10. Blue Holes

Typically circular, blue holes are created by underwater sinkholes and are totally not secret gateways to another dimension consisting of nothing but cupcakes and brownies. These holes appear deep blue because the color blue isn’t as readily absorbed in the water as other colors of the light spectrum.
