2. Glacier Bay. In Alaska, where the mountains rise higher from the sea than at any other place on earth. It’s a land of glaciers, big fjords and perpendicular ice walls shining in the sun. Here all varieties of arctic life are present. One can see, for example, whales sending up fountains of water, seals, white bears, deer, wolves and a great number of birds. The great glaciers grow slowly, become fantastically large and then slide majestically toward the sea leaving behind new soil were the cycle of growing begins all over again.

3. The Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. «Mammoth» is the right word for great Labyrinth of underground corridors, full of colourful formations made by the centuries. Stalactites drop from the ceiling like New Year tree toys, stalagmites rise from the floor. The formations on the walls are like flowers, trees and animals. How old is the Mammoth Cave? Its development began about 240 million years ago, but people discovered it in 1800, when a hunter running after a wounded bear, suddenly came upon its entrance.

4. Victoria Falls. It is truly one of Nature’s most wonderful sights. It is situated between Zambia and Rhodesia. Victoria is more than twice as high as Niagara and almost one and a half times as wide. At Niagara the river goes over a cliff and into a broad open area, at Victoria the long river Zambezi carries as much as 75 million gallons of water in a minute over one cliff and against another, into a gorge not more than 100 feet wide, known as the Boiling Pot. This creates massive clouds of spray, a fantasy of rainbows which can be seen from miles away. Africans call the falls Mosi-oa-tunya, ”The Smoke That Thunders”.

5. Baikal, Siberia’s Giant Lace. Imagine a fresh water lake larger than Belgium, with High mountains Round it. It’s Baikal, 40 miles from Irkutsk in south-eastern Siberia. More than a mile deep in places, Baikal contains as much fresh water (one-fifth of our planet’s entire supply) as all of the North America Great Lakes taken together. About 1,800 species of flora and fauna live in it, two-thirds of which are not found anywhere else. There is, for example, the golomyanka, a fish so nearly transparent, that one can almost read a newspaper trough it. Unique to Baikal, too, are its 40,000 seals. How did seals get there, 1,000milles from salt water? Scientist think that they had remained in the lake from the time when Baikal was in some way connected with the Arctic Ocean.

7.Yellowstone National Park. The largest park in the USA. It covers an area of 3,472 square miles. Yellowstone is a world in itself. It was born of volcanic fire and later moulded by glaciers. It has high mountains and cliffs, waterfalls, hot springs, steaming and bubbling, and the world’s greatest concentration of geysers ( no less than 10,000), throwing their water from time to time high into the air. The wild life of Yellowstone is very rich with bison, moose, elk and bears, and a great number of smaller animals and birds. Two and a half million people visit the park each year.

Is there anything in our life today that may be called one of the wonders of the world? Answers to this question are different. Some say it’s the motor-car, others say it’s the space craft. There are people who call television one of the wonders. We think that the greatest wonder of the world is Man himself. What do you think about it?
