Africa, the Zanzibar archipelago consists of the main islands Pemba and
Unguja along with many smaller islands. Unguja, the larger island, is
commonly referred to as Zanzibar. Gorgeous sandy beaches featuring
coral reefs and crystal clear waters line the perimeter shorelines,
whilst forests occupy the inland.

miles. Situated in the province of Aklan, the islands most popular
tourist locations are White Beach and Bulabog Beach; found on opposite
sides of the island.
Cook Islands
The Cook Islands consist of 15 small islands, primarily formed by
volcanic activity, in the South Pacific Ocean that cover a land area of
92.7 square miles. The islands are self-governed through a
parliamentary government-type system with a free association with New
Zealand. Residents of the island are considered New Zealand citizens.
The official languages of the Cook Islands are English and Cook Island
Maori.
Big Island, Hawaii, USA
The Big Island, the largest of the Hawaiian Islands, covers an area of
4,028 square miles with its highest point at Mauna Kea. At an elevation
of 13,796 feet, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world when
measuring from the sea floor base to peak.
Tahiti
Located in the southern Pacific Ocean, Tahiti is the largest island in
the archipelago of the Society Islands. Tahiti spans 403.5 square miles
and has a peak elevation of 7,352 feet at Mou'a 'Orohena, an extinct
volcano on the island. Formerly known as Otaheite, the island was
created from volcanic activity.
Fiji
Fiji is a Melanesian island in the South Pacific, about 2000 kilometers
northeast of New Zealand. The Republic of Fiji consists of more than 500
islands and islets, of which 110 are inhabited. The culture of Fiji is a
mosaic of Indian, Chinese, Polynesian and European influences. It is
thought that the Polynesian Diaspora that first colonized the Pacific
island began from here. Fiji captures the popular romantic notion of
idyllic and unspoiled South Pacific island paradises.
Bali, Indonesia
Bali is a famous Indonesian island located in western Indonesia just a
few miles east of Java. Bali covers approximately 5600 square
kilometers, with a mountainous interior of lush forests and clear lakes
that complement the gorgeous beaches, which ring the island. Bali is
known for its distinctive and unique culture that is a meld of Chinese,
Indian and Hindu influences. It has been a popular tourist destination
since the 1930s when the island's culture was romanticized through the
writings of anthropologist Margaret Mead.
Ko Lipe, Thailand
Ko Lipe is a tiny island about 70 kilometers southwest of Thailand in
the Andaman Sea near the Malaysian border. The island is within the
Tarutao National Marine Park and is known for its pristine beaches,
unspoiled landscapes and laid-back atmosphere. It is a premier scuba
diving and snorkeling destination as 25 percent of the world's tropical
fish species can be found in its coral reefs. Ko Lipe can only be
accessed by boat or ferry from nearby islands.
Maldives
The Maldive Islands are a chain of coral atolls in the Indian Ocean that
lie some 400 kilometers off the southwest coast of India. The islands
are formed from a double-chain of 26 coral atolls consisting of 1192
islands spread out over 90,000 square kilometers. The Republic of
Maldives is the lowest country in the world with an average height of
only 1.5 meters (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, giving rise to fears of
inundation through sea level changes wrought by climate change.
Seychelles
The 115 islands of the Seychelles lie 1,500 kilometers east of mainland
Africa off the coasts of Kenya and Tanzania. The archipelago consists of
granite islands, coral islands and coral cays stretching across a
3,000-kilometer arc to the north and east. One of the most remote places
on earth, the Seychelles remained uninhabited until the 1740s and the
islands are now a world leader in the concept of sustainable tourism.
Gullfoss, Iceland
Gullfoss is a tiered waterfall, with a total height of 105 feet (32m).
Born from the Hvita River, the crevice is hidden from sight at close
range, making it appear as though the river simply vanishes into the
earth. There’s a famous story about a girl who walked barefoot from
Reykjavic to Gullfoss in order to protest the use of the falls for the
purpose of generating hydroelectric energy. She is said to have kept the
falls safe from inference, and as such, a statue has been erected in
her honor near the falls.
Plitvice Waterfalls, Croatia
The Plitvice Waterfalls are a collection of tiered lakes and waterfalls,
stretching throughout Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia.
