Swiss foundation New7Wonders Foundation has published a very surprising list of the new seven wonders of nature. Contrary to popular opinion about the most beautiful places on our planet's natural wonders on the list were very obscure location. The winners in the competition were determined by public vote. It seems that people are tired of the old nature's wonders and chose new ones that are not so popular in geography textbooks.
