The oddity, explained
Why is Ijen UNESCO Global Geopark unusual?

The source describes it as Visit Parangireng Beach to explore pillow lava formations and fossilized foraminifera, unique geological features that reveal the region’s volcanic and marine history.Discover the Bondowoso Coffee site, where coffee plantations coexist with diverse flora and fauna, including rare butterflies like Papilio memnon and Papilio polytes, and shade plants like Suren Toona sureni, and Cinnamomum zeylanicum. Heritage Atlas treats that specific classification-and-description combination as the oddity; the score is a comparative discovery signal, not proof of mystery or the supernatural.
