The Diamond Beech

-

 Ice 


Otsu, the second largest island in Japan's archipelago, is covered in beautiful diamonds every winter thanks to Mother Nature's amazing ability.



Actually, this beach is formed by pieces of ice...


Now let's see how the ice cubes become like beautiful diamonds..


Located at the northern tip of Japan, Hokkaido feels very intense.


The Tokachi River, which flows into the Pacific Ocean near Otsu Beach, freezes completely at this time when the atmosphere is about twenty degrees below zero.


The frozen water near the mouth of the estuary is moved by the waves, forming ice floes and joining the ocean.



The "diamonds" thus created are washed away by the waves and deposited to shape the beach.


Our fixtures are like ice cubes. These ice cubes are extremely transparent.


Tourists flock to the beach in the morning despite the cold to see the beautiful sight created when the sunlight reflects off them.


So if you're going to see this ice diamond, go to Otsu Beach around six o'clock...

Do you know about mercury?

  Mercury is a metal found in the Earth's crust. It is one of the rarest metals in the world. Because of its rarity, it is very expensive. Usually 1 kilo is around 50 US Dollars. Mercury is very dense and heavy at 13.5 g/mL (usually something like a heavy iron plow floats when placed in a container filled with mercury). There is 1Kg of mercury in this small kippi below. Mercury begins to be absorbed into the skin within moments of contact with human skin. In that way, mercury enters the human brain and other systems (this event is called mercury poisoning). If mercury fumes enter the lungs, the condition is even worse. In case of mercury poisoning, first there is a headache with dizziness. With continued exposure to more mercury, ingestion of mercury particles can cause long-term speech and expression difficulties. Also, long-term inhalation of mercury fumes can cause death.

White Sand National desert

 White Sand National Park  The blue sky is surrounded by  clouds above the wonderful white sand horizon that stretches to infinity. It is a majestic mountain range that stretches across the horizon where the white land meets the blue sky. Exposed to the intense sun, the shining Valuka plateau is undulating and devoid of vegetation. No living being can be seen. If the blue sky is not mentioned, it can be doubted whether the above is a description of the surface of the moon. No, this is the Maheshakya Shweta Valuka desert found on the earth we live on. It was the place where the world's first atomic weapon was used to destroy the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. This magnificent plot of land is located in the Tularowsa Basin in the state of New Mexico, United States of America. Although the sand in other deserts is made up of silica, the sand in the White Waluka desert is made up of a mineral called gypsum (Calcium sulfate). Chalk sticks that you and I know well a...
