Now that all of the newly voted/latest natural wonders of the world have been highlighted, it is time to go back through the other twenty-one nominations to see which ones did not make the cut. These are not necessarily in any particular order, but they were all obviously in the running for the final list before falling short. It just further exemplifies the many beautiful and exciting places to visit on this wonder-full planet of ours. Next up on the list, a place that I’ve actually visited: the Milford Sound (New Zealand). The Sound is a fjord in the southwest of New Zealand’s South Island which runs 15 kilometres inland from the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 3,900 feet or more on either side. In addition to being New Zealand’s top tourist destination, it was also voted a top travel destination by TripAdvisor in their 2008 Travelers’ Choice Destination Awards. It truly is a spectacular destination.
