The mysterious rotating island in Argentina

The ‘Eye’ is a mysterious circle of land that floats in the marsh of Argentina. The island constantly rotates in water that is unusual for its region. Its cause has stumped scientists, leaving some to believe the ‘Eye,’ was created by Aliens.

 

What is it?

The ‘Eye’ is a mysterious circular island in Argentina that rotates with no clear cause. It is located in the delta of the Parana River, between Buenos Aires and Campana. The mystery of the ‘Eye,’ is that it is a relatively thin strip of land which is a perfect circle. This circle then miraculously rotates by itself. The circle of land floats and rotates on a pool of cold, icy water, which is unusual for this region.

 

Why does it spin?

Some blame the mystery of the ‘Eye’ on the supernatural, claiming that aliens are behind the phenomenon. However, scientists claim the constant rotation of the circular island around its axis is due to the presence of large natural wells that create streams of water which are capable of moving the island. There is also a claim that since the floating circle collides with the surrounding earth, it is given a push to continue moving.




 

Can you visit?

It is possible to get to the circular island, however it is not a popular destination. There will not be tours that take you there. If you want to go, you will have to find a way to get there on your own, keeping in mind that this mysterious attraction is located in a marsh.
