7 natural wonders in the world. Despite the fact that the world has been through
some difficult times, such as the COVID 19, floods, soil erosion, winds, fire, and so
on. Tourists have reunited some attractions, but we still have seven natural wonders that
demonstrate that the world is still a place for breathtaking, beautiful places. Some of
these have also been designated as UNESCO Heritage sites, symbolizing how humans and
nature can coexist in this world, such as the world's seven natural wonders. Please

at the seven wonders of the world with us today.
1. Mount Everest. This mountain is located in the Himalayas,
straddling the Nepal-China border. This mountain is the tallest in the world when measured
from sea level. It has an elevation of 29,029 meter and a width of 8,848 meters. Prior to
the launch of the trigonometric survey by the British in 18 02, the Andes mountain range
was thought to contain the highest mountain in the world. Mount Everest, however, is now
the tallest of all. This mountain claimed the lives of many people in 2018 who died
while attempting to summit it. British mountaineers made the first recorded attempts to reach
Everest's summit. Because foreigners were not permitted to enter Nepal at the time,
the British made several attempts on the north ridge route from the Tibetan side. After the
British first reached 7,000 meters (22,970 feet) on the North Col in 19 21, the 19 22
expedition pushed the north ridge route up to 8,320 meters (27,300 feet), marking the
first time a human had climbed above 8,000 meter.
2. Harbor of Rio de janeiro In terms of water volume, this is the world's
largest bay. It's also known as Guanabara Bay, and it's surrounded by stunning granite
monoliths. The Atlantic Ocean's erosion formed this bay. Rio de Janeiro means "January River,"
and it was named by a Portuguese explorer named Gaspar de Lemos on his journey to South
America in January 15 02. The region's most famous mountains are the Sugar Loaf Mountain
and the Corcovado Peak. As the top submerged hills, over 130 islands dot the Bay. The enchanting
granite rock on the shore, named Po de Açcar Sugarloaf by the Portuguese, rises 1,299 feet,
while the tallest mountain in the range, the Corcovado, the Hunchback, rises 2,300 feet.
The Christ Monument, the city's symbol, stands atop Corcovado. In addition, the Catholic
Circle of Rio collected donations and signatures to support the erection of this massive statue,
which was completed in 19 31 and stands 130 feet tall, has a 98-foot arms span, and weighs
635 tons.
3. Great Barrier reef. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest
living structure, supporting incredible biodiversity and home to nearly 10% of the world's fish
species. Because of coral bleaching caused by ocean acidification, this is the world's
most threatened ecosystem. This reef is also known as one of the most diverse and complex
natural systems on the planet. This location's life support system includes 1,625 species
of fish, over 3000 species of mollusks, 630 species of starfish and sea urchins, and 14
species of sea snakes, many of which are endangered. This reef's waters have been fished and hunted
by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for over 400 years. According to history,
Captain Cook is credited with being the first European to sail the Great Barrier Reef.
4. Victoria fall It is one of the most impressive and beautiful
waterfalls on the planet, located on the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe. This Victoria Falls
is considered the largest in terms of height and width, implying that it has the world's
highest concentration of water that falls over the ridge. Thrill seekers have been known
to sneak to the edge of the fall and sit in what we jokingly referred to as the devil
pool. This devil pool is a small rocky dip with a light current that allows visitors
to get up close and personal with the edge.
5. Paricutin volcano. This volcano is located about 200 miles west
of Mexico City. After a fissure opened in a farmer's cornfield in 19 48, the volcano
erupted repeatedly over the next several years. A corn-shaped cinder volcano grew when much
of this lava fell back to earth near the main vent. The wind also played a role, carrying
a deadly veil of ash and dust, and this vas lava forced the evacuation of five communities.
It is now 12,664 feet tall and a wonder to volcanologists.
6. Grand Canyon. This is one of the most beautiful places in
the United States. This Grand Canyon was formed over a million years by the Colorado River
slowly wearing down the rock, displaying an impressive geological history of the land
through different layers of sediment. Today, this canyon is one of the most popular and
visited tourist destinations in the United States. Visitors can also go on helicopter
tours, hiking, white water rafting, and a variety of other exciting activities in the
area. This canyon stretches for 277 miles and is 18 kilometers wide at its widest point.
The steep-walled canyon is at least 400 feet deep along its entire length and drops to
600 feet at its deepest point. Mountain lions, Gila monsters, mule deer, Rocky Mountains
elk, gray fox, and other wildlife call this area home.
7. Aurora Borealis This location is commonly referred to as Northern
Light. It was formed as a result of powerful solar winds bouncing off the earth's atmosphere.
Canada, Iceland, the Scandinavian countries, and parts of Russia are among the countries
that have these spectacular light displays. Vibrant lights, typically in green and pink,
sweep and stretch across the skies above Earth's magnetic north and south poles, like a heavenly
dance of colorful swirling scarves. The dazzling Aurora Borealis is best seen from the Northern
Hemisphere and is caused by gaseous particles in our planet's atmosphere colliding with
charged particles from the sun. These are the world's amazing and natural
seven wonders. These locations are breathtakingly beautiful and mind-blowing. Take a trip to
these locations and marvel at the world's mysteries and wonders. Please remember to
