The Great Dune of Pyla, France

All we know that Europe has no deserts, sand dunes at best only mediocre. But this assumption is wrong. Europe has a unique dune Pyla ie, the length of 3 km, width of 500 m and a height of 100 meters.This very steep dunes many overlook the forest.
This place is famous for being the place of paragliding activity. Besides the uniqueness of the dunes, which is also amazing is that the surrounding land scape from a height we could see the sea and forest. Because the dunes are much higher than the forest, so that from the dunes we could see everything. oke zone

83-42, Greenland


Strange and unique. But 83-42 is believed to be the only area of land in the north. It's just 'a piece' size is about 35 mx 15 m high and 4 m. When viewed from above, like just a speck of land surrounded by shards of ice shards. Unique! When the north pole is covered by ice,but the ground is not covered. oke zon
  

Mount Roraima, Venezuela,

Brazil and Guyan Mount Roraima is a beautiful wonderful place. The rock is shaped like a hood unique because the table was in the clouds.Height of 400 meters. The only way to reach the peak of the roof of the table is a ladder by climbing lane that was already provided by the government of Venezuela.
Another way that is not recommended is the usual rock climbers. There,the rain fell almost every day, wash away the ivy plants on the roof. As a result, the roof of the mountain to be unique, because it is clean of any  as 'bare table'. oke zone
