The Rock of Guatape (El Peñón de Guatapé) is a giant rock formation in the municipality of Guatape in Antioguia, Colombia. Interestingly, two third of its height is below the ground and the exposed vertical face itself is over 200 meters high. The huge rock is visible from throughout the surrounding countryside and has become a popular tourist spot in Antioguia. There is a staircase built into one side of the the Rock of Guatape for visitors to scale it. The path includes more than 649 steps to the top that appears like a giant stitch holding the split rock together.
The Rock of Guatape was formed about 70 million years ago along the Antioquia Rock Base. The 10 million ton rock is almost entirely smooth and the top of the rock is fenced. On the flat top of the rock, there are gift shops and food courts along with the open-air viewing platform. Tourists can also enjoy the surrounding scenery while having snacks as food vendors offer outdoor tables overlooking vistas that stretch to the horizon in every direction. The beautiful Guatape Lake is also visible from the top of the giant rock. The Rock of Guatape was first scaled officially on July 1954 by three climbers using sticks embedded in the fissure on the rock. The staircase was built later for the visitors.

Located in the high desert on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, Mono Lake is one of the most amazing lakes in the USA. This incredible lake is a large saline water lake about eight thousand feet above the sea level. Mono Lake is the oldest lake in North America. It was formed at least 700,000 years ago. It is a beautiful lake with magical limestone towers on the surface.
This incredible lake was formed as a terminal lake in a basin that has no outlet to the ocean. The lack of an outlet means water entering the lake from Eastern Sierra streams leaves only through evaporation. This, in turn, results in high concentrations of salts and minerals being left behind in the lake.
The most prominent feature of this lake is its incredible tufa towers emerging from the surface of the lake. The tufa towers are limestone towers and occur naturally in the Mono Lake. These limestone towers form from the reaction when underwater springs (rich in calcium) mix with the waters of the lake (rich in carbonates).

Located in the village of Abhaneri near Jaipur, Chand Baori is one of the most remarkable landmarks in India. Built between the 8th and 9th century by King Chanda of the Nikumbha Dynasty, it is a famous step well. Chand Baori is possibly the largest, deepest and oldest step well in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is also one of the oldest, deepest and largest step wells not only in India but also in the whole world.
Chand Baori is an incredible square structure with 3,500 narrow steps in 13 stories lined along the wall on three sides of the well that extend 100 feet into the ground. The steps are arranged in perfect symmetry and descends to the bottom of the well. Chand Baori is an excellent example of the architectural excellence prevalent in the past in the Indian subcontinent. The step well remained overlooked for years and lost its old glamor in course of time. Recent renovation has turned this old step well into one of the most popular tourist attractions in India.
The state of Rajasthan is extremely arid. King Chanda built Chand Baori to conserve as much water as possible for his subjects. It provided the surrounding areas with a dependable water source for centuries before modern water supply systems were introduced.
Sigiriya Rock Fortress, also known as the Lion Rock, is an amazing archaeological site in the central Matale District in North Central Sri Lanka. The main attraction of the site is a nearly 200-meter high massive column of granite rock. At the summit of the massive rock is a fortified palace built during the 5th century by King Kasyapa. Sigiriya Rock Fortress is one of the most beautiful places in Sri Lanka and has become a popular tourist destination in the country.
King Kasyapa built his palace on the top of the massive granite rock and decorated its sides with colorful frescoes.

The palace is accessible through a stone stairway leading from the base to the top of the rock. There is giant pair of lions paws about half the way to the top and the evidence shows that the lion structure was originally much larger and extended. The royal palace was abandoned after the king's death in 495 and the ruins of various chambers, stairways and pools remain today.
Climbing mountains is not an easy task. There are a number of risk factors involved. The level of danger varies from mountain to mountain. Height is an important factor, but it is not always the main factor that makes a mountain dangerous to climb. For instance, the highest mountain in the world is not the toughest mountain to climb. Some mountains in the world are deadly and nearly impossible to conquer. Many people have died attempting to climb these deadly monsters. Here is our list of 10 most dangerous mountains in the world.
1. Annapurna
The Annapurna is considered as the most dangerous mountain in the world to climb. It recorded the highest fatality-to-summit ratio - a staggering 38%. Most of these deaths were due to avalanches and the ascent via the difficult south face of the mountain.
2. K2
The K2 is among the most dangerous mountains in the world to climb. It has the second-highest fatality rate among the high mountains - about 25%. For this reason, the K2 is known as the Savage Mountain. The Chinese side of the mountain is the most dangerous.
3. Kangchenjunga
Kangchenjunga is the third toughest mountain to climb with a fatality-to-summit ratio of 22%. However, it recorded the highest fatality rate among the highest mountains in recent years (from 1990 and after). The danger is mainly posed by the unpredictable weather, ice, and avalanches.
4. Nanga Parbat
Nanga Parbat is nicknamed as the Man Eater. It has seen death of approximately 5.5% of all the climbers who have attempted it. The danger is posed due to the 15,000 feet high south face, which is the highest mountain face in the world.
5. Eiger
The Eiger is another tough mountain to climb because of the north face of the peak. The north face of the Eiger continues to challenge climbers of all abilities with both its technical difficulties and the heavy rockfall that rakes the face.
6. Baintha Brakk
Baintha Brakk is among the most difficult mountains to climb in the world mainly due to the combination of a steep, craggy granite tower and high altitude. It took 24 years between the first ascent in 1977 and the second ascent in 2001.
7. Mt. Everest
More that 1,500 people have climbed the highest mountain in the world. Still it is among the most dangerous mountains in the world because of the extreme altitude of Everest. Even the extreme weather can make it an undeniably dangerous objective.
8. Mt. Vinson
Mt. Vinson is dangerous to climb because of its isolation, combined with the extreme cold and unpredictable weather of Antarctica. Even a small accident in this extreme weather could be disastrous and fatal for any climbers.
9. Matterhorn
The Matterhorn is one of the most dangerous peaks in the Swiss Alps. The peak is prone to avalanches and rockfalls, making it extremely hazardous. In addition to this threat, the paths get overcrowded in this peak making it one of the fearsome mountains to climb.
10. Mt. McKinley
Mt. McKinley, also known as Denali, is the highest mountain in North America. Though its altitude is only 20,320 feet, the altitude, weather, and extreme temperature of the mountain pose a serious danger for mountaineers who climb it.
