Mount Everest

Mount Everest on the border of Nepal and Tibet is the tallest mountain in the world. Its peak is the highest point above sea level on Earth with an altitude of almost 29,032 feet.
 

The Northern Lights

The Northern Lights generally appear in the Arctic around Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and the northernmost portions of Scandinavia. Denali National Park in Alaska is another great spot to see them. They can be seen as wave- or sheet-like lights in the sky (conditions), often greenish or reddish in color and magnificently bright, at altitudes as great as 620 miles.
 

Paricutin Volcano

The Paricutin Volcano is a cinder cone volcano located in Michoacán, Mexico. The world has watched this volcano grow since it began forming in 1943 in farmer Dionisio Pulido's cornfield, and it is actually the youngest volcano in the world.

Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world, is located in southern Africa on the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Zambezi River serves as the falls' water source. Victoria Falls measures over 5,600 feet across and 3,000 feet high, and it has an average depth of about 328 feet.

  Great Places To Explore
 

Havasu Canyon is famous for its stunning sculptured red rock and … you guessed it, waterfalls. It’s located in western Grand Canyon.

Flowing through Havasu Canyon is a brilliant turquoise stream with many waterfalls and cascades to explore. The most popular are the Upper and Lower Navajo Falls, Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls and Beaver Falls. The most dramatic (to get to, at least) is Mooney Falls, with a crazy descent through caves and chain ladders.

There are quite a few traveller 360 videos of Havasu Canyon. I like this virtual tour of Mooney Falls from Base Camp Vegas; you see this gorgeous area from the canyon floor, the crazy climb out, and then from above.

Two other 360 videos to check out are from B Davey: descent to Mooney Falls and view over the edge. A