Considered to be one of the world's greatest natural wonders, Plitvice
Lakes National Park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
Covering an area of 296 sq km, it is the oldest national park in
Southeast Europe, having been founded in 1949. Over 1.2 million visits
are recorded each year, making the park one of Croatia's largest tourist
attractions.
Yosemite Falls, USA
Yosemite Falls is a three-tiered, 2425 ft waterfall, situated in Yosemite
National Park, California. If the three tiers are considered as a
whole, Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in North America and the
fifth highest in the world. The three tiers include the Upper Fall
(1430ft), middle cascades (675ft) and the lower fall (320ft). The
waterfall is fed almost entirely by snowmelt, which can lead to the
water becoming little more than a trickle, or even stopping, at certain
times in the year.
Kaieteur Falls, Guyana
Kaieteur Falls is a high volume, plunge waterfall situated in Guyana
within Kaieteur National Park. At a height of 741ft (226m), has the
‘largest single drop’ for a waterfall, in the world. It is five times
higher than Niagara Falls, and twice as tall as Victoria Falls. In the
Amerindian language, Kaieteur means ‘old-man-fall’, reportedly due to an
old man who was pushed over the falls on a boat by his relatives.
Huangguoshu Falls, China
Huangguoshu Waterfall, situated in the province of Anshun, is one of the
largest waterfalls in China, at 255ft (77.8m) high. It’s name,
‘Huangguoshu’, literally translates to ‘yellow fruit tree’. Known as
the Huangguoshu Waterfall National Park, Chinas Tourism board have
classified the park at the highest possible level.
Dettifoss, Iceland
Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe, falls 148 ft (45m)
into Iceland’s largest canyon, the Jokulsargljufur Canyon. Situated on
the Jokulsa a Fjollum river, which flows from the Vatnajokull glacier,
Dettifoss lies within the Vatnajokull National Park. In terms of volume
discharge, it is the largest waterfall in Europe. The famous composer,
Jon Leifs, wrote his work 'Dettifoss' after being inspired by the
waterfal1.
Angel Falls, Venezuela
Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall, has a total recorded height
of 3212ft (979m). It’s longest drop falls a total of 2648ft (807m) down
the side of the Auyantepui Mountain. The name, ‘Angel Falls’, is taken
from Jimmie Angel, an aviator who flew over the mountain in 1933. The
falls are also known as Kerepakupai Vená, in the Pemon language, which
means ‘waterfall of the deepest place’. Angel Falls is part of the
Canaima National Park in Venezuela, a UNESCO World Heritage site,
designated in 1994.
Niagara Falls, USA & Canada
Niagara Falls is situated on the US and Canadian border, separating New
York State from the province of Ontario. It consists of three distinct
waterfalls; Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, which
collectively boast the highest water flow rate on the globe.
Incredibly, six million cubic feet of water flows over Niagara Falls
every minute of every day. Niagara Falls undoubtedly offers one of the
most spectacular views in North America.
Iguazu Falls, Argentina & Brazil
Declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1984, Iguazu Falls is
situated on the border of the southern region of Brazil and the
Argentine province of Misiones, and is often revered as the world’s most
spectacular waterfall. Iguazu Falls spans 2.7km (1.7m) in width, and
features 275 individual waterfalls, with heights ranging from 60-82m.
The name ‘Iguazu’ can be loosely translated from the indigenous Guarani
language as “big water”. Unsurprisingly, former first lady, Eleanor
Roosevelt, reportedly exclaimed “Poor Niagara” upon seeing Iguazu Falls
for the first time. Iguazu Falls, with its 275 waterfalls, impressive
width/depth, and diverse tropical climate, is undoubtedly one of the
most spectacular treasures of our natural world.
Victoria Falls, Zambia & Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls, situated on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, is
perhaps the most famous waterfall in the world. Originating from the
Zambezi River, the Victoria Falls has the largest continuous sheet of
falling water in the world. In 1989, the Falls were declared as a UNESCO
World Heritage site. Victoria Falls is sometimes referred to by its
indigenous name, ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’, which means ‘The Smoke that Thunders’.

Thar Desert, India/Pakistan
Taklamakan Desert, China
The Taklamaklan Desert, also known as the “Place of Ruins” or the “Sea
of Death”, is the largest desert in China, at over 1000km (620mi) long
and 400km (250mi) wide. Lying between the Tien Shan and Kunlun mountain
ranges, the Taklamakan Desert is a waterless death trap. Legend states
that you can get into to the Taklamakan, but you will never get out.
