Located in the Philippines, there are over 1,200 "Chocolate Hills," geological features that get their name from the brown color they turn during dry season. They are rather unique in appearance, and when you see them from the viewing deck, it seems like they never end. The creation of these hills has baffled many geologists who are unsure of how they formed.
