When you think about the Earth's natural wonders, the Grand Canyon and Mount Everest are probably the first ones that spring to mind — but we've got a hell of a lot more than that, and some lesser known and closer to home...
We all fancy we know this world of ours pretty well, but here at Lovin.ie we're convinced there's a few gems out there that you've yet to learn of or set eyes upon.
The trick is finding them.
Being the sound people we are, we've gone hunting for the greatest natural wonders that the world has to offer so you can start ticking them off your list.
There's a reason they've used this as a shooting location for the newest Star Wars trilogy— it looks out of the world.
The perfect destination for a romantic weekend adventure.
Simple but easily accessible to everyone on the planet.
And very often nothing short of breathtaking.
The sheer diversity of life, the clear electric blue water - its place as one of the greatest wonders of the world is not unfounded.
Truly breathtaking to behold.
Carved by the ferocious Atlantic and found under the Burren, this cavity is home to the largest stalactite in the Northern Hemisphere. No big deal.
Equally as breathtaking in the day as it is at night:
In our thoughts...
It's no Everest, but its the tallest mountain in Ireland and the view from its peak makes the arduous climb seem totally worth it.
Dip, anyone?
Unearthly, ethereal...
The layered bands of Arizona red rock are utterly mind-blowing.
Rio de Janeiro's harbour is the stuff of fairy-tales...
Well, we could hardly leave it out now, could we?
So high up the list purely because we have more of a chance of seeing them in Manchester. And they really are stunning.
We're certainly California dreamin' after seeing this.
The views off the coast in Kauai are disgustingly beautiful.
The National Park and Preserve are eye-watering...
There are just no words.
Think we've missed any, or have a photograph of anywhere just as stunning? Let us know in the comments.
