    This thread is for discussion and posting images of what you think is a truly amazing natural wonder. Don't just post tons of images though please without giving atleast an explanation of what makes this unique.

    Ofcourse all natural wonders are unique in their own rights and amazing to say the least, a blade of grass is amazing in it's own special way yes.

    This thread is to mainly focus on record breaking wonders in a sense, for example posting an image of mount everest explaining is height and peak to be the worlds highest above sea level would be counted as a "Valid Entry".



    Please do not post Images of People or Animals though that is the only strict rule.



    Peace.

    As this was the example I gave in the OP I thought it fitting to be the first actual Entry.

    Mount Everest the Worlds highest Summit,

    Estimated to have been formed 60 million years ago, standing at over 29 thousand ft,

    Interesting side fact, The Chinese once sent a 410 man team to climb this mountain.


    Peace.

    I changed them, I'm sorry that I didn't think you would mind the animals but since you did I removed them.

    I think the most amazing part of nature is the water cycle. As I kid I remember being worried that we'd run out of fresh water and only have salt water left, as fresh water always finds its way back to the ocean. It's just amazing to realize the complexity of the water cycle and how it works.

    No pics but give it up for Mariana trench. I hear it's greatest place on earth but only two men have ever been there so guess we have to take their word for it. The trench is not like some dumb mountain that gets conquered year after year!
