  NgorogoroCrater,
  Tanzania
  
  The Ngorogoro Crater is Africa’s Eden. Created when a huge volcano exploded 2-3 million years ago, the 300 square kilometer caldera now offers the best chances of seeing Africa’s wild animals. Lions, rhino, leopards, elephant and buffalo are the “big five” present among around 25,000 animals, and nearly every species present in East Africa, which call the area home. Besides that, the crater itself offers dramatic vistas, especially at sunrise.

  The Blue Hole, Belize
  
  The Great Blue Hole is a gigantic sinkhole off the coast of Belize that measures 984 ft across and 407 ft deep. The blue hole was formed through karsting episodes of limestone where the limestone dissolves. The dissolution of limestone occurs differently during high and low sea levels, with the Great Blue Hole likely forming over the course of several glaciation cycles. Divers from around the world visit this UNESCO world heritage site to enjoy the natural wonder of the hole and diverse marine life.

  Crystal Cave, Mexico
  The Crystal Cave in Mexico is a geologic wonder worthy of visiting. This cave boasts up to 40 ft long and 13 ft diameter selenite crystals (Gypsum) that each can weigh up to 55 tons. The crystals were able to grow to massive sizes due to the high but stable temperature of around 136 degrees Fahrenheit.  
  Underlying magma heated the overlying cave water causing the high temperatures and environment for gypsum to crystalize. Tourists can explore the cave with a guide and training.
