15+ Times Nature Made Us Scream, “Wow!” 28 –

Nature never ceases to amaze us. Just take an insect that’s been entombed in amber for millions of years, an entire place swallowed in ice, or even a rare atmospheric phenomenon that you will probably see only once in your lifetime, for example. Luckily for us, some people have managed to capture these unusual natural sights and are ready to share their discoveries with the rest of the world.
