So without any further ado, let's dive into this curious journey together.
Our first stop on this voyage of Curiosity take us to a place of legendary proportion,
the giant Cosway.

(00:25):
Giant stepping onto a shore where over 40,000 exagonal bozzled columns, formed by volcanic
activity millions of years ago, stretch out like a pathway to the horizon.
This unique column has park legends and story of giants and titans passing it out, giving
rise to its intrigue in name.
Scientists have marveled at this natural wonder for a century and it's not wonder that

food step of giants at this extraordinary place.
As we continue our journey of Curiosity, let's plung into the depths of Lake Baikal, a

(01:11):
place of incredible natural beauty and mystery.
This remarkable lake in Siberia, Russia is not only the world's deepest freshwater lake,
but it's also home to a unique and fascinating creature, the Rhaikal seal, also known as
the Nerpa.
Imagine the clear, pristine water of Lake Baikal stretching for miles, reaching death
of over 5,000 feet.

(01:32):
It's old up about 20% of the world's unfrozen freshwater, making it an ecological marvel.
But what truly sets Lake Baikal apart is its resident seal population.
Unlike other seals, the Baikal seal is the only freshwater seal species on the planet.
These playful, adorable creatures have adapted to the harsh condition of the lake, with thick

(01:54):

They can stay as a merge for up to 70 minutes hunting fish and enjoying their underwater
world.

Get ready to be amazed as we venture into the mystic realm of the Katakumbur region in Venezuela.
Here nature, buts and aspectakura lies show that we'll leave you in sheer wonder.
Imagine this.
Once every night, the sky over Lake Maracaibo is lit by an astonishing natural phenomenon
known as the Katakumbur lightning.

Discaptivating spectacle features lightning bolts that dance across the night sky with remarkable
frequency.
In fact, this area holds the goodness we record for the highest number of lightning strikes
per square kilometer each year.
It's a phenomenon so reliable that it's earned the nickname "The Everlossing Storm".
But what's the secret behind this extraordinary display?

(03:07):
It's the result of a unique plant of geographical and meteorological factors.
The warm, moist air from Lake Maracaibo meets the cool air descending from the endless mountains
creating the ideal condition for these intense lightning storms.
Local legend and cultures have woven stories around this phenomenon, adding a layer of mystique
to this natural wonder.

soaring above the vast expanse of the southern ocean, really setting foot on land.
