Who would like to spend their weekend soaking in this hot spring located deep in the mountains of Idaho?๐ฒ๐ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ Idaho has the most usable hot springs in the USA, with about 130 soakable out of 340. Geothermal water is hot because it is heated from within the Earth's crust, forcing it up to the surface where pools are developed or form naturally near the outflow. Ninety percent of Idaho's 340 hot springs are the result of leftover energy heating water near fault lines. This energy is essentially leftover from a 17 million year old meteorite collision that occurred in present day southeast Oregon. The collision dramatically altered the once lush, forested environment into the high desert landscape that is familiar to us today. โ ๐ #DiscoverUSA โ ๐ธ Photo by @brendinkelly

Is swimming with sharks on your bucket list? ๐ฆ Nurse sharks are kind of like Bahamian catfish in the shape of a predator. Bottom feeders, nurse sharks mostly appear to sit down on the bottom of the shallows and suck sediment and little critters from the sand. If you are underwater near them, you can hear them squeal a high-pitched sound. They are mostly friendly to humans. โ Please be aware that they can, and will bite, if they feel menaced. In July 2018, a 19-year-old model was attacked (without major consequences) while taking pictures with them. โ ๐ #DiscoverFrenchPolynesia โ ๐ธ Video by @hbgoodie

โ๏ธ๐ด๐พโจ Snow Seeker What happens when you throw up boiling hot tea into the air when itโs below freezing? Magic thatโs what. Because the water in the air is super energetic, it freezes instantly and dances in the light creating this super cool effect. Easy to see why everyone loves doing this when it gets cold outside. We couldnโt decide on what frame we loved best, so we posted a couple of our favorite angles of this interesting phenomenon. Let us know what angle is your favorite ? (caution: Weather should be below -20C) โ ๐ #DiscoverFinland โ ๐ธ and caption by @karl_shakur
