1. Sahara

2. Ha Long Bay

The other name of Ha Long Bay is Bay of Descending Dragons which is located in Vietnam on the 120 km long coastline. It’s the thick jungles that is features with seascape of limestone pillars and vegetation. Most of the island are still pristine and never experience an existence of human on their surface while others are floating with fishermen.

3. Mount Everest

It’s a rare experience when you stand at the summit of Mount Everest 29,029 ft high. It’s the highest peak in the world located on the border of Tibet and Nepal. Most climbers take risks to combat altitude sickness, weather, and wind to reach the top.

5. Great Barrier Reef

When you move off the coast of Queensland, Australia about 160 km, you will find yourself in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef. It’s the world's largest coral reef system extending over 3,000 km that is also visible through space. The reef system is a refuge for wildlife such as sea turtles, dolphins, whales, clownfish, and sea snakes.
