The 10 most beautiful natural wonders of the world
Great Barrier Reef
The world's largest reef, the Great Barrier, located in Queensland, Australia, is a natural wonder on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The reef is home to over a million marine creatures, and its colorful, vibrant display provides an excellent opportunity for underwater photography.
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls, located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the largest waterfalls in the world and is considered among the most magnificent natural wonders of the world. With its width of 1.7 kilometers and height of 128 meters, the fog and rainbow around it create a fascinating view.
Himalayan Mountains
The Himalaya Mountains, the world's largest and highest mountain range, are located in the heart of Asia. The highest of the 14 peaks above 8 thousand meters is the famous Mount Everest with a height of 8,848 meters. The glaciers of the Himalayan Mountain chain, which passes through Pakistan, India, China, Nepal and Bhutan, also feed 9 rivers and 1.3 billion people benefit from these waterways.
Aurora Borealis
This natural radiation, also known as the Northern Lights, occurs through the interaction between the earth and the sun. The colors and shapes of Aurora Borealis, a very rare and impressive natural phenomenon, turn the sky into a work of art.
Tunnel of Love
The Tunnel of Love in Ukraine is a natural structure formed around train tracks. As the trains pass, the trees come together at the top, creating a romantic atmosphere for those passing through the tunnel. The length of the Tunnel of Love is approximately 3 kilometers and it is beautiful in every season.
Zhangye National Geopark
This natural wonder located in China resembles a huge work of marbling art with its sandstone shapes, colors and wavy appearance, thought to have been formed over millions of years. Zhangye, which was converted into a national park in 2011, is one of the most popular destinations in Chinese tourism.
Flying Geyser
This colorful geyser, located in the US state of Nevada, is still quite impressive, although it was formed by an accident. This unique natural wonder was formed when workers reached geothermal energy resources on the bottom of a dried lake, drilled the resource underground and the minerals rose, creating this unique natural form.
Ta Prohm Temple
Ta Prohm Temple, also known as the “Temple Devoured by Nature” or the “Tomb Raider Temple”, was built in Cambodia in the 13th century. The Temple, which was used by Buddhist priests when it was a part of Angkor, the capital of the Khmer Empire, was surrounded by giant tree roots after it was abandoned and has become one of the special points where nature proves its power today.
Hell Gate
Hell's Gate, located in Turkmenistan, is a huge well with a diameter of up to 70 meters. The well, which was found by chance by Russian geologists while examining natural gas resources in 1971, has been burning since the day scientists burned it to prevent methane gas from harming the environment.
Travertines of Pamukkale
Pamukkale Travertines in Denizli have one of the most beautiful natural views in the world. As a result of a formation that started thousands of years ago, travertines give the feeling of walking on clouds with their white pools.
