There's a forest that floats on water

The Danakil Depression's Lava Lakes Forest, located in Ethiopia, appears to defy gravity. This unusual forest is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including the majestic giant's club moss. Despite being surrounded by water, the forest's roots have adapted to absorb oxygen from the air, allowing it to thrive in this unique environment. Scientists estimate that this phenomenon has been occurring for over 100 years, with some areas of the forest remaining submerged for up to 6 months at a time.
