The 28 finalists for the Natural Wonders

There have been already announced the 28 competitors for the finals competition for the 7 natural wonders. For several post we have followed up on this issue. Reviewing this I’ve noticed that is not so little that this topic entertained me, I would well have created a category because this is already my 12^th post on the subject:

1. Vote for the 7 natural wonders

In this post in January 2008 I launched my 7 favorites in the Spanish-speaking countries; from these it only survive the Salto del Angel. (1 of 7)

How is going the vote for the 7 natural wonders, January 2008

A month later I made a proposition as statistics growth the ones that survive are: El Salto del Angel, Grand Canyon, Galapagos and Iguazu. (4 of 7)

3. The 7 natural wonders that continue rising

4. Which are the 7 wonders that will win

On this date I talked about the probable distribution of wonders if a chance would be given by continent

Asia: 3
South America: 1
Central America: 1
North America: 1
Europe: 1

Population: a disadvantage in the 7 natural wonders

In this post I spoke of possibilities with the population by continent with Internet access.

Asia would have 4, 3 Europe, North America (excluding Mexico) would have 2 and Latin America 1.

7 natural wonders What’s the heck with it?

7. 7 wonders, almost everything returns to normal

Here I suggested 21 possible finalists, with 3 candidates for each continent. Between them I stuck on 7.

What’s up with the 7 wonders

9. And finally, what natural wonders remain?

10. They’re the 77 nominated Natural Wonders

11. 7 Wonders, the battle of the 77
