The 7 Natural Wonders of the World
by Anne
I posted an earlier list on the New 7 Wonders of the World, but AMYxJADE pointed out that there are other Wonders lists too, so many in fact. But one of the lists she mentioned was the Natural wonders. So here it is. This is the list for the 7 Wonders of the Natural World compiled by CNN. There are other lists out there and they differ from each other slightly.
Grand Canyon
Great Barrier Reef
Mount Everest
Aurora (The Northern Lights)
Victoria Falls
Paricutin
Harbour of Rio de Janeiro
I've only seen the Grand Canyon and the Harbour of Rio de Janeiro and have 5 to go.
But the New7Wonders of Nature is a recent effort to create a list of seven natural wonders that will be chosen through a poll from people around the globe. They want to give the people a chance to vote for the new list. This effort is being organized by New Open World Corporation (NOWC), which also coordinated the New Seven Wonders of the World campaign. If you have a favorite place, you can help vote to help make that place go into the new 7 Natural Wonders list.
Have you seen any of these 7 Natural Wonders? Would you travel to see them?

- About Me: Age: 27, Location: New York, NY Favorite places I've visited: Trick question! I've been to so many amazing places, but if I absolutely had to pick, I'd settle on a couple places to shorten the list. Madrid, Spain because that's where I did my study abroad program when I was 18 and it was there that the travel bug bit me so hard it left a scar. I haven't been the same since. And Vietnam. That's where my family is from. Although, I'm Vietnamese American, I never actually visited Vietnam until I was 26. It was an awesome experience to learn about my family's history and I was quite pleased to show off my vietnamese language skills to the locals. It's quite a big deal for an american-born.

Oh, shoot. Better hit up the Great Barrier Reef before it disappears from human pollution. Luckily since I saw Christ the Redeemer, I got to see Harbour of Rio de Janeiro. Grand Canyon was awesome too. I'll past on Mount Everest, I don't want to die so young climbing that beast.
Oh my, they're absolutely beautiful! Thanks for posting pictures!
@AMYxJADE@xanga - Niagara Falls actually falls in the Seven Forgotten Natural Wonders of the World. You can find it here:
