Seven wonders of the new generation
We invite you to learn about the new beautiful objects of 2018, which can rightly be included in the updated list of the Seven wonders of the world. Many of them can be visited in person, impressed by the real magic of a miracle.
Great barrier reef, Queensland, Australia
The great barrier reef is located in northeastern Australia and is the largest living structure on the planet. Occupying 350,000 square kilometers, it is larger than the UK, Holland and Switzerland combined. If you play it on the map, it will get from London to Moscow. It is also one of the most biologically populated places on Earth, home to more than 1,500 species of fish (10 per cent of the world), 30 species of whales and dolphins, and more than 100 species of sharks.
But, he is on the verge of extinction. The fact is that global warming leads to coral bleaching. The great barrier reef, which has existed for 18 million years, is living its last days. That's why it's so important to see him.
Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
Kilauea is the most active volcano on Earth. It is located on the Big island of Hawaii and has been erupting continuously since 1983, but this year it was marked by the most active outbreaks, which fascinate with its beauty.
In local mythology, Kilauea is home to Pele, the goddess of volcanoes, and eruptions are an expression of her fiery temper. Watching the eruption at night is like watching fireworks.
Torres del Paine is simply breathtaking, towering 1.8 kilometers above the Patagonian steppe. The three sharp granite towers of the Payne massif have something almost otherworldly: as if you are looking at the spires of some great Cathedral, a huge stone temple or the remains of the legendary Kingdom.
Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russia
Russia is home to one of the greatest natural wonders of the world - lake Baikal in South-Eastern Siberia is surrounded by frozen tundra and vast taiga forests on all sides. The area of the lake is 31 722 square kilometers and more in volume than all the Great lakes of America. This place is the hot spot of UFO sightings.
The Mars science laboratory, Mars
In June of this year, NASA's Curiosity Rover, which roamed the surface of Mars, discovered organic molecules in ancient rocks on the red planet. What is also incredible is that people drive a car on another planet. Humanity is now actively studying other planets, and this is beyond doubt. It was hard. In order for the Rover to reach Mars, NASA scientists had to perform one of the most daring maneuvers in the history of space flight.
Karagaiski barrier, Utah, USA
If "Jurassic World 2" has revived your childhood love for dinosaurs, why not go and see their remains with your own eyes? Carnegie quarry, also known as the wall of Bones, in the national dinosaur monument in northeastern Utah, contains one of the best preserved collections of prehistoric life on the planet with 1,500 bones embossed in rocks. They are thought to be the remains of several dinosaur species, including Allosaurs, Camarasaurs and Stegosaurs, and seeing them live is as cool as going back in time.
Redwood national Park, California, USA
This year the Park celebrated its 50th anniversary. Here grows the world's tallest tree – Hyperion, discovered in 2006 - its height is 116 meters (35 floors). Standing under such a huge plant, causes only the most delightful sensations.
We will remind, earlier it became known that the Blue lagoon in Iceland is not as beautiful as it is shown in the photos of the travel Agency. Real photos of the place cause disappointment for Network users.
