Seth Dixon‘s insight:

My grandparents bought me my first globe and subscription to National Geographic when the sensed an insatiable desire in me to explore strange places.  They subsequently took me to Yellowstone (Grand Prismatic Spring pictured above) and many other landmarks of in the West.  These sights still fills me with wonder; this fantastic list gives you the ability to digitally explore strange and exotic places.  There are some real teaching gems in the the list for both physical and human geography.
