2.Grand Canyon
Vast, magnificent and inarguably beautiful, the Grand Canyon is easily Arizona’s most distinguishable landmark – and a natural wonder that you simply have to see to believe. Stretching 277 miles from end to end, steep, rocky walls descend more than a mile to the canyon’s floor, where the wild Colorado River traces a swift course southwest.

- The Grear Canyon creates its own wearher -It's not the deepest Canyon in the world
-There's a town in Grand Canyon -We don't really know how old it is
3.Antelope Canyon
Antelope is the most visited slot canyon in the Southwest, partly because it is easily accessible and by far the most publicized, and also since it is extremely beautiful, with just the right combination of depth, width, length, rock color and ambient light; many other slot canyons are deeper, narrower or longer, and some have rock that is even more colorful and sculptured, but here conditions are ideal.
-The mysterious and beautiful Antelope Canyon is one of the most spectacular slot canyons in the world.
-Antelope Canyon got its name from the pronghorn antelopes that once grazed in the area.-The distance between Antelope Canyon’s walls range from 1-3 metres (3.2 to 9.8 feet) wide and run up to 50 metres (6.5 to 164 feet) deep, and the Upper Canyon sits 1219 metres (4000 feet) above sea level and the walls are 36.5 metres (120 feet) tall.
4.Bora Bora
Turquoise lagoons, soft white sands, and deep tangerine sunsets set the scene for romance on the island so nice they named it twice. Mingle with tropical fish as you flutter around Coral Gardens or Tupitipiti Point, or relax in a self-driving tour as you take in beautiful views of the once-volcanic Mount Otemanu. At the Lagoonarium you can watch shark feedings and swim with turtles. Cap it all off with a succulent meal at one of the island’s fine French restaurants, then sip a tropical cockteilunder the stars.
-The Island is nestled on the waters about 230 kilometers (143 miles) northwest of Papeete. It is surrounded by a lagoon and a
barrier reef.-Half of the population of Bora Bora is below 20 years. Expect to see many beautiful people enjoying the sun on the beaches.
-Bora Bora is one of the most secluded islands on the planet. To demonstrate this, sample this; the Island of Hawaii gets more visitors in 10 days than the whole of French Polynesia gets in a whole year.
5.Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is the site of an ancient Inca city, high in the Andes of Peru. Located at 2,430m (8,000 ft), this UNESCO World Heritage site is often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas". It's one of the most familiar symbols of the Incan Empire and also one of the most famous and spectacular sets of ruins in the world. A visit to Peru would not be complete without seeing it, but this can be very expensive and crowded.
-One of the Seven Wonders of the World.-No wheels were used to transport heavy rocks for the construction of the city.
-In the Quechua native language, “Machu Picchu” means “Old Peak” or “Old Mountain.”
-Machu Picchu is also known as the Lost City of the Incas. It is a mysterious wonder. A city of stone built without the aid of wheels or iron tools. This is the best example of Inca engineering. More than 600 terraces prevent the city from sliding down the mountain. A water supply system extends over a length of about 1 km.
6.Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest sights in the world — the longest wall in the world, an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. Its winding path over rugged country and steep mountains takes in some great scenery.
-The official length is 21,196.18 km (13,170.7 mi)

-The Great Wall of China cannot be seen from space by the human eye without aid.
7.Great Pyramid Of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is a defining symbol of Egypt and the last of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World. It is located on the Giza plateau near the modern city of Cairo and was built over a twenty-year period during the reign of the king Khufu ( also known as Cheops) of the 4th Dynasty. Until the Eiffel Tower was completed in Paris, France in 1889 CE, the Great Pyramid was the tallest structure made by human hands in the world; a record it held for over 3,000 years and one unlikely to be .broken
-The pyramid is estimated to have around 2,300,000 stone blocks that weigh from 2 to 30 tons each and there are even some blocks
that weigh over 50 tons.
-The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of all Seven Wonders of the World.
-There has been no writing or hieroglyphics found inside the Great Pyramid of Giza.
-This pyramid is the only one to have been built with concave sides. This means that all four side curve in slightly.
-If we tried to build an exact replica of this pyramid it would not be possible. We do not have the precise technology that the ancient Egyptians had that was necessary to build this pyramid.
8.Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is a geological wonder and one of the most famous waterfalls in the world. Straddling the border between the United States and Canada, it has been a popular tourist attraction for over 200years, as well as a major source of hydroelectric power.
-Niagara Falls is actually three separate waterfalls. -The Niagara Falls state park is the country's oldest
9.Moraine Lake
One of the purest and most beautiful lakes in the world is located in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. Moraine Lake, which features turquoise water and a mountainous surrounding, is hidden in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. While many people will visit Moraine Lake to fish, hike, or stay at the Moraine Lake Lodge, there are other options as well.One of the most popular Moraine Lake activities, and one that has been going strong for over a century, is canoeing. If you choose to canoe on Moraine Lake, be sure to allow at least one hour for your trip. 1.5 hours would be ideal, as this would give you enough time to visit and experience everything the lake has to offer. If you would prefer to see Moraine Lake by air, this is also a possibility. There are helicopter tours available. And if you don’t like heights and have no interest in doing your own paddling, a gondola ride is alwayoffer.
-Moraine Lake displays a beautiful blue hue when it is at full capacity, due to ‘rock flour’ or ‘glacial flour’, tiny particles of rock,in the lake refracting light.
-Moraine Lake is the home of wildlife such as grizzly bears, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots and pikas (small rabbit-like mammals).
10.Marble Caves
The incredible underground caves made entirely of marble are among the most beautiful and spectacular caves on our planet.They have been formed by flowing water over 6,000 years and are one of nature’s greatest miracles. Their beautiful color is due to a reflection of the lake’s azure waters.The General Carrera Lake spans the Chile-Argentina border, and it’s one of the ten deepest lakes in the world with a maximum depth of 586 meters. The lake was discovered by the Argentinian geographer Carlos Moyano during an exploration journey in 1880. He was the one who gave the lake the name Buenos Aires. In Chile in 1959, coinciding with a new political and administrative division of the Aysen province, the lake was given the name of General Carrera, to honor one of the main heroes of the country’s independence. The Marble Caves are hidden from view from the coast and they are located approximately in the middle of the lake on the Chilean side.
-The marble stone of the Marble Caves is rich in calcium carbonate, making up approximately 94% of the formation
-The marble colour of the Marble Caves ranges from white to grey to blue, and also includes the odd pink tint.
-The Marble Caves were formed by water and weather erosion over a span of thousands of years. Pictures website url:https://wall.alphacoders.com/
