in #steemstem6 years ago

hamp Island is one of the most mysterious places in the world due to the gigantic natural stone balls that are located in its soil. A peculiarity that scientists can not decipher to give an explanation .

Since they were first seen, visitors to this landscape called the rocks " soccer balls of the gods ", and for many it was hard for them to believe that they were natural and not created by man .

However, the small town where they are located was never inhabited and scientists are sure that they are not artificial, although they do not know or agree on how they were formed.

The huge stone balls of up to two meters in height are found on the Champ Island, in the central zone of the archipelago of the Land of Franz Joseph, in Russia , on the polar circle.

Until now there are many theories about its creation. Viktor Boyarsky, a Russian polar researcher confessed that: " The spheres are made of soft sand stone ." While Konstantin Zaikov, from the Federal University of the Arctic, said: " Actually they are stones that were formed thousands of years ago by crystallization and subsequent magnetization of grains of sand in the glass "

Practically every geologist seems to have his own hypothesis and apparently it will be a long time until his true origin is discovered. For the moment, the cold island keeps calling tourists and curious people eager to observe the giant balls in their own flesh.
