10 Bizarre Landscapes on Earth

6. Chocolate Hills, Bohol, Philippines
Chocolate Hills! There are around more than 1,770 perfectly cone-shaped hills located in Bohol. But the sad truth is that these hills aren't actually made of real chocolate, in fact they are made of limestone. These hills get their name because during the rainy season the vegetation dries up exposing the soil and making it look like a sea of chocolate kisses. The formation of these strange hills had made the geologists running around in circle trying to find an explanation.

Legends: There are no less than four legends behind the existence of these hills. One of them is that there were two giants who were fighting with each other with rocks and boulders. They fought for many days, finally they decided to stop the feud and become friends. But after the fight, they forgot to clean up the mess, and the mess remains till date in the form of the hills.
