Unsung World Wonder


The world always joins together, nominates and decides which naturally beautiful places would make the cut for the Natural Wonders of the World. For far too long I have seen beautiful places make the list but I feel as though the Bahamas has some locations that have been overlooked for years that I wish to share with you.

The first location is probably my favorite place in the world! It is so amazing and astonishes me every time I see it. This place I am talking about is the Glass Window Bridge in Eleuthera, Bahamas. This natural formation is the most narrow spot of the island which connects the 112 mile long North and South ends of the island. Originally, it actually had a rock formation of a bridge which was knocked down by a storm and is now replaced by a constructed bridge. The amazing feature about this spot is that on one side is the deep blue water of the  Atlantic Ocean, roaring in rage and the other side is the calm, green waters of the Caribbean Sea.
This and many other locations are on the "Out Islands" of the Bahamas, the non commercialized islands. Many people may never even hear of this Glass Window Bridge because of it is not among the hotel areas. If you ever get some time to visit the Bahamas, head to Eleuthera island.


 
Tell me this is not the most beautiful natural miracle you have ever seen!
