9. 70-year-old ghost ship discovered

10. Green Lake in Austria is a dry park in winter but a 10ft deep lake in the summer. Wow..
The water evaporates during the summer and settles back on the mountains during fall and winter when it snows. Then when spring arrives the snow melts and flows back down the mountain into the park, creating the lake. Also why it's so clear.

11. Abandoned road is now a small river

12. Sinking Castle, abandoned in Lake Garda, Italy.

14. Abandoned house on the middle of a lake

15. Meteora, Greece
This is one of the largest complexes of monasteries in Greece. The highest one, Holy Trinity (Agia Triada) is depicted here. To get there you walk up a long ramplike path and then navigate a series of stone steps cut into the rocks. It is not an easy climb but breath taking when you Reach the top. It was filmed for a scene in the James Bond movie: For Your Eyes Only.

16. The Hotel del Salto, Colombia

Hotel del Salto was built in 1928 for wealthy tourists that wanted to visit the nearby Tequendama Falls. The waterfall became contaminated and tourists lost interest, leaving this amazing look hotel redundant.

17. 102 year old abandoned ship is now a floating forest
The first steel ships were produced in about 1920 so this would be among the first ones built if it is 102 years old. And it is not floating but grounded as indicated by the varying water lines on the side, if it were floating it would only have one line at water level.

18. Sunken yacht in Antartica
Mar Sem Fim (“Endless Sea” in English) is a Brazilian yacht that was shipwrecked, sunk and subsequently got frozen in ice in Maxwell Bay of Ardley Cove, Antarctica, about 1,200 kilometers south of tip of South America, in April 7th, 2012. The yacht that belonged to the famed Brazilian journalist and entrepreneur João Lara Mesquita, was manned by four crews who were filming a documentary off the Antarctic coast when the boat capsized. Strong winds in excess of 100-kilometer per hour had tossed the boat from one side to the other “like a bucking bronco in a rodeo,” according to one crew member.

With their vessel trapped in ice, the crew radioed for help and was received by the Chilean navy in the base in Bahia Fildes, in Antarctica. All four researchers were eventually rescued but bad weather delayed the process by two days.

João Lara Mesquita, who was also in the yacht, wrote in his blog:

“Then, with strong winds and high waves, the boat Frei came to us. Our evacuation was epic. Waves of more than 1.5 meters and winds over 40 knots made the boat jump from one side to another, like a bucking bronco. When it got close, each of us … threw ourselves into the arms of three Chilean crew members. Fortunately all went safely.”

19. Abandoned aquarium in Cleveland, Ohio

20. Abandoned Supersonic TU-144 in a Russian backyard.

The remains of the Pegasus in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.


Pegasus Field is an airstrip in Antarctica, the southernmost of three airfields serving McMurdo Station. The field is named after Pegasus, a C-121 Lockheed Constellation, still visible there in the snow after crashing in bad weather on October 8, 1970. No one on board was injured.