Mojave Desert, USA
The Mojave is an arid desert, spanning 124,000 sq km (47,877 sq mi).
Primarily situated in California, it also occupies parts of Arizona,
Utah and Nevada. The primary native inhabitants of the area were the
Mojave, though the Paiutes and the Chemehueves were also present.
Today, the majority of the Mojave Desert is sparsely populated, though
it is located between two of the most popular and conventional tourist
cities in the world, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Gobi Desert, Mongolia/China
The Gobi Desert spans portions of both Northern China and Southern
Mongolia, covering a total area of 1.29 million square kilometers (0.5
million square miles). A cold desert; Gobi has one of the world’s most
extreme climates, featuring rapid temperature changes, both seasonally
and daily. Summer months bring temperatures of up to 122°F (50°C)
whilst in the winter months, temperatures can drop to below -40°F (-40
°C). Rainfall is limited to approximately seven inches annually.
Atacama Desert, Chile
The Atacama Desert, covering a total area of 105,000 sq km (40,541 sq
mi), stretches 1000km (600mi) from southern Peru into northern Chile.
Said to be the driest place on Earth, it receives almost no rainfall
whatsoever. In fact, certain parts of the desert may not experience
rainfall for hundreds of years. As a result of these harsh conditions,
particularly in the lower Atacama Desert, plant and animal life is
almost non-existent. The northern coastal areas, however, do receive a
little more rainfall, and as a result, are less arid.
Death Valley, USA
Death Valley is a desert valley situated within the Mojave Desert. Aptly
named due to its harsh conditions, it is the lowest, hottest and driest
place in the United States. The lowest point is 282ft (82m) below sea
level, and the highest temperature ever recorded was 56.7 degrees
Celcius in 1913. Interestingly, Mount Whitney, the highest point in the
United States, is only 84 miles to the East.
Namib Desert, Namibia/Angola
Covering an area of 81,000 km sq (31,274 sq mi), the Namib is a coastal
desert, situated along the southwestern coast of the African continent.
Stretching over 2000km (1200mi), the Namib crosses Angola, Namibia and
South Africa. Characterized by its red sand dunes, that can reach
heights of up to 1200ft (365m) or more, the Namib Desert is considered
to be particularly old, even by geological standards.
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Salar de Uyuni is the worlds largest salt flat, spanning 10,582 km2 (4086 m2) in southwestern Bolivia. The Salar de Uyuni is an incredible landscape, unlike any other desert, featuring vast expanses of glistening white salt. Underneath the cemented salt are large reservoirs of lithium-rich brine. In fact, the area is home to 70% of the world’s lithium reserves.
Wadi Rum, Jordan
The Wadi Rum consists of 278 square miles (720 square kilometres) of
desert wilderness. Commonly called ‘The Valley of the Moon’, Wadi Rum
refers to the protected southern Jordan valley that cuts through
variable coloured granite and sandstone mountains. The valley sand
varies in colour from light tan to brick red.
Valley terrain also differs throughout the area, appearing either as
flat and wide or as deep, narrow crevices between rock formations.
Sahara Desert, North Africa
The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, spanning over 3.6
million square miles and running through several countries in Northern
Africa including Egypt, Morocco, Niger, Chad, Mauritania, Western
Sahara, Sudan, Mali, Algeria and Tunisia. It’s name, ‘Sahara’, is
derived from the Arabic word for ‘desert’. The hottest temperature ever
was recorded in the Sahara Desert - an astonishing 58 degrees Celcius.
The vast majority of the Sahara is a large expanse of sand, though some
mountain ranges and grasslands are present, sparse though they may be.
Castle Mountain, Canada
Castle Mountain was named as such due to its castle-like or fortress
appearance. Situated in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies,
with a peak of 9075ft (2766m), the mountain is widely photographed and a
favorite of local artists. In addition to the peak, the massif
contains multiple high points such as Stuart Knob (2,850 m (9,350 ft))
and Helena Ridge (2,862 m (9,390 ft)).
