Ten of the world's strangest places to visit

There are places on Earth that you might never have imagined: places where water is spewed up to a height of 6 metres, very peculiar hieroglyphics and perhaps belonging to some ritual, tanks rising out of the water, small hills with an inordinate number of crosses, unique rock formations - scroll down the list and discover the 10 strangest places in the world!
In first place is Thor's Well, USA: In this area of Oregon, an impressive natural depression called the 'gateway to hell' develops.
Thor's Well is part of the Siuslaw National Forest reserve and connects the mainland with the ocean via a series of underground caverns. In the presence of waves, water is 'spat out' up to a height of 6 metres.
