As we know, when Louis Armstrong took his first small step on the lunar surface and looked at the Earth from space, he couldn’t help saying to himself: “What a wonderful world!” I’m kidding, of course. In fact, there’s only one true statement here – our world is really damn wonderful!
It’s wonderful even despite what we do with it, enthusiastically littering, polluting it with all kinds of waste. It’s wonderful, wherever we go. And in this viral thread on the AskReddit community, people open up about the most beautiful places they’ve ever been. And Bored Panda, especially for you, has made a selection of the most popular postings from there.

Every corner of this planet has exquisite beauty. Iceland is particularly incredible in that it boasts both volcanic splendor and icy vistas. And it’s largely untouched. If you go there, tread softly. Keep it untamed, and beautiful.

Sequoia National Park. I’ve lived in Europe and the Middle East, traveled far and wide, and Sequoia National Park has my heart. Those trees make me cry, the lives they’ve lived, the stories they could tell. Majestic giants.

Lake Bled, Slovenia. The mountains rising into the clouds, the green fields with cows and sheep, the beautiful lakes, the postcard-worthy churches and castles…

The summit of the Going To The Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Montana. I went in late summer and it was busy, but the views on every part of the drive were so gorgeous. The summit view was so beautiful, with the wildflowers, the other mountain peaks, and the sky ❤️.
