10 Most Beautiful Views In The World

How I can wish that I'll at least one in this place....such a wonderful creation of God



Angel Falls – Venezuela
It is the world's highest waterfall, with a height of 979 m (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 m (2,648 ft).



 Antartica
About 98% of Antarctica is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet, a sheet of ice averaging at least 1.6 km (1.0 mi) thick. The continent has about 90% of the world's ice (and thereby about 70% of the world's fresh water). If all of this ice were melted, sea levels would rise about 60 m (200 ft)



Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon is known for its visually overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape. Geologically it is significant because of the thick sequence of ancient rocks that are beautifully preserved and exposed in the walls of the canyon. These rock layers record much of the early geologic history of the North American continent.



Sahara Desert 
"The Greatest Desert" is the world's largest hot desertThe climate of the Sahara has undergone enormous variation between wet and dry over the last few hundred thousand years. During the last glacial period, the Sahara was even bigger than it is today, extending south beyond its current boundaries.



 Montblanc – France-Suisse
It is also sometimes known as "La Dame Blanche" (French for "The White Lady").The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineeringhikingskiing and snowboarding.



Mount Everest
It is the world'shighest mountain above sea level at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). It is located in the Himalayas in Nepal, close to the border with Tibet. The highest mountain in the world attracts many well-experienced mountaineers as well as novice climbers who are willing to pay substantial sums to professional mountain guides to complete a successful climb. 



 Ngarai Sianok Bukittinggi – Indonesia
The 150 meter deep canyon lies on the outskirts of Bukittinggi. It is an incredibly picturesque area, lush green with a river winding through the bottom of the steep-walled canyon. West Sumatrans claim it is unrivalled for natural beauty in all of Indonesia, and locals frequently take visitors and friends on outings here.



Horseshoe Fall
Also known as the Canadian Falls, is a waterfall on the Niagara RiverThe name is derived from its curving, horseshoe-shaped crest that is 671 meters (2,200 ft) in width. There are only 14 people who tried to go over the falls in some version of a barrel. Eight tight rope walkers made their way across the falls. Two people swam over the falls. Two dare devils flew a plane under the bridge and the other jumped off a diving board.A total of six people died going over the falls.The most recent stunt man to make it over the falls was a 40 year old man.



Raja Ampat Papua – Indonesia
It encompasses more than 40,000 km² of land and sea, which also containsCenderawasih Bay, the largest marine national park in Indonesia. The area's massive coral colonies along with relatively high sea surface temperatures, also suggest that its reefs may be relatively resistant to threats like coral bleaching and coral disease, which now jeopardize the survival of other coral ecosystems around the world. 

Bora-Bora Island (France)
The island, located about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount OtemanuBora Bora is predestined for snorkeling and scuba diving in and around its lagoon. Many species of sharks and rays inhabit the surrounding body of water. There are a few dive operators on the island offering manta ray dives and also shark-feeding dives.
