The 28 finalists have been announced in the New 7 Wonders of Nature campaign, meaning members of the public and international travellers can now vote for their favourites.
Destinations across the globe are represented, with sites such as the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, the Matterhorn in the Alps, Germany's Black Forest and Mount Vesuvius in Italy flying the flag for Europe.
Travellers planning a trip to the Americas can pay a visit to the Bay of Fundy on the border between Canada and the US, Arizona's Grand Canyon, the Galapagos Islands or the Amazon rainforest, all of which are among the 28 finalists.
Other locations in the running to be named one of the world's seven natural wonders include South Africa's Table Mountain, the Great Barrier Reef off Australia's north-east coast and Halong Bay in Vietnam.
Commenting on the campaign, New 7 Wonders founder and president Bernard Weber said: 'So many breathtakingly beautiful, natural places are still quite unknown to many.
'From waterfalls to fjords, rainforests to mountain peaks, freshwater lakes to volcanoes, we are discovering together the incredible beauty and variety of our planet.'
The final list of the world's seven natural wonders will be announced on 11 November this year.
