Voting is into the third phase for the New 7 Wonders of Nature. The campaign runs on the back of a successful campaign to select the 7 New Wonders of the World, where finalists include India’s Taj Mahal and China’s Great Wall.

Australia’s Uluru and Great Barrier Reef have made the final 28 with other regional finalists, including Vietnam’s Halong Bay, Indonesia’s Komodo Island, and the Philippines’ Puerto Princesa Underground River.

Have your say by voting for your top 7 Natural Wonders from a list of 28 official finalists. The winners will be announced at an official event in 2011, with an estimated 1 billion votes expected.

    I think there’s another Wonder, whihc is in China – a rivermouth
    that shapes like a Dragon and a Tiger opp. each other which was
    on Singapore’s OKTO channel sometime around 18th to 23rd July 2009.
    – another MUST consider should be NZ’s Rotorua 30m Geizer !

    The Wonders of the World should be Nature’s gift for us to see
    and marvel in a Once-a-lifetime, even if we have no chance to see,
    rather than Man-made or some tourism’s promotional gimmick or
    heresay.

    Enough said, I fully support UK’s Stonehenge, USA/Canada’s
    Niagara Falls, China’s Great Wall, India’s Taj Mahal, Aust’s
    Great Barrier, Egypt’s Pyramid, NZ’S Rotorua etc…
    – let’s search for these, and am sure there are more….

    End.

    7 wonders of the world should always remain unique in nature…so i think besides man made buildings i think the word 7 Natural should be understood clearly by everyone….

    why people always want man-made building to be selected.i really don’t understand why they did’t put the pyramid of gyza in the seven wonders list.i think it’s not fair to put modern man-made building in that list compare to the ancient building that didn’t use any modern technology.

  • lvbala said:

    Seven wonders should be selected from what man has created and not from the nature. Cause natures effect is always be the greatest and will be the greatest of all time. But what man has created and remain as the greatest should be recognised as the greatest to mankind and to be considered as wonders.

    Natures greatnest remain great and named as heritage Uncr.

    Please consider.

    i think for me one of the best 7 wonders of the world was in puerto princesa,it was really really great if you this natural underground river with stalamite and atalagtite inside it was amazing the best.

    The Great Barrier Reef, Australia is truly an amazing place. And Vietnam’s VinPearl Island. Some parts of the Amazon Basin has gorgeous landscapes.

  • Cris said:

    I am surprised to see some nominations from new 7 natural wonders to be man made, how is that? It is very clear it is about “N A T U R A L” wonders, ie. without human intervention. Need to apply some common sense i here isn’t it?
