The 7 Wonders of the Natural World
There are many different lists of natural wonders, but the most popular and widely used is the list created by CNN. Unlike the New Seven Wonders of the World lists, which was determined by popular vote, this list was determined by experts around the world who ranked sites based on statistical and traditional significance, uniqueness, and pure splendor.
Highlights
Praça Iaiá García, 160 - Ribeira, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 21930-040, Brazil
Based on volume of water, Guanabara Bay is the largest bay in the world. The shape of the bay and surrounding granite monolith mountains (including iconic Sugarloaf Mountain) was formed by erosion of the Atlantic Ocean, and it is that fantastic act of nature that helped the harbor become designated one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
