Earth is an amazing place and, apart from the sights we can see from space, everything beautiful, rare, or charming we can see can be found here, on the (relatively) small blue ball in which we live. To honor our wonderful world and all its natural wonders, we invite you to enjoy the following 18 photos that show it in all its splendor. From the national parks in the United States, through the enchanting sights of the frozen north to first light in New Zealand - these are some of the most beautiful sights that make our world a unique place!
