If there were alien trees on an alien planet, would they
look like this? Maybe! But these are right here on Earth...
They’re called baobab trees, and they grow on the island
of Madagascar. They're some of the weirdest on Earth!
This isn’t an alien planet… it’s a place called Red Beach,
China! The ground is covered with a strange plant...
Most plants look green, but these plants are full of
tiny red flowers. It makes the whole beach look red!
Spotted Lake, in western Canada, looks like it could be a
lake on an alien planet. But why does it look spotted?!
Each summer, the salty water in the lake dries up, leaving
behind a “crust” of salt that creates these little pools.
It's not everyday you see something like this! The ground
is covered in sulfur, a bright yellow mineral. But why?!
Sulfur is found near volcanoes! This area is next to Mount
Dallol, a volcano in the country of Ethiopia, in Africa.
When sulfur mixes with hot water, it turns the water
green. So there are pools of green water all around too!
When sulfur burns, it gives off a blue flame. So this
volcano in Indonesia looks like it's erupting blue lava!
