Northern Ireland: The Giant's Causeway

According to legend, a mythological giant named Fionn MacComhail built this causeway to reach and fight his Scottish foe, Bendonner. In reality, these massive pillars are basalt columns, a natural consequence of prehistoric volcanic eruptions.


Australia: Uluru

Uluru, or Ayer's Rock, is arguably one of Australia's most recognizable landmarks. The sandstone formation stands over 1,000 feet high and is located in the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park in Australia's Northern Territory. Depending on what time of day it is, the massive land-island appears to glow and change color.


 

California: Zabriskie Point

There's a lot to see at Death Valley National Park, but one of the most recognizable (and beautiful) attractions is the badland formation of the long-gone Furnace Creek Lake at Zabriskie Point. At night, you can get an unadulterated view of the Milky Way.


 

Montana: Lake McDonald

All of Glacier National Park is very beautiful, but people flock to Lake McDonald for the incredible vista: Mountains, dense forest and a placid waterway give visitors a feeling of being surrounded by untouched wilderness.


Colorado: The Maroon Bells

Twin peaks Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak outside of Aspen make up the landscape over Maroon Lake that has become the most photographed spot in Colorado. Another name for this stunning vista? The Deadly Bells. Hikers beware!


Iceland: Landmannalaugar

Landmannalaugar, located at the edge of the Laugahraun lava field in Iceland, is best known for its picturesque hiking trails. That's not entirely just for the exercise, though; the area is difficult to traverse by car. If you're not up for a hike, you'll have to go old school: Tourists will often take Icelandic horses and ponies into the pass.


Chile: Torres Del Paine National Park

This national park in Chile's Southern Patagonia is full of geographical wonders including glaciers and lakes, but the most famous of these are almost certainly the peaks from which the park gets its name: three peaks that have also been called "Cleopatra's Needles."


Egypt: The White Desert

The White Desert in Farafra looks like snow-covered sand at first glance. It's not snow, but white chalk that gives the desert its name. The expanse is marked here and there with distinctive rock formations that resemble everything from chickens to maidens. Pictured is "Mushroom Rock," named thus for obvious reasons.
