Hi everyone!

This blog is about the "New Seven Wonders of Nature". The "New7Wonders Foundation" already made a list of the "New Seven Wonders of the World", but until 11.11.2011, a democratic vote will decide of the main natural places of interest in our world. This idea of a "World Heritage" is quite fashionable these days ; the Seven Wonders refer to the appreciation of a common past, or a common natural heritage, that each and everyone of us have to protect for the future generations.

A New Wonder of Nature ; Table Mountain




Table Mountain is a South African icon and the only natural site on the planet to have a constellation of stars named after it - Mensa, meaning “the table.” The flat-topped mountain has withstood six million years of erosion and hosts the richest, yet smallest floral kingdom on earth with over 1,470 floral species. Table Mountain boasts numerous rare and endangered species. It is the most recognized site in Cape Town, the gateway to Africa, owing to its unique flat-topped peaks which reach 1,086 m above sea level.
