Mount Roraima, South America: This tabletop mountain is one of the oldest mountains on Earth, dating back two billion years when the land was lifted high above the ground by tectonic activity. The sides of the mountain are sheer vertical cliffs, with several waterfalls, making it nearly impossible to climb.
142 years ago today, Yellowstone became America’s first national park - an idea that would spread worldwide. Old Faithful and the majority of the world’s geysers are preserved here. A mountain wild land, home to grizzly bears, wolves, and herds of bison and elk, the park is the core of one of the last, nearly intact, natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone.

C-47 Dakota Airplane Wreck by Rico Besserdich
C-47 Dakota Airplane was intentionally sunken under the “Karaada Artificial Reefs Project” in order to create a new diving point for the divers. It was used as a debarkation plane by the Turkish Air Force until it was sunken on 1st of July 2008.
Equipped with two propellers, the plane by the effects of storms and currents glided down to its present depth. Meanwhile the broken propeller is being located between the cockpit and the shore.
It is not recommended diving inside of the plane which is 19.5 meters long and has 29 meters wing width, because of the instable structure and a lot of stuff dangling around.
But you can find it at:
