Provisional results of ‘Seven new natural wonders’ of the world

The foundation New7Wonders founded by filmmaker Bernard Weber in Zurich, has announced provisional results of the world's new seven wonders of nature.


The list includes Amazon rainforest, Vietnam's Halong Bay, Argentina's Iguazu Falls, South Korea's Jeju Island, Indonesia's Komodo, the Philippines' Puerto Princesa Underground River and South Africa's Table Mountain.

The findings are based on a poll from December 2007 to July 2009. People from round the world had opportunity to put forward their proposals. More than a million votes were cast. Sites like Mount Kilimanjaro, the Dead Sea and the US Grand Canyon were eliminated in the process.

Final results will be announced formally early next year
