The Great Barrier Reef

"The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world, and pulling away from it, and viewing it from a greater distance, you can understand why. It is larger than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in north-east Australia.  It is a divers' paradise because of all the marine life that the coral attracts, not to mention the amazing formations and colors of the reef itself, this natural wonder deserves its high ranking in the top adventure trips list."
