighbors being the cities of Buenos Aires in Argentina
07:09 and the Cape in South Africa.
07:11 It takes seven days by boat to get to this unique place.
07:15 If you want to escape the rest of the world
07:17 by staying among the 280 inhabitants,
07:19 you'll feel like you're far from everything.
07:22 During the first week of January 2018,
07:25 an exceptionally cold spring in the northeast of the United States
07:29 froze the Atlantic Ocean to North Falmouth in Massachusetts.
07:33 The ocean was so frozen that people could walk on the waves.
07:37 It's obviously something you don't see every day.
07:40 The red sand is what makes this beach so unique
07:44 and the reason why tourists flock to Tianjin in China.
07:48 A red plant called Suaida Salsa lives in the salt water.
07:52 The whole beach is covered in red,
07:55 and only the upper layer of the sea is visible.
07:58 If there's one thing that seems to challenge gravity,
08:01 it's the stone of Dabasco in Argentina.
08:03 The huge 300-tonne rock stands precariously on the edge of a cliff
08:07 and swings a little from one side to the other,
08:10 under the effect of the wind.
08:12 People even checked it by putting bottles of water under one of its edges.
08:16 They exploded with a rock's movement.
08:18 Unfortunately, today you can't see this wonder of nature
08:22 as it was a century ago.
08:24 In 1912, the rock suddenly fell from the perch it had been occupying for hundreds of years.
08:29 The inhabitants of the neighboring town of Tandil
08:32 were so saddened by this event that 95 years later, in 2007,
08:36 they decided to restore the stone.
08:38 They made a plastic replica of it
08:41 and placed it in the same place and in the same position.
08:44 Even today, when you pass by Tandil,
08:47 you can see its famous rock in balance,
08:49 even if it's more of a symbol
08:51 as it no longer swings and weighs only 9 tonnes.
08:54 But it's still immediately recognizable.
08:57 Socotra is an alien-looking island
09:00 located off the coast of Yemen in the Indian Ocean
09:03 with one of the most unique trees in the world.
09:06 It's called the dragon tree,
09:08 and it's only found on this amazing island.
09:10 In 2008, it was recognized as a World Heritage Site.
09:14 If you ever see a compact, burning air column,
09:17 don't panic. It's not the end of the world.
09:20 The frightening combination of the sound of whirlwinds and burning embers
09:24 means you're on the path of a fire tornado.
09:27 This dangerous phenomenon occurs mainly during forest fires.
09:31 Fires create a large, very hot air zone just above the ground.
09:35 When this burning air mixes with the fresher air, located higher up,
09:39 it creates a whirlwind that burns burning debris and flames.
09:42 The most powerful fire tornadoes
09:44 can spread over hundreds of metres in the sky.
09:47 The Mystery House in Gold Hill, Oregon,
09:51 amazes its visitors with effects that defy gravity.
09:54 You can't stand straight.
09:56 You always lean to one side,
09:58 and you have to hold on to something to keep your balance.
10:01 The balls roll up,
10:03 and there's a broom that stays perfectly still
10:06 wherever you put it, unlike almost everything else in the cabin.
10:10 Local Native American tribes called this place the Forbidden Land
10:14 even before the house was built,
10:16 and they avoided getting close.
10:19 But the owners of the cabin decided to make it an attraction,
10:22 and they succeeded.
10:24 They created a mysterious atmosphere around the place
10:27 and spread the news in the newspapers and later on the Internet.
10:31 And there you have it, a perfect anomaly is born.
10:34 In fact, it's nothing more than a curiosity,
10:37 an optical illusion created by man
10:39 that deceives your eyes and your other senses.
10:42 If you travel to the Philippines, Indonesia or Papua New Guinea,
10:46 you'll be lucky enough to see some of the most unusual
10:49 and happiest trees in the world.
10:51 The trunk of the Eucalyptus rainbow
10:53 seems to have been painted orange, green, red,
10:56 purple, yellow, brown and blue.
10:59 Some trees are so bright that they seem artificial.
11:03 The Eucalyptus rainbow regularly loses the bark,
11:06 which reveals a bright green layer underneath.
11:09 A little later, this green layer gradually changes color,
11:13 and as the tree is produced at different times
11:15 in different places of the trunk,
11:17 the tree begins to have a multicolored and very attractive appearance.
11:21 Yemen houses the oldest skyscrapers
11:24 and the oldest metropolis in the world.
11:26 The old city of Shibam is considered the Manhattan of the desert
11:30 because of the collection of buildings in the dirt that come out of the desert.
11:34 It was used as a stage for caravans during Antiquity.
