Hi All,I was just perusing the Newsday.com website when I found this article. It is aptly called '7 New Natural Wonders of the World Announced'. Click here for the link to it from the Newsday site.
Now, specifically, what are these 7 new wonders?
1. The Amazon Rainforest
2. Halong Bay, Vietnam
3. Iguazu Falls, on Brazil-Argentina border
4. Jeju Island, South Korea
5. Komodo National Park, Indonesia
6. Puerto Princessa Underground River, Philippines
7. Table Mountain, South Africa
Click on this link for the actual website to find out more about the New 7 Wonders were chosen. You'll also find a list of the other 21 sites (not websites) that were nominated but were not chosen as being one of the 7 New Wonders!!
Note that if you click on this link for the 28 finalists you can learn more about that particular wonder. Clicking on the link to a particular wonder leads you to photographs of the finalists as well as new about the topic. There are also videos and a place where visitors can support a particular natural wonder.
Very clever and well designed site! And very educational without being heavy handed or having an agenda!
Regards,
Stu
