Step into the strange, the uncanny, the breathtaking—and prepare to have your imagination spooked. These six landscapes look like they’ve crawled straight out of a horror film, yet they’re chillingly real. Let’s take a tour of nature’s most unsettling showpieces.
Picture a waterfall on ice, but dripping bright red—like the glacier is bleeding. That’s Blood Falls in Taylor Valley.
