There's a forest that floats on water

The Danakil Depression in Ethiopia is home to a unique forest, known as the "Floating Forest," where a thick layer of papyrus plants and other vegetation forms a natural raft on top of a shallow lake. The forest's roots help to keep the papyrus afloat, while also stabilizing the surrounding soil. This unusual ecosystem is found in a region with extreme heat and dryness, making it one of the most inhospitable places on Earth for plant life to thrive.
