Northern Ireland: The Giant's Causeway
According to legend, a mythological giant named Fionn MacComhail built
this causeway to reach and fight his Scottish foe, Bendonner. In
reality, these massive pillars are basalt columns, a natural consequence
of prehistoric volcanic eruptions. |

Australia: Uluru
Uluru, or Ayer's Rock, is arguably one of Australia's most recognizable
landmarks. The sandstone formation stands over 1,000 feet high and is
located in the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park in Australia's Northern
Territory. Depending on what time of day it is, the massive land-island
appears to glow and change color. |

California: Zabriskie Point
There's a lot to see at Death Valley National Park, but one of the most
recognizable (and beautiful) attractions is the badland formation of the
long-gone Furnace Creek Lake at Zabriskie Point. At night, you can get
an unadulterated view of the Milky Way. |

Montana: Lake McDonald
All of Glacier National Park is very beautiful, but people flock to Lake
McDonald for the incredible vista: Mountains, dense forest and a placid
waterway give visitors a feeling of being surrounded by untouched
wilderness. |

Colorado: The Maroon Bells
Twin peaks Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak outside of Aspen make up
the landscape over Maroon Lake that has become the most photographed
spot in Colorado. Another name for this stunning vista? The Deadly
Bells. Hikers beware!

Iceland: Landmannalaugar
Landmannalaugar, located at the edge of the Laugahraun lava field in
Iceland, is best known for its picturesque hiking trails. That's not
entirely just for the exercise, though; the area is difficult to
traverse by car. If you're not up for a hike, you'll have to go old
school: Tourists will often take Icelandic horses and ponies into the
pass.

Chile: Torres Del Paine National Park
This national park in Chile's Southern Patagonia is full of geographical
wonders including glaciers and lakes, but the most famous of these are
almost certainly the peaks from which the park gets its name: three
peaks that have also been called "Cleopatra's Needles."

Egypt: The White Desert
The White Desert in Farafra looks like snow-covered sand at first
glance. It's not snow, but white chalk that gives the desert its name.
The expanse is marked here and there with distinctive rock formations
that resemble everything from chickens to maidens. Pictured is "Mushroom
Rock," named thus for obvious reasons. |
