Laguna De Cotacotani
Photographer: Alex Mimo
Where: Lauca National Park, Chile
South America might not be known for its economic strength, but it does have some incredible landscapes, regardless of whether you’re in Colombia, Brazil, Argentina or elsewhere. Chile is often underrated, and as Alex Mimo’s drone photo of Lauca National Park suggests, there are spectacular scenes to be experienced no matter when you decide to visit the region. The park is found in the Andean range, borders Bolivia, and consists of multiple gigantic volcanoes.

Mir Mine – Siberia
Where: Mir Mine, Siberian Tundra
Details: In 1955, a team of Soviet geologists discovered some interesting diamond deposits and to date, the Mir Mine is the largest excavated mine in the world.
The mir mine in the Siberian region of Eastern Russia might never have been called a “gigantic toilet” for its many uses, but thanks to this drone pic it’s clear that it might be confused for one from above. It runs a staggering 1700 feet deep, and is renowned as one of the biggest excavated holes on the planet. The area was first introduced as a diamond mine back in the mid 1950’s, so it’s safe to say that it is anything but the one thing it might be easy to compare it with.
