Across the roughly 60 million square miles of land covering this breathtaking planet, there are a lot of exceedingly beautiful places. From serene and stirring to surreal and sublime, trying to list them all would be an impossible task; and of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But that doesn’t mean we can’t do our best to give a shout-out to some of the places that showcase the amazing accomplishments that Mother Nature – sometimes with an assist from her inhabitants – has achieved. Here are some of the best places.

The Maldives

Salar de Uyuni (Southwest Bolivia)

Victoria Falls (Zambia)

Northern Lights (Norway)

We decided to close with two Greek places, which in our opinion are the best in Greece

Meteora (defined as middle of the sky)

Santorini
