The New 7 Wonders of Nature

The Top 7 always attempts to bring you the best lists of 7 from around the world.

Recently, we were planning something really BIG.  We thought about doing a worldwide poll to determine what were the Top 7 Wonders of the World.  We planned on starting a 7 year campaign lead by former UNESCO staff and architects to collect over 100,000,000 votes from the public on what we would name the New 7 Wonders of the World.

But, just before our big launch, we discovered that the World of New 7 Wonders did just that in 2007.   I encourage you to check out their list.

The N7W is currently finalizing their latest project.  This last weekend, the New 7 Wonders posted their provisional list of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

Wow, what a list!  I must, however, point out the glaring omission of the Bay of Fundy in Newfoundland, Canada.  But, this list is not a list that was put together by Jeff or Kent, but a list generated by a world-wide poll.  Please remember, that the N7W advises that this list is provisional with the final results being announced in 2012.

It is a great honour to give you the New 7 Wonders’ list of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in alphabetical order.

1.  Amazon – The largest rainforest AND the largest river. 

2.  Halong Bay – This Vietnam paradise has islands that are hollow. 

3.  Iguaza Falls – These dazzelling waterfalls extend over 2,700 meters.

4.  Jeju Island – A stunning volcanic South Korean Island

5.  Komodo – Komodo National Park in Indonesia is a refuge for the Komodo Dragon.

6.  Puerto Princesa Underground River – You can float down this 8.2 km underground river in the Phillipines.
