About this episode
Nature is full of surprises, and some of them are really strange! One of the coolest is the Qiantang River in China, where you can see the world’s largest tidal bore—huge waves that rush up the river like a wall of water. Then there's the phenomenon of “fire rainbows,” which look like rainbow flames in the sky but are actually caused by sunlight hitting ice crystals in clouds. Ever heard of blood falls? That’s when red-colored water pours out of a glacier in Antarctica! There’s also bioluminescent beaches, where the water glows at night due to tiny glowing organisms. Nature sure knows how to create some jaw-dropping sights!
