The beauties of nature and the wonders of the world we live in. Natural history; Physical geography; Astronomy. Be sure to pack your shorts as temperatures in the cave can reach a sweltering 58 degrees Celsius, with humidity varying from percent. Due these extreme conditions, and only being discovered in by miners, the cave system is relatively untouched, with most explorers unable to endure more than 10 minutes in the heat.

Where: Lighthouse Reef, Belize. The eerie Great Blue Hole lies 70 km off of mainland Belize and is a perfectly circular submarine sinkhole, with depth of m and width of m, formed in stages over , to 15, years ago. The darkness obscures an intricate system of submerged caves , where stalactites indicate that it must have been formed above sea level. During a glacial age the seas were much lower, and the limestone cave was subsequently flooded with the roof collapsing as the sea levels began to rise. The closed environment also offers the perfect nursery for juvenile fish.

The structure of the cave allows mesmerising sounds to be produced, giving the cave its Gaelic name Uamh-Binn , which means Cave of Melody. Alongside many geological wonders, the majestic pillars of the cave were formed after the cooling of an ancient lava flow, the same flow that created the Giants Causeway in Ireland 60 million years ago. The two sites were likely connected by a bridge of the same material.

The cave system was discovered in and named after a popular poem from the time, and has inspired imaginations ever since. The fascinating geometric cave was featured in an early song by Pink Floyd and the site was even visited by Queen Victoria. Where: Sahara Desert, Mauritania. The almost perfect circular structure stretches 40 km in diameter, and the radial colour changes are produced by the presence of different sedimentary and igneous rocks.

Also known as the Richat Structure, it was originally thought to have formed from an asteroid impact because of the high degree of circularity. Further study by geologists has revealed that it is in fact an eroded dome, and extensive fieldwork found no evidence of extraterrestrial collision. The site is an eroded maar a low-lying volcanic crater, which erupts after groundwater comes into contact with magma and contains quartz-rich sandstone. Where: Quang Binh Province, Vietnam. At m deep, 5km long and m wide, Hang Son Doong has the largest cave passage in the world.

The cave system was carved by an underground river, which still flows through the passages, and is estimated to be three million years old, a youngster when it comes to caves. Vegetation blankets the floor of the cave, achieving the illusion that you are actually outside. The clouds escape through the small openings in the roof, which aided the discovery of this untouched world. Only in did a group of British cavers make the site internationally known. Their expedition uncovered the strange environment within, including a 60m tall calcite wall, aptly named the Great Wall of Vietnam, 80m tall stalagmites and baseball-sized cave pearls a calcium salt formation, where spherical layers of the minerals gradually deposit on a central nucleus to form a ball.

This cave however, has become a hotspot for adventurous tourists, and since only visitors are allowed into Hang Son Doong each year, there is currently a two-year waiting list. Where: Antarctica. Where is the driest place on Earth? Surely the answer would be a desert, the Atacama desert in Chile maybe? The 4,square-kilometre region is absent of all precipitation; there is no snow, no water and no ice.

The area experiences no rainfall due to the Katabatic winds from the mountains. These winds are saturated with moisture, so gravity pulls them down away from the valleys, giving them an incredibly low humidity. Where: Arizona, USA.

The Antelope Canyon is an example of a slot canyon, which is a narrow canyon deeper than it is wide, formed through erosion by water. The constant bombardment of water has smoothed the edges of the sandstone canyon walls giving them their characteristic ripples. The sunlight cascades onto the orange walls, casting ever-changing shadows on the flowing walls.

The grandeur of this geologic wonder disguises its dangerous environment, as sudden floods from 11km up stream at the canyon basin pick up speed and unsuspecting tourists. Where: Bohol, Philippines. Spread across an area of 50 square kilometres, as many as 1, domed hills scatter the terrain of the Bohol province. The hills are made of limestone, with an outer grassy layer, which turns brown in the dry seasons, inspiring their name.

The limestone encloses many fossils of marine animals, such as corals and algae left behind from an ancient seabed lifted upwards through tectonic action.

The raised seabed was then eroded by rivers, leaving behind the rolling symmetrical domes. At 1,m wide, and m at its deepest point, the Arizona meteor crater is said to be the best preserved crater on Earth.

The New Seven Wonders of Nature

The crater is estimated at 50, years old, so woolly mammoths native to region at the time would have observed the meteor impact. Climbers first reached the south summit in , a feat now attempted by more than a thousand people every year. Get up close and feel the cool spray on a Maid of the Mist boat tour. See oddly shaped stalactites, stalagmites and other impressive speleothems cave formations on a lantern-lit cave tour. On the wind-blown, tide-splashed Atlantic coast, Acadia is a maritime treasure. For equally stunning panoramas, show up for golden leaf peeping in autumn. Today the valley is a Navajo tribal park.