Mount Assiniboine, Canada
Mount Assiniboine, at 11,870ft (3618m), is the tallest mountain in the
southern region of the Canadian Rockies. The distinctive pyramidal
shape has led to it being referred to as the ‘Matterhorn of North
America’. Visible for many miles in every direction, the mountain soars
well above other nearby peaks. The mountain serves as the focal point
of Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, a 386 sq km reserve that was
created in 1922.
Alpamayo, Peru
The ice-clad Alpamayo Peak (5947m) is part of the Cordillera Blanca
mountain range in the Peruvian Andes. It’s a steep mountain, famous for
its almost perfect pyramidal structure and beautiful top cone.
Remotely located, the ascent should only be attempted by experienced
mountaineers with proper climbing equipment.
Mount Kenya, Kenya
At 17,057ft (5199m), Mount Kenya is the tallest mountain in Kenya and
the second highest in Africa. An extinct volcano, created
approximately 3 million years ago, also known as the ‘Place of Light’.
Situated just north of the equator, in central Kenya, the mountain is
part of the Mount Kenya National Park, which was designated a UNESCO
World Heritage site in 1997. Upon seeing this majestic mountain, it is
not hard to understand why the local people believe that their God
resides at its peak.
Eiger, Switzerland
The Eiger forms part of the Bernese Alps mountain range in Switzerland.
At 13,025ft (3970m), the mountain is a challenging ascent, and should
only be attempted by experienced mountaineers. The north face, in
particular, is known to be a very dangerous climb. This is evident by
the statistic that, since 1935, at least 64 climbers have died
attempting it.
K2, Pakistan
K2 is the second highest mountain in the world, with a peak of 28,251ft
(8611m). Situated on the border of Pakistan and China, it is commonly
known as the ‘Savage Mountain’ due to its difficult ascent and high
fatality rate. The first successful ascent was by an Italian expedition
in 1954, though not every climb has been as successful. In fact, a
quarter of those attempting to climb K2 have died.
Laila Peak, Pakistan
Laila Peak is a 20,000ft (6096m) high mountain, part of the Karakoram
mountain range in Pakistan. Well known for it’s beautiful, distinctive
spear-like shape, Laila Peak has only been climbed a few times.
Dhaulagiri, Nepal
Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest mountain in the world, is situated in
Nepal and forms part of the Dhaulagiri mountain range. Its name is
derived from Sanskrit, where it means ‘white beautiful mountain’. First
ascended in 1960 by a Swiss-Austrian team, the mountain has since been
successfully climbed hundreds of times.
Mount Cook, New zealand
Mount Cook is the tallest mountain in New Zealand, rising 12,316ft
(3754m). It is situated in the Southern Alps mountain range, which
spans the entire length of the South Island. The mountain is known as
Ao-raki to the Maori, which means ‘cloud piercer’. Consistently covered
in snow and ice, Mount Cook provides a stark contrast to the turquoise
waters of lakes Pukaki and Tekapo, which lie beneath its eastern flank.
The Matterhorn, Switzerland
The Matterhorn is an iconic Swiss mountain that stands proudly at a
height of 14,960 ft (4478m). Whilst not the tallest of the Swiss
Pennine peaks, it’s dramatic, pyramidal shape has led to it being the
subject of more photographs and paintings than any other natural land
formation in the world. The biggest vertical drop is approximately
7,200 feet (2195 meters).
jeita grotto, Lebanon
Jeita Grotto, the longest cave in the Middle East, is situated
approximately 11 miles (18km) north of Beirut. It consists of two
separate, but interconnected, limestone caves, and boasts a length of
5.6 miles (9km). One of the worlds most amazing agglomerations of
stalactites and stalagmites, Jeita Grotto is widely considered to be the
pride of Lebanon, and featured as a finalist in the New 7 Wonders of
Nature competition.
Mulu Caves,Malaysia
The Mulu Caves lie deep in the jungles of Borneo, sprawling for miles
below Sarawak’s Gunung Mulu National Park. The sea carved the deep
gorges and complex cave networks of the caves limestone system.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, the Mulu Caves are
considered to include some of the planet’s largest known underground
caverns and passages. Notable caves are Benarat Cavern, Clearwater Cave,
Wind Cave, and Sarawak Chamber, considered the largest known natural
cavern in the world.
