Evidence: The new 7 wonders of the world

ACCORDING TO 'CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER'

These are the seven wonders of the world for 2020 (and one is not on Earth)

These are the seven essential places to visit in 2020, with great curiosity: for the
first time, one of the most incredible places to visit is off our planet.

Traveling is one of the great pleasures that human beings can enjoy. Knowing
places in any corner of the world helps us to know more about ourselves and
about the culture that has propelled us to the vital point in which we find
ourselves. There are beautiful natural paradises that are worth seeing first-hand
... but have you ever wondered which are the most impressive places in the
world? These are the seven wonders of 2020. Traditionally it has been spoken
of the seven wonders of the ancient world, places that it was necessary to know
but of which, to this day, only the Great Pyramid of Giza remains standing. The
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus, the
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of
Alexandria were considered as unique places in the world. But, nowadays,
other spaces have been gaining prominence for the traveler.

Thus, it has been the tourism magazine Condé Nast Traveler that has been in
charge, in recent years, of making a list of the seven wonders of the world that
must be known each year. Now, he has just published the seven essential
places to visit in 2020, with a great curiosity: for the first time, one of the most
incredible places to visit ... it is not on Earth!

05 - Sheldon Chalet (USA)

he Ruth Glacier in Alaska is one of the most unknown places on the planet.
Covered by an almost perfect semicircle of mountain peaks always covered
with snow, inside it houses a secret: a refuge, called Sheldon Chalet, which can
now be visited. The impressive views surrounded by all kinds of luxuries make it
a unique place: not surprisingly, experts say that it is one of the best places on
the planet to see stars and Northern Lights at night.
ny experienced mountaineer will say that reaching its summit (6,193 meters) is
one of the most dangerous challenges in this noble sport. And it is that the
Denali, in Alaska, shows that height is not everything in a mountain. Far from
the great eight thousand such as Annapurna, Nanga Parbat, K2 or Everest,
Denali stands out for being one of the northernmost peaks in the world, a few
degrees from the Arctic Circle, something that gives it the honor of being the
coldest mountain outside the Antarctic continent. If to that is added the fact that
in these coordinates, the atmosphere is thinner and therefore, the pressure is
lower than normal, then Denali National Park becomes one of the most remote
and inaccessible places in the world.
