From crypts and cemeteries like Palermo’s Capuchin Catacombs to fiery places such as the Door to Hell, a flaming crater in a Turkmenistan desert.
Natural wonders such as Spotted Lake (Kliluk) in Osoyoos, B.C., and man-made marvels like former monk Don Justo’s self-built cathedral in Madrid – in progress since 1961.
Works of land art like Robert Smithson’s 457-metre long Spiral Jetty in Great Salt Lake, Utah, and outsider artist Peter Carmani’s Midlothian Castle, comprised of hundreds of screaming concrete heads outside of Burk’s Falls, Ontario.
Atlas Obscura: An Explorer’s Guide to the World’s Hidden Wonders (Workman Publishing, 2016) by Joshua Foer, Dylan Thuras and Ella Morton, includes these curious attractions and hundreds more across all seven continents.
