Our wonderful planet is home to some extraordinary natural wonders, which have formed over millions and millions of years due to volcanic action, water and wind erosion, and other forces. Beyond our coastlines lie yet more offshore wonders, like the Galapagos Islands, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Great Blue Hole of Belize.
