10 Largest Things In The World
We humans have an obsession with hugeness, after all we believe in ‘bigger the better’,
right?
But if that is not the case for you, check out creatures and things some millions of
years from now.
Yea, things were practically giant back then and your idea about hugeness will change forever
once you set eyes on them.
But going back in time is OBVIOUSLY not possible unless you have the key to the time machine!
Hey chill people, the present day has its own share of giant items and we are set to
take you off to this journey.
So fasten your seat belts but first subscribe to our channel!
Number 10.
Sequoia trees A tree on this list, sounds so boring, right?
Well that’s totally wrong!
When you are the largest living thing on Earth by volume, you deserve a place here!
Growing to a height of 50-85m and 6-8m in diameter, the trees are nothing less than
giants.
So we guess, the name Giant Sequoia is justified!
Occurring in the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, these giant
are among the oldest living things on Earth, imagine 3500 years old!
Isn’t that amazing?
Number 9.
Son Doong Cave As kids we have all been fascinated by caves
but never had we imagined one as large as the Vietnamese cave, Son Doong!
Discovered first in 1991 but not explored till 2009 because its entrance was too steep!
Rappelling 80m to enter a cave is no cake walk, literally!
Once you have the courage to do this, you’ll enter into a different world replete with
lush green jungle, cave pearls and river!
Whoa, could we say nature at its best?
Number 8.
Rafflesia You certainly weren’t expecting a flower
to feature on a list of largest things, were you?
Let’s admit that in comparison to other things, the flower is a dwarf but when you
compare it to its fellow mates you are in for a surprise!
So can you imagine a flower to be 1m in diameter and weighing 24 pounds?
This hugeness makes Rafflesia arnoldii the national flower of Indonesia, so that makes
it the ideal gift for your girlfriend.
In case you are thinking that, forget about it because it is also known for its smell
that resembles of decaying flesh, yikes!
Number 7.
Great Barrier Reef This world heritage site is a treat to watch
in itself!
It might interest you to know that it is the world’s largest reef system.
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world’s biggest single
structure made by living organisms!
Whoa, now that is something!
Stretching over a good 1400 miles with 2900 individual reefs, the system is located in
the Coral Sea of Australia!
Is anyone planning to head there?
Number 6.
Jackfruit For a fruit to be on the list of large things
is definitely laughable!
You were thinking that, weren’t you?
Well guys, it might be pretty small when we talk about hugeness but the world’s largest
fruit deserves a little space here.
Jackfruit has been termed as the biggest tree grown fruit, that’s so amazing!
It grows to about 90cm in length and 50cm in diameter on an average, that’s pretty
big for a fruit!
Let’s shock you a bit, the heaviest jackfruit found weighed about 76 pounds.
Wow!
Number 5.
Salar de Uyuni Hold your breath as we showcase the world’s
largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni!
Stretching to about 4,086 square miles, it is located in Potosi in southwest Bolivia
at an elevation of 3,656m above sea level.
It is also a major breeding ground for flamingos, what lovely visuals that must be!
It contains about 50-70% of world’s known lithium reserves, can you believe that?
Such a huge flat stretch with blue skies overhead makes for the perfect picture moment!
Number 4.
San Alfonso del Mar What is a private resort doing on this list?
We know that’s the question that popped in your mind, see we have turned into mind
readers!
Okay bad joke maybe but the point is that there is something special about this resort
of Chile.
It hosts the world’s largest swimming pool, unbelievable!
The pool has a length of 1013m, contains a whopping 60 million US gallons and gets as
deep as 3.5m!
Where is this huge amount of water coming from?
Well, it is pumped from the Pacific Ocean but don’t worry, it is filtered and treated
first!
Number 3.
Plum Brook Chamber We really are putting crazy stuff on this
list, aren’t we?
So here we are with a chamber, a little room to match the likes of some giant things!
The Plum Brook Chamber in Sandusky, Ohio is the biggest vacuum chamber; you know the little
rooms where they recreate the conditions of space.
Now this one is not like its counterparts at all, after all you don’t expect any other
chamber to be 37m tall with a diameter of 30.48m!
Oh boy, it can fit a whole spacecraft into it and still have room left!
Number 2.
Mock Donkey No people, we aren’t talking about that
animal you load tons on!
We are talking about the world’s largest piñata here.
In the shape of a giant mock donkey, it was smashed during a public event where Carnival
Cruise Lines was shooting a commercial.
This giant measured about 28.5 m in length, 7.2m in width and 18m in height!
But its size is not the only shocking thing here.
This attractive baby was filled with 8,000 pounds of candy and a wrecking ball was used
to smash it.
That must have been a breath taking spectacle!
Number 1.
The Dubai Mall The largest mall in the world by total area,
the Dubai Mall as the name suggests is situated in Dubai.
It is a part of the 20 billion dollar Downtown complex.
We see some faces lighting up!
The mall houses not only 1200 shops but also has an underwater zoo, an aquarium, an ice
rink and a large waterfall.
That is a lot of attraction, someone please take us there!
