Magney State Park, on the north shore of Lake Superior is an unusual waterfall that confuses scientists to this day.

Others sit unused for decades and become tragic time capsules.” 2008 Beach Volleyball Stadium — Beijing, China Image credit: David Gray via The Atlantic 2008 Kayaking Venue — Beijing, China.
