Have you ever seen something or someplace in nature and thought that it looked otherworldly? Sometimes nature’s beauty can be some of the strangest, and in Minnesota there are multiple places that could easily fit in on another planet. Between the skill of these photographers and the strange beauty of the MN scenery, here are 10 places in MN that’ll have you swearing you’re in outer space.
- Lake Superior in this shot is a vivid blue that blends into the surrounding sky. It’s hard to see where the water ends and the air begins.

- Ice almost always looks spectacular and weird at the same time, and this is no different.

- The North Shore looks like it is a sea of clouds and mist with rocks floating above the surface. This would make the most beautiful planet.

Niagara Cave walls are wonderfully weird and abstract looking.
The moon on Superior and the reflectiveness of this water give an amazing effect to this photo.

- Swamps are one of the creepiest and strangest looking land features around, and the massive fog makes this one so much more alien-looking.
