10 Natural wonders of the world
BOREAL AURORAS
The aurora is a glow that appears in the night sky, usually in polar regions. They forms, structures and wide range of colors also change rapidly with time.
During a night, the aurora can start as a very isolated elongated arc that is spreading on the horizon. Around midnight the arc may start to increase their brightness. They begin to form waves or locks along the arc and vertical structures that look like rays of light very elongated and thin.
The entire sky can be filled with bands and rays of light that move quickly from horizon to horizon. The activity can last from a few minutes to hours. When approaching the dawn whole process seems to calm down and just a few small areas of the sky appear bright until the morning

MOUNT EVEREST
Mount Everest is the highest mountain on earth, with 8.844,43 metres high (from the center of the Earth the highest mountain in the world is the Chimborazo Andean)
In Nepal is called Sagarmatha (the front of heaven) and China Chomolungma or Qomolangma Feng (mother of the universe).

In 2005 a new measurement done by Chinese cartographers determined that the height of Everest is 8844.43 m. Although for the moment the altitude officially accepted internationally remains 10,000 m.
Mount Everest has two main routes of ascent, by the southeastern Nepal and Tibet by the Northeast, in addition to 13 other lesser-used routes. In both, the Southeast is technically easier and more used. It was used by Hillary and Norgay in 1953.
Most attempts are made while April and May before the monsoon because there is a change in the jet stream which reduces the wind speed at Everest. Although sometimes attempts are made after the monsoon in September and October, the accumulated snow hampers climbing more.
The Everest has been promoted at present, more than a thousand people.

GREAT CANYON OF COLORADO
Cannon is regarded as one of the natural wonders of the world and is located mostly within the Grand Canyon National Park. The canyon was created by the Colorado River, whose channel undermined the ground for millions of years.
It has approximately 446 km long, with ranges of between 6 to 29 km wide and reaches depths of over 1,600 m. Close to 2,000 million years of Earth's history has been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut layer after layer of sediment at the same time as the Colorado Plateau rose.
AMAZON FOREST
It is believed that the Amazon Rainforest comes to the six million square kilometers and is the largest rainforest in the world and is considered the "lungs of the planet." Its extension is spread across seven countries of South America: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Venezuela. In fact, the longest river in the world are here: The Amazon. Any fauna of the South American rainforest is present in the Jungle Amazónica. Scientists argue that there exist countless species of plants still unclassified, thousands of species of birds, amphibians and countless millions of insects.
GREAT BARRIER OF CORAL
It is the largest coral reef in the world, is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in the northeast of Australia. The reef, which stretches over some 2000 kilometres long, can be distinguished from space.
YELLOWSTONE PARK
It is a national park in the United States located in the Rocky Mountains, in the states of Montana, Idaho and, above all, Wyoming, which occupies the northwest corner. It is a huge park which covers nearly 9000 square kilometers.
He is known for samples of ancient volcanism, geisers and other geothermal phenomena, as well as its wildlife: there are many bears, wolves, reindeer and deer. The landscape is dominated by lodgepole pine forests.
SEQUOIA PARK
Sequoia trees, also known as the giants of California, are the biggest trees in the world, in fact, the world's highest tree is a sequoia 110 m. And will be fair in that encuetra Park near Orick, California (USA).

VICTORIA FALLS
The waterfall is part of two national parks, National Park Mosi-oa-Tunya in Zambia National Park and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and are one of the major tourist attractions of Southern Africa. They have been declared World Heritage by UNESCO.
EVERGLADES PANTANOS
The Everglades are one of the freshwater marshes largest in the North American continent, within the state of Florida, with vegetation communities formed by swamps populated juncia, vegetation plains and wetlands, islands of trees and mangrove swamps cundidos. The islands formed by groups of trees are the most distinctive plant communities of the Everglades. The mangrove swamps covered occupy the area between the open waters of coastal wetlands and freshwater inland.
VOLCANO KILAWEA
The Kilawea or Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and one of the five volcanoes that form the island of Hawaii, along with the volcano Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai and Kohala. Located in the southern part of the island of Mauna Loa (Hawaii). The volcanic edifice has a height of 1,111 m and a depth of 165 boiler my diameters between 3 and 5 km.
