Almost everywhere you go on Earth, natural beauty catches your eye. Each continent boasts many awesome wonders. Snow-covered mountains and huge rock formations soar up into bright blue skies. Waterfalls plunge hundreds of feet to pools below. Dark, ancient forests shelter an amazing variety of life.

We have chosen what we believe to be the five most spectacular natural wonders-those that are the biggest, longest or most impressive of their kind. These natural wonders inspire awe in everyone who views them.

Mt. Everest 珠穆朗玛峰

Mt. Everest, which straddles the border between China and Nepal, is the world’s highest mountain. It measures 29, 035 feet. And the mountain is still growing! Geological forces push it up a few millimeters each year.

Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay first reached the peak’s summit in 1953. Since then more than 1,000 people have reached the top-and at least 100 have died trying. Why climb Everest? Briton George Mallory, part of the first expedition to climb the mountain in 1921, famously answered that question: “Because it is there.”
