1. Antelope Canyon, USA
Antelope Canyon is the most-visited and
most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is located
on Navajo land near Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two
separate, photogenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as
Upper Antelope Canyon or The Crack; and Lower Antelope Canyon or The
Corkscrew. The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní,
which means “the place where water runs through rocks.” Lower Antelope
Canyon is Hazdistazí, or “spiral rock arches.”
Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of
Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due
to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon
season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections,
picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over
time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and
smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic ‘flowing’
shapes in the rock.[1]
2. The Phi Phi Islands, Thailand
The Phi Phi Islands are located in Thailand, between the large island of Phuket and the western Andaman Sea coast of the mainland. [13] Classic beaches, stunning rock formations, and vivid turquoise waters teeming with colourful marine life – it’s paradise perfected. [14]
3. Santorini, Greece
Santorini is perhaps the most
fascinating and most talked about island of Greece in the Aegean. Only
the name of the island is enough to unfold in mind pleasurable
connotations, volcanic landscape, gray and red beaches, dazzling white
houses, terraces with panoramic sea views , stunning sunsets, wild fun.
All this, together with remnants of lost civilizations discovered in the
volcanic ash justify the epithets with which visitors identify
Santorini and fairly is called, magical, indescribable, astonishing. [3]
4. Maldive Islands
The Maldives lies in two rows of atolls
in the Indian Ocean, just across the equator. The country is made up of
1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls, spread
over 90,000 square kilometers. These atolls structures are formed upon a
sharp ridge rising from the ocean, making way for their secluded
uniqueness.
Maldives has deep blue seas, turquoise
reefs, white sandy beaches and palm trees. It is also a place full of
character, where its people have long spent their days languishing in
the very essence of idyll living. While it is the perfect place to sit
on a beach and watch a sunset with a cocktail balanced on your hand, it
is also a geographical marvel, knowing that there are thousands of fish
swimming around the vivid corals just a few feet away from where you
sit. [4]
5. Machu Picchu, Peru
Machu Picchu stands 2,430 m above
sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an
extraordinarily beautiful setting. It was probably the most amazing
urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls,
terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the
continuous rock escarpments. The natural setting, on the eastern slopes
of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity
of flora and fauna. [5]
The Incas started building the “estate”
around AD 1400, but abandoned it as an official site for the Inca rulers
a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known
locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to
international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham.
[6]
6. The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China, one of the
greatest wonders of the world, was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO
in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down
across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching
approximately 8,851.8 kilometers (5,500 miles) from east to west of
China. With a history of more than 2000 years, some of the sections are
now in ruins or have disappeared. However, it is still one of the most
appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural
grandeur and historical significance. [7]
7. Iceland
Fire and Ice offers a stunning portrait
of this island of extremes, where some of Europe’s biggest glaciers cozy
up to some of the continent’s hottest volcanic springs. [8]
Every season has its own unique charm and there are always
opportunities to experience new things, discover beauty and be
mesmerized by the freshness and colours of nature. [9]
8. Bora Bora Island
Bamboos for: kenyai , jsmoral , Pierre Lesage
Bora Bora emerged from the waters 3
millions years ago. Like all the other Polynesian islands, this volcanic
island slowly sinking in the ocean. It currently presents particular
geological characteristics ranging in between a high island and an atoll
status. Island has unforgettable turquoise lagoon – where a multi-color
aquatic fauna (sting & manta rays, sharks, tropical fishes) can be
observed by outrigger canoe, boat or diving explorations. The coral reef
includes a string of islets and gorgeous white sand beaches surrounding
the main island. [10]
9. The Wave, Arizona, USA
The Wave is a sandstone rock formation
located in the United States of America near the Arizona and Utah border
on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes, in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion
Cliffs Wilderness, on the Colorado Plateau. Nearly 200 million years
ago, this region was a sandy desert where huge dunes migrated across the
landscape pushed by seasonal winds. Prevailing winds of that ancient
Jurassic time can be determined by examining the cross-bedding (layers)
in the sandstone. What we see today are some of the original crossbedded
dunes shaped into dramatic landforms and exposed by erosion from eons
of runoff. The spectacular ribbons of various colors called Liesegang
Bands, were formed by movement and precipitation of oxidizing materials
such as iron and manganese by ground water[1]. Thin veins or fins of
calcite cut across the sandstone, adding another dimension to the
landscape. [11]
10. Petra, Jordan
Petra, the world wonder, is without a
doubt Jordan’s most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction.
