Caspian Sea – 371,000 km2 (143,000 sq mi). The Caspian Sea is often regarded as the largest lake in the world, but it contains an oceanic basin rather than being entirely over continental crust.

It has no outflows and is bounded by Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan The Caspian Sea – the largest lake in the world 2. Lake Superior – 82,414 km2 (31,820 sq mi).

Surprisingly, not a single European stadium made the list, and I only mentioned Camp Nou in Barcelona as the 11th largest in the world. So I think it’s now time for a list of the largest European stadiums, some of which were already mentioned as the best locations to watch a football match in the continent. 1. Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain – 99,354 spectators. The Camp Nou is the largest stadium in the continent. It’s a football stadium, home to F.C Barcelona. Despite its name, Camp Nou (Catalan for New Field) is not that new: it opened in 1957, expanded in 1982, and most recently renovated in 2008. The stadium is definitely one of the most famous stadiums in the world, and If you’re in Barcelona, one of the best attractions in the city is watching a football match of F.C Barcelona in their home stadium Largest Stadiums In Europe:

The volcanoes below are considered especially dangerous due to latest eruptions or due to being included in the Decade Volcanoes list. The Decade Volcanoes list is a list of 16 volcanoes worldwide identified by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI) as being worthy of particular study in light of their history of large, destructive eruptions and proximity to populated areas. 1. Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland – Icelandic for “Island mountain glacier”, this volcano is one of the smaller ice caps of Iceland . The ice cap covers the caldera of a volcano with a summit elevation of 1,666 meters (5,466 ft). The 2010 eruption caused enormous disruption to air travel across western and northern Europe. About 20 countries closed their airspace to commercial jet traffic and it affected more than 100,000 travelers Eyjafjallajokull eruption of 2010. Hundreds of flights were cancelled 2. Mount Vesuvius, Italy – Located just 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples, making it the most densely populated volcanic region in the entire world.

They form over many years, often centuries. Glaciers form only on land and should not be confused with icebergs which are huge bodies of ice that float on water. Glaciers and icebergs together hold most of Earth’s fresh waters. Here’s a list of the most amazing and famous glaciers in the world: 1. Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina – Located 48 miles from the town of El Calafate. The Perito Moreno Glacier is a huge tourists attraction, most of which arrive to El Calafate to the soul purpose of visiting this Glacier. The tourists can view the glacier from a small boat on Lake Argentino, or from three viewing areas on land. Lucky visitors witness huge chunks of ice breaking from the glacier and plummeting into Lake Argentino.

Antelope Canyon, Arizona – Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the Southwest America. It was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic ‘flowing’ shapes in the rock.
