10) Underwater waterfall in Mauritius

Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) off the southeast coast of the African continent. Mauritius was first discovered by the Arabs in 975 AD, then by the Portuguese between 1507 and 1513. Since then there have been periods of succession and colonization among the French, Dutch and British. The island became a republic in 1968. 

In the southwest end of the island one can find a fascinating illusion. When viewed from above, a runoff of sand and sediment deposits create the impression of a "cascade under water." View from satellite (as seen in the images of Google Maps) are equally dramatic, as an underwater vortex apparently appears on the coast of this tropical paradise.

2) Sea Stars, Vaadhoo Island, Maldives

In the Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, occurs one of the most amazing phenomena of the world, called "sea of ​​stars". 

A phenomenon, which makes the sand seems shiny, happens in these beaches. This spectacular event occurs only when temperatures are very high and the night is very dark. Sparks can be seen rolling around underfoot while people walk along the water's edge, creating a beautiful light show. 

Points of light on the shore appear to reflect stars above in a picture taken in Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives. Biological light, or bioluminescence, in waves is the product of marine microbes called phytoplankton, and now scientists think they know how some of these life forms create their bright blue glow. 

It is a spectacular landscape that is necessary to see once in your life. In the movie Life of Pi showed this landscape, one of the most memorable scenes.
