7 Natural Wonders of the World



   Our planet contains beauty that is far beyond the imagination of man. These types of breathtaking natural occurrences appear everywhere throughout the modern world, but some of them take dominance over  others. There is a list that includes seven of the most magnificent natural phenomenons known to man. A main reason why these tie in so well with the idea of Continents and travel is because they are all located on different continents in opposite corners of the world.    This list (in order) includes:

1.Grand Canyon, Arizona, US
2. Great Barrier Reef, Australia
3.Harbor of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
4.Mount Everest, Nepal
5.Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis
6.Parícutin volcano, Michocán, Mexico 
7. Victoria Falls, Zambezi River, Africa


   It is my dream to one day visit each and every one of these majestic places. These locations live in the dreams of every single human being that has ever dreamt of travel and to experience the world.  Nearly five million people visit the Grand canyon every single year to witness this spectacle.  many do not realize that the great barrier reef can be seen from outer space and generates around 5 billion dollars annually in regards to tourism. The Brazilian harbour of Rio De Janeiro runs almost 20 miles inland and has one of the most amazing panoramic views in the world. On average five people die each year trying to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

      Human beings have recognized the true beauty in these natural monuments.Its obvious that I could spend days upon days of explaining the details of these wonders, but there isn't enough room so I will leave you all in suspense. These destinations all encourage tourism in the areas of the world where they are located. And maybe one day you will visit some, or even all of these places of marvel.

  1. I think it is great that you have chosen to highlight these wonderful places on our planet. Of all the "wonders of the world" lists, this one is by far my favorite, as each item occurs naturally. I would love to be given the chance to visit each one.

    I think the "wonders of the world" lists are great, as each person is able to choose one that is specifically related to their interests. The "7 Ancient Wonders of the World" is another one of my favorites, given my passion for art history. On the other hand, someone is who passionate about modern architecture may be drawn towards the "Modern Wonders of the World" which highlights architectural achievements such as the Panama Canal and the Channel Tunnel.
