(2021·鄭州高三畢業(yè)班質(zhì)量檢測)The world is filled with wonders almost too beautiful to seem real. Among them are these islands and bodies of water that are shaped like the symbol of love.
Heart Reef—Queensland, Australia
Located in the Great Barrier Reef of the Whitsundays, Heart Reef is 55 feet in diameter (直徑) and one of nature's best mysteries. The coral formed into the shape of a heart by itself over time and was discovered in 1975 by a pilot. Unfortunately, swimming, snorkelling, and diving are forbidden on the island. The only way to see this lovely view is by plane or helicopter.
Galesnjak Island—Croatia
Referred to as “the Island of Love”， Galesnjak Island's shape was first discovered in the 19th century. Its isolated location in the Pasman channel of the Adriatic offers privacy and silence for those seeking relaxation and romance. The island only consists of wild plants and trees making for a true getaway for those who truly want to feel like part of nature.
Lake Ouler—Wicklow，Ireland
Lake Ouler is located in Wicklow Mountains National Park. You can hike the challenging 33rd highest mountain in Ireland. The lake's creation dates back to the Ice Age, when it was formed by glaciers and now sits on the side of the Tonelagee Mountain. Tonelagee stands at an altitude of 2，680 feet.
St. Paul's Bay—Lindos, Rhodes, Greece
Sitting on the southeast coast of Rhodes, St. Paul's Bay's two beaches are a sunbather's paradise. Both beaches offer sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, cafes, and brilliant views. The clean and warm water is also ideal for those interested in snorkelling and diving. The best time to visit the bay is before 10 a．m., as the beaches tend to become crowded and sunbeds are rare.
