This natural origin is a salt water fountain called as Thor’s Well. It is situated in North America in Cape Perpetua, Oregon. Cape Perpetua is a forested area located at the center surrounded by water on three sides.

There are several other features found in this region.

“oasis of America” is one of the beautiful desert in America. It is situated in Huacachina, a small village in Peru in South America. It is just five kilometers from city Ica located in the Ica district. It has a permanent population around 100 years. Thousands of tourists visit this desert every year.

It is a wonderful island in a sea of sand. It has a watery pool in the shades of green and blue, which is completely surrounded by the environment around it.

The palm tree and the verdant Peruvian watering hole was the two main things which attracts the tourist people over 70 years. The Oasis was formerly a getaway for the upper class, escaping through the desert from nearby Ica. The village has became a hub of backpacking and sandboarding abruptly describing its name.

In recent years, the water level of the pool has dropped, due to this the community has sustained it through pumping water from other external sources. As this situation rises the budget and restrictions for pumping the water will be a great demand for future generation.

The world’s smallest continent and the largest island, “Australia is a traveller’s paradise”.

   Fraser Island is a heritage-listed island located along the south-eastern coast of the state of Queensland, Australia.

   Fraser Island formed about two million years ago. Strong winds and ocean waters carried large amounts of sand from the New South Wales area, depositing it along the coast of Queensland. This sand piled up until the island was formed.

   Fraser Island is one of the world’s most unusual islands. Not only is it the largest sand island in the world – 123 kilometres (76 miles) long and 22 kilometres (14 miles) wide – but it’s the only place on Earth where tall rainforests grow.

   Fraser Island, just a short ferry trip from Hervey Bay, is the largest sand island in the world and a major part of Australia sightseeing. It offers one of Australia’s most unique four-wheel-drive adventures. 

   It was inscribed as a World Heritage site in 1992.The island is considered to be the largest sand island in the world.

   The island has a range of plants including patches of rainforest. There are also perched freshwater lakes. These are lakes that are not connected to the groundwater, but sit above them. Half of the perched lakes in the world are found on Fraser Island. The water in the lakes is very clear.

   Fraser Island has over 100 fresh water lakes, which is the second highest concentration of lakes in Australia after Tasmania. The freshwater lakes on Fraser Island are some of the cleanest lakes in the world.

   Fraser Island is home to a small number of mammal species, as well as a diverse range of birds, reptiles and amphibians, including the occasional saltwater crocodile. The island is protected in the Great Sandy National Parks.
