World's Most Beautiful Glacier Waterfall in Svalbard Norway

There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing a tons of melted ice cascading into sea. Svalbard is the most striking place on earth, where the arctic cold formed an exclusive flora and fauna, and massive glaciers and crystal waterfalls attract anyone who is able to visit it. Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic, constituting the northernmost part of Norway as well as of Europe. It is situated about 400 miles north of mainland Europe, midway between mainland Norway and the North Pole. In spite of being so close to the North Pole, Svalbard is comparatively warm, thanks to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream, which makes it habitable. In fact, Svalbard is the northernmost everlastingly inhabited region on the planet.

The stunning islands cover a total area of 62,050 square KM, approximately 60% of which is covered by glacier with many outlet glaciers terminating in the sea. A few of these glaciers have small waterfalls formed from melting snow and ice. Most of Svalbard is barren rock but during the short summer, the melting snow in the milder parts of the islands give place to vast stretches of tundra vegetation, sometimes dotted with delicate flowers. Svalbard which “means cold coasts” is home to 7 national parks and 23 nature reserves cover 2/3 of the archipelago, protecting the largely untouched, yet frail, environment.

Svalbard is a breeding ground for a lot of seabirds, and also features polar bears, short legged reindeer, polar foxes, whales, seals and walruses. Svalbard is renowned for its variety of birds, including Arctic Terns, Arctic Fulmar and Puffins. Whales can be spotted off the coastlines particularly during late summer. Humpback whales, Orcas, Beluga Whales, and Narwhals all frequent the ocean waters near Svalbard?

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg United States

This is not a typo error, or didn’t jumping fingers on the keyboards, in reality it is a actual name of a lake which is situated in the town of Webster in Massachusetts, United States, few people call it by its alternate name “Lake Chaubunagungamaug” while many of them prefer to call it simply Lake Webster, after the name of the town.

The 45-letter name actually one of longest place name in the world & United States. The place name is so bizarre that although the authorities couldn’t spell it. Many road signs pointing to Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg have spelling mistakes in them.

The lake has been known, from early times, by a variety of names such as Chaubanagogum, Chabanaguncamogue,  and Chaubunagungamaug, but historians believes that all these names stand the same meaning - "Fishing Place at the Boundary". This great pond, actually divided by narrow channels into three larger bodies of water, was famous throughout the area and was the central gathering place for the Nipmuc Indians and their friends.

The current name came from when English colonist arrived in the area, an Englishman Samuel Slater started operating a mill at the nearby village of Manchaug, a corrupted version of “Monuhchogoks”. The Indians began calling the lake Chargoggaggoggmanchoggagogg which meant "Englishmen at Manchaug." And soon after, the name found its way into the map of 1795 showed the town of Dudley.

In 1831, both Dudley and Oxford, which adjoined the lake, given the pond as Chargoggagoggmanchoggagogg, but a survey of the lake had done in 1830 lists the name as Chaubunagungamaugg, the ancient name. After that someone is decided to added the original Indian descriptive name Chaubunagungamaug to the newer name Chargoggagoggmanchoggagogg, and the entire designation becomes "Englishmen at Manchaug at the Fishing Place at the Boundary" or Chargoggagoggmanchauggagogg chaubunagungamaugg.

The Lake actually was formed by the retreat of glaciers during the last ice age and is replenished from underwater springs and streams. Anyway visiting the vicinity is a great way to spend some time with nature. A hiking trail called the Walkabout Trail in the area with some great views. Many tourists often enjoy the swamps around the edges of the lake as good spots to look for wildlife. Moreover; swimming and boating are very popular activities on the lake. If you're looking for something a little more thrilling, there is whitewater rafting on the Quinebaug River. Go in the springtime for the fastest water.

The greatest resort period in the Lake's history most likely occurred from 1895 to 1930 when a fleet of boats was in operation each summer to take thousands of passengers to the cool spots where picnics, clambakes, bowling, dancing, swimming and canoeing flourished.
