1. The Great Dune of Pyla in France
Just 60 km from Bordeaux is the tallest sand dune in Europe. Even though it looks like a flat beach, it's actually 108 meters above sea level. Via: i.imgur.com
2. Mount Roraima in South America
Mount Roraima spreads out over Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. When clouds sweep in around it like that, it's breathtaking. Via: timsnell
3. The Badlands National Park in Interior, South Dakota, USA
The park consists of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles and spires. From this far away, the cracks on the peaks make them look brittle - like all it would take to send them crumbling to the ground is a gust of wind. Via: jamiedfw
4. The Stone Forest in Madagascar
The limestone blocks of the Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve are pretty tall (they're often referred to as "needles"), and from this angle they look more like a small-scale set of a city that's rigged to explode for a movie. Via: funtasticzone.com
5. Antelope Canyon in Arizona, USA
The cave is so smooth because during monsoon season, rain mixes with sand above the cave and erodes the walls when it floods in. Via: aquarjames
6. The Olympic National Park in Washington, USA
The park is made up of nearly one million acres, and for our sake, we hope it all looks the same. Via: flickr.com
7. The Triple Waterfall of Baatara Gorge in Lebanon
Also known as the "Cave of Three Bridges," the waterfall drops 837 feet into the Baatara Pothole, passing three different levels of Jurassic limestone on the way down. Via: all-that-is-interesting.com
8. Godafoss Waterfall in Iceland
Iceland is known for its dazzling waterfalls, but this one stands out because it's kind of like you get 10 to 12 for the price of 1. Via: marcobellucci
9. The Great Blue Hole in Belize
The submarine sinkhole (which are created when carbonate rocks dissolve or after suffosion) is near the Lighthouse Reef, and was reportedly formed 153,000 years ago.
10. The Marble Caves in Chile
This spectacular cave network can be found in the General Carrera Lake in Patagonia, and experts say the reason why the water is so clear is because of a "finely-ground glacial silt." It almost looks like the water could be warm, doesn't it? Via: beautifulplacestovisit.com
11. Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina
It measures 97 square miles and is located in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. The mass almost looks like a combination between cotton candy and the insulation you line your walls with to keep your house warm. Via: just4pleasure
12. The Blue Tunnel in Antarctica
If you didn't know you were inside a passage hidden away in an ice shelf near the Schirmacher Oasis, you'd probably think you had somehow stumbled into a life-sized lava lamp. Via: flickr.com