It is a vast, unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the
Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2000
years ago, turning it into an important junction for the silk, spice and
other trade routes that linked China, India and southern Arabia with
Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome. [12]
11. The Cave of Crystals, Naica Mine, Mexico
The Naica Mine of the Mexican state of Chihuahua is a working mine that is best known for its extraordinary selenite crystals. The Cave of Crystals (Cueva de los Cristales) is a cave approximately 1,000 feet (300 m) below the surface in the limestone host rock of the mine. The chamber contains giant selenite crystals, some of the largest natural crystals ever found.T he selenite crystals were formed by hydrothermal fluids emanating from the magma chambers below. [2]
12. Moraine Lake, Canada
Moraine Lake is a glacially-fed lake in
Banff National Park, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) outside the Village of Lake
Louise, Alberta, Canada. The lake does not reach its crest until mid to
late June. When it is full, it reflects a distinct shade of blue. The
color is due to the refraction of light off the rock flour deposited in
the lake on a continual basis. [15]
13. Grand Canyon, USA
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon
carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of
Arizona. A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms
our senses through its immense size; 277 river miles (446km) long, up
to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep. [16]
Nearly two billion years of the Earth’s geological history have been
exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels
through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was
uplifted. [17]
14. Berry Head Arch, Canada
This magnificent sea arch is located on
the Spurwink Trail, along the East Coast Trail. To get to the arch, find
the East Coast Trail trailhead at Port Kirwan. From here, it is about a
4.75-mile one way hike to the arch. The hike is moderate but extreme
caution is required at points where the trail skirts the edge of some
rather high cliffs.[18]
15. Monument Valley, USA
Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ
Ndzisgaii, meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado
Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest
reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor.[19]
Monument Valley provides perhaps the most enduring and definitive
images of the American West. The isolated red mesas and buttes
surrounded by empty, sandy desert have been filmed and photographed
countless times over the years for movies, adverts and holiday
brochures. Because of this, the area may seem quite familiar, even on a
first visit, but it is soon evident that the natural colors really are
as bright and deep as those in all the pictures. The valley is not a
valley in the conventional sense, but rather a wide flat, sometimes
desolate landscape, interrupted by the crumbling formations rising
hundreds of feet into the air, the last remnants of the sandstone layers
that once covered the entire region. [20]
16. Plitvice, Croatia
The stunning Plitvice Lakes National
Park lies in the Lika region of Croatia. The park is surrounded by the
mountains Plješevica, Mala Kapela, and Medveđak, which are part of the
Dinaric Alps. The 16 blue-green Plitvice Lakes, which are separated by
natural dams of travertine, are situated on the Plitvice plateau. [21]
The lakes are renowned for their distinctive colors, ranging from azure
to green, grey or blue. The colors change constantly depending on the
quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of
sunlight. [22]
17. Preikestolen, Norway
Preikestolen or Prekestolen, also known
by the English translations of Preacher’s Pulpit or Pulpit Rock, and by
the old local name Hyvlatonnå (“the carpenter-plane’s blade”), is a
massive cliff 604 metres (1982 feet) above Lysefjorden, opposite the
Kjerag plateau, in Forsand, Ryfylke, Norway. The top of the cliff is
approximately 25 by 25 metres (82 by 82 feet) square, almost flat, and
is a famous tourist attraction in Norway. [23]
18. Pamukkale, Turkey
Pamukkale, meaning “cotton castle” in
Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey.
The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate
minerals left by the flowing water. [24]
It is Turkey’s foremost mineral-bath spa because of its natural beauty:
hot calcium-laden waters spring from the earth and cascade over a
cliff. As they cool they form dramatic travertines of hard, brilliantly
white calcium that form pools. [25]
19. Socotra Island, Yemen
Socotra is one of the most isolated
landforms on Earth of continental origin. Socotra is considered the
jewel of biodiversity in the Arabian Sea. The long geological isolation
of the Socotra archipelago and its fierce heat and drought have combined
to create a unique and spectacular flora. Botanical field surveys led
by the Centre for Middle Eastern Plants indicate that 307 out of the 825
(37%) plant species on Socotra are endemic, i.e., they are found
nowhere else on Earth. [26]
20. Carerra Lake
Shared by Argentina and Chile the
deepest lake in South America is famous for its trout and salmon
fishing. The waters of General Carrera Lake are beautiful, a glittering
combination of emerald, turquoise, aquamarine and azure. The marble
protrusions stretch along a beachside and are around 300 meters in
length. The waters of the lake have slowly impacted upon the marble and,
in their infinite patience, have created something of enormous, almost
bewildering beauty. The rock manifests different tones which are
dependent upon the natural impurities within the marble. Although the
white banks, of immense purity are predominant blue and pink marble
banks can also be seen due to the presence of other minerals within the
rock.
