Each year a list, called the World Heritage Sites, is compiled by the United Nations. This list contains some of the world's most amazing places and sites. There are currently over 180 of these sites spanning over 77 countries. Included on the list are natural wonders that are described as "unique, irreplaceable, and authentic."
