Some of these regions have unique characteristics which can be explained scientifically but others…remain clandestine.
Join the Acta Sancti expedition as it treks through and explores…
1. STONEHENGE
In England, in the county of Wiltshire, there is a curious arrangement of large stones mostly set in a circular or horseshoe pattern. A few of them are arranged in threes with two stones standing upright and one across the top connecting both, forming a kind of a doorway (“Trilathon”). This particular hinging of the stones gives this place its name – Stonehenge. 
Excavations around this prehistoric region have suggested a possible theory that it was a grand cemetery. But it could have held a more sinister significance… The word “hen(c)en" meaning "hang" or "gallows" or "instrument of torture" could indicate that Stonehenge could have been an elaborate ritual sacrificing ground; also because ancient pagan Druidism was associated with the place.
Although early cultures have left written evidence, this civilization chose to leave only two symbols- a dagger and 14 axe heads.
A ‘keep-out’ sign? A warning? Number of sacrifices? Heirarchy? Law? Epitaph? There are as many theories as there are stones at Stonehenge.

Just off the coast of the Horn of Africa and the Arab peninsula, lays an archipelago of four islands and islets. Soqotra or Socotra-named in Sanskrit, owned by Yemen, possesses hundreds of species of flora and fauna that are found nowhere else on Earth.
These species are also believed to be millions of years old. Describing the natural beauty of this region in words in any language will be a waste-so devastatingly strange and other-worldly are some of the plants!

3. CATACOMBS OF PARIS
There exists about 20 feet below the city of Paris the largest mass grave in the world. The ‘Catacombs of Paris’ are a network of tunnels and caves that run for more than 300 kilometers under the hustling city.
The ancient tunnel system ordered by King Phillip-Auguste to fortify the city was already being used to store bodies when cemeteries became congested.
The pressing need for more space prompted city planners to evacuate other city cemeteries and place the skeletons here ultimately reaching the present catacomb population (6 million!)

4. MCMURDO VALLEYS
When thinking of Antarctica, the images coming to mind are snow covered glaciers extending till the horizon, colossal mountain ranges, permafrost, harsh winds, devastating blizzards…basically the sandbox where nature throws a temper tantrum.
Yet right in the middle of this frozen continent, there is an absolutely dry desert consisting of valleys which have no snow, ice or rain!
Named after a captain of H.S.S Terror, these valleys lie west of the McMurdo Sound (Sound - Ice-clogged water region through which large vessels can travel these regions).
The glaciers flow towards the Dry Valleys and as soon they come through the gorge they simply dry up (sublimation). And the following land is barren and devoid of virtually any characteristics of the Tran-Antarctic Range.
Breath-taking and often described as the surface of the moon, the few who have seen are lucky because this land of ice and snow keeps the 4th strangest place a closely guarded secret.
