Слайд 1

Слайд 2

Door to Hell, Turkmenistan. Almost 50 years ago, the collapse of a natural gas field formed a 30-metre-deep crater that began leaking flammable methane. Geologists set it on fire as a way of controlling it, and it has been burning ever since. Picture yourself in the middle of a desert, staring into a flaming abyss about the size of a football field. That's the Door to Hell, and it attracts plenty of thrill-seeking travellers .

Слайд 3

Nazca, Peru. No one is quite sure what motivated the Nazca people of central Peru to scratch out, over a period of about a thousand years, a series of huge and perfectly rendered pictures in the rocky desert floor. Whatever the reason, their drawings of monkeys, birds, fish, and even a ghostly human shape, can still be seen from the air. Taking a light plane ride over the Nazca Lines gives visitors the chance to fully appreciate the complexity and otherworldliness of these 2000-year-old marks.

Слайд 4

Slab City, US. For those who seek true freedom – freedom from rental payments, freedom from restrictions, freedom from society – Slab City is the answer. This caravan-dwelling settlement of retirees, hippies, drifters and oddballs in the Californian desert is off the grid, and off the planet. While there are tourist attractions at this former army base – from the brightly painted Salvation Mountain (pictured) to the East Jesus art installation – the main lure is simply to witness life away from the world.

Слайд 5

Skeleton Coast, Namibia. There is a creepy feeling as you drive down Namibia's Skeleton Coast, as the waves crash and the fog rolls in on one side, and the featureless desert stretches out to eternity on the other. You can see why so many ships met a tragic end here. There is a surprising amount of life in this harsh environment. Colonies of seals occupy Cape Fria and Cape Cross, while desert elephants roam the interior. One of the eeriest shipwrecks is the Eduard Bohlen (pictured), which lies half buried in sand at Conception Bay.

Слайд 6

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. If you have ever wanted to study kinesiology, meditation, holistic healing, or lucid dreaming in while surrounded by one of the most naturally beautiful locations in the world, then San Marcos La Laguna on Lake Atitlan is the place for you. There is more to Lake Atitlan than Westerners on yoga retreats. This is also the home of Maximon , a local deity worshipped for his love of rum and cigars, whose wooden effigy can be found in a local home.

Слайд 7

BONE CHURCH, CZECH REPUBLIC. There are more than 40,000 human skeletons in Sedlec Ossuary, or the "Bone Church", in Kutna Hora . Those skeletons have been utilised used as art works, with bone chandeliers, candelabras, and pyramids on display.

Слайд 8

Lake Khovsgol , Mongolia. In summer this is just any old lake, albeit a beautiful one. In winter, however, it's an enormous block of ice upon which games including tug of war, wrestling, and horse-drawn sleigh races are staged. This is also home of to the Dukha people, an ancient tribe of reindeer herders. The natural beauty of the Khovsgol area is reason enough to visit, but this is also home to a unique culture that is all but cut off from the rest of the world.

Слайд 9

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. You want strange? How about an iguana that swims in the ocean and snorts salt out of its nose? Or a cormorant that has shed its wings through evolution? Or a giant tortoise? Or a whole swag of animals that have no fear of humans? They're all in the Galapagos. All of these strange animals and the volcanic archipelago that they inhabit make for one of the most amazing tourism experiences around.

Слайд 10

Thames Town, China. It might be just an hour from central Shanghai, but Thames Town couldn't be further from traditional China. This enclave has been designed to look like an English village, with a church, a pub and a fish and chip shop that are exact replicas of their British counterparts. Thames Town is great for the pure discombobulation of walking the cobbled streets of an English village while surrounded by Chinese couples having their wedding photos taken.
