The Silfra fissure, located within Iceland's Thingvellir
National Park, is one of the only places in the world where
visitors can swim between two continents. Not only is it home to
some of the world's clearest waters, but in some instances, the
spaces are so narrow that swimmers can actually touch the
continental plates of both North America and Europe.
In the 1600s, Isola Bella was transformed from what was once a
barren rock in the middle of Lake Maggiore, Italy, to a blossoming
garden and palace. Besides the palace, the area is also known for
its stunning baroque gardens.
Malta's Popeye Village was originally created as a film set for
the 1980 film "Popeye" before being repurposed into a theme park.
The set was created using tree trunks brought in from Holland and
around 2,000 gallons of paint. Today, visitors can enjoy boat
rides, a winery, and water trampolines.
