Easter Island; and for divers, spectacular places like the Mariana Trench in
the Pacific. Here is a virtual circumnavigation of the globe, with each
natural wonder, chosen for its grandeur and sheer beauty. Each location is

circumference sandstone elevation that rises out of the flat central
Australian Outback and is believed to be a holy place by Australia’s
Aborigines Bryce Canyon, Utah, a rugged, dramatic national park located
just a few hours’ drive from Salt Lake CityIguazu Falls, an extensive series
of 275 waterfalls on the Brazil-Argentina border, described by one
naturalist as an ocean pouring into an abyss

Personal Review: 1001 Natural Wonders: You Must See Before
You Die (Barrons Educational Series) by Michael Bright
Some of the world's leading explorers lend their contributions and advice to
the extensive travel reference 1001 NATURAL WONDERS YOU MUST
SEE BEFORE YOU DIE, which holds very nearly 1,000 pages packed with
photos and descriptions of such wonders. From Loch Ness in Scotland to
Lake Natron in Tanzania or Daisetsu in Japan, the world's wilderness
places are all under one cover, with extensive descriptions charting why
they stand out. While some of these places pepper other books, no other
coverage is so extensive - or so well laid out, blending modern color
photos with cultural and natural insights. Very highly recommended
indeed; way above any other 'natural wonders' guides, and perfect for both
armchair travelers and travel planners alike.
