Be Enchanted by The Mysterious Chocolate Hills of The Philippines

Panoramic view of the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, Philippines, showcasing their distinctive conical shapes

The chocolate hills of Bohol are a significant tourist attraction in the Philippines. These chocolate mountains were formed naturally on the island of Bohol in the Philippines over millions of years.

From lush green in the rainy season, colors change to chocolate brown as soon as the dry season arrives.

Some 1,700 chocolate mountains extend across 20 square miles, rising as high as 400 feet – these Chocolate Hills of the Philippines never fail to amuse tourists.

What is the story of Chocolate Hills, Bohol?

The said stories of how the hills formed are quite funny, to be honest. Some say that two giants fought by hurling rocks, sand, and boulders at each other. The fight subsided, and they became friends, after fighting in this way for days. They left but forgot to undo the mess they created! This is how the hills came to be.

Another legend with a romantic inclination suggests that a powerful and youthful giant named Arogo once fell in love with Aloya, a simple mortal human being. Aloya somehow died, and Arogo ended up sobbing for days. His tears after drying formed the Chocolate Hills of Philippines.

How were the Chocolate Hills of the Philippines formed then?

The land’s limestone base came to existence from the skeletons of sea life. Geological processes gradually lifted the Bohol’s rock, and now water slowly erodes it.

The thing is that weathering is known to carve out limestone all over the world, but the uniformity of shape is what makes the hills unique. Even geologists have not yet concluded this matter.

"Close-up of the grass-covered Chocolate Hills, resembling giant molehills against a blue sky. — Marvel at the close-up view of the grass-covered Chocolate Hills in Bohol, resembling giant natural sculptures under the blue sky.

To enjoy this stunning view, a certain amount of effort is required from the visitor. There are still 214 steps to climb before you can overlook the wide expanse of the Chocolate Hills on the crest of the highest Chocolate Hill.

The hills are covered with hard grass and low bushes, which turn brown at the end of the dry season. This color and the even shape of the hills gave rise to its name. At other times of the year, however, the hills are green and an association with chocolate only occurs in the minds of visitors. This does not detract from the admiration, on the contrary, many people decide to come back in the dry season to see the Chocolate Hills in their chocolate color.

Final thoughts

Around Bohol, some hills are terraced and others form farmland. It is interesting to note that a similar pattern of islets lies just off the coast of the main island. Will these unique deposits of our earth, which have been formed over millions of years, eventually unite? What do you think?

Aurora Borealis At Kirkjufell – Experience The Most Unique Light Show To Die For

Vivid green and purple hues of the Northern Lights above the distinct shape of Kirkjufell.

How does it feel to hear about people traveling thousands of miles to enjoy light shows? Well, it surely isn’t just an ordinary light show. It is the Earth’s own night sky light show – the polar lights. Previously thought to be made of spirits and souls, the dancing lights sway from green to red to purple to yellow to blue and almost hypnotize the beholders looking into the starry night. Keep reading to know more about this breathtaking phenomenon and where and when to actually see it.

What is the Aurora Borealis?

Auroras are seen at the poles – North and South poles. Why do they occur? Here is how:

Solar Winds consist of streams of energized particles like electrons and protons that flow from the Sun towards the Earth at incredibly high speeds. When these particles enter the Earth’s atmosphere, they interact with gaseous atoms in it and produce these magical dancing lights.

They are seen only around the poles since the appearance of auroras depends upon the manner of interaction between the solar winds and these particles, which in turn depends on the alignment of Earth’s magnetic field at a particular place.

These factors make the poles favorable, and Northern lights (aurora borealis) and Southern lights (aurora australis) are seen.

The color, on the other hand, depends on the interacting element (oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) and the altitude of interaction.