Puerto Princesa Underground River, Philippines
Situated on the coast of Palaway, about 364 miles (585 kilometers) off
the coast of Manila, Puerto Princesa Underground River has recently been
designated as one of the Seven New Wonders of Nature. With five miles
(8.2 kilometers) of navigable waters, it is considered the longest
navigable underground river in the world. Visitors taking a paddle boat
tour of the cave will see massive caverns, a huge cave dome, unusual
rock formations and the legions of swiftlets and bats that inhabit the
caves. Lion’s Cave, Daylight Hole and Kawili Cave are popular with
explorers.
Eisriesenwelt Cave, Austria
Meaning “World of the Ice Giants”, the Eisriesenwelt is a vast limestone
and ice cave located inside Hochkogel Mountain in the Austrian Alps.
The Eisriesenwelt sprawls more than 26 miles (42 kilometers) through the
Tenneggebirge section of the Alps, though only the first half-mile is
sheathed in ice. The caves were sculpted by the Salzach River, and its
massive ice formations are formed by thawing snow draining into the cave
and freezing into natural ice sculptures. Some of the cave’s highlights
include the giant stalagmite in Posselt Hall, the Great Ice Embankment,
the soaring stalactites of Hymir’s Castle and the stunning Ice Place,
located 1300 feet (400 meters) underground.
Skocjan Caves, Slovenia
One of the most important cave systems in the world, Slovenia's Skocjan
Cave system was added to UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.
Entering the caves at the foot of a steep gorge below the village of
Skocjan, the Reka River runs underground for 21 miles (34 kilometers)
through the massive underground canyons, gorges and caverns, surfacing
at Monfalcone to join the Timavo River. This underground channel is over
460 feet (140 meters) high, expanding at points into enormous
underground chambers, including Martel’s Chamber, the largest discovered
underground cavern in Europe.
Reed Flute Cave, China
Reed Flute Cave is a natural limestone cave in the Guangxi province of
China. The cave's name is derived from a variety of a naturally abundant
reed that grows throughout the area, which can be used to make flutes.
Reed Flute Cave boasts bodies of water, extraordinary stalagmite and
stalactite formations, and a number of ink inscriptions dating back to
the 8th century. The amount of rock formations, as well as their
variance of shape and color, has led to the cave being deemed “The
Palace of Natural Arts.”
Majlis Al Jinn Cave, Oman
Majlis al Jinn, which translates to “Meeting Place of the Spirits”, is
one of the world's ten largest cave chambers. It is situated in Oman,
southeast of Muscat, and is notable for its isolated and relatively
inaccessible location. The only entrances to Majlis al Jinn are small
openings formed by rainwater erosion atop the remote Selma Plateau,
which forms the peak of the cave’s magnificent freestanding domed roof.
The sheer size of the chamber, when contrasted with its unassuming
exterior, renders it a unique natural wonder.

Cave of the Crystals, Mexico
The Cave of the Crystals is a natural marvel in Chihuahua, Mexico. Its
main chamber houses some of the largest natural crystals ever
discovered, hence the name of the cave. The crystals are composed of
selenite, and have formed due to the cave's position over a pool of
magma, which saturated the groundwater with minerals. The magma makes
the cave unbearably hot after a period, and for this reason it is
largely unexplored. Nevertheless it is unquestionably one of the world's
most remarkable displays of natural mineral formations.
Waitomo Caves, New Zealand
The Waitomo Caves are located on New Zealand's North Island. The name is
derived from the Maori language, and roughly translates to "water
passing through a hole". Some caves are extremely accessible, while
others may receive only minimal traffic. The caves are natural limestone
formations that are over 2 million years old and feature wonderful
stalagmite and stalactite formations. However, they are best known for
their abundance of glow-worms, a type of insect unique to New Zealand.
Thousands of them inhabit certain caverns in the Waitomo system, and
their luminescence provides for a beautifully illuminated experience in
the Waitomo Caves.
Carlsbad Caverns
Carlsbad Caverns is a series of natural limestone caves located in
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, in the Guadalupe Mountains of New
Mexico. The most notable chamber is the “Big Room”, a cavern 4,000 ft
long and 225 ft high, at its highest point. The Big Room holds some of
the Caverns’ most impressive formations, although there are a multitude
of other chambers that feature a variety of natural marvels. The Caverns
are rich with speleothem formations, fossils, underground pools, and
hundreds of thousands of bats, which emerge in a dazzling nightly
ritual.
