Kīlauea - 20
Ko Samui - 20
Lake Baikal - 20
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 20
Macocha Gorge - 20
Mammoth Cave - 20 - 3 = 17 Very beautiful, but I do not know how a Cave/Natural Wonder can be placed on the map.

Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 20
Ko Samui - 20
Lake Baikal - 20
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 20
Macocha Gorge - 20
Mammoth Cave - 14 (17-3) Xandinho is right about that graphical problem. This is true for the Cueva de los Cristales as well, but I consider the latter to be more unique. The Blue caves of Zakynthos can be done without showing the cave on the map.
Mariana Trench - 20
Salar de Uyuni - 20
Serengeti - 20
Underwater Waterfall (Mauritius) - 20
Wadden Sea - 20
White Desert (Egypt) - 21 (20+1) A unique place that would look nice in the Civ VI art style.
 
@Siptah, just out of curiosity, when you visited Iguaçu Falls, were you on the Brazilian side or on the Argentine side?

Brazilian side, I was 'close' due to a work trip and couldn't choose and didn't have that much time. Otherwise I'd probably tried to visit both sides.

Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 20
Macocha Gorge - 20
Mammoth Cave - 14+1=15 I'm not familiar with many of these NWs, but I am familiar with Mammoth Cave. It's a World Heritage Site, and can be represented by the Cave mouth.
Mariana Trench - 20-3=17 How is a trench deep in the ocean going to be visible during the game?
Salar de Uyuni - 20
Serengeti - 20

Iguaçu Falls - 21
Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 20
Ko Samui - 20-3=17 - Ko Samui is mostly known for the Grandfather Rock, which is maybe interresting, but I really don't know how they would depict it on map.
Lake Baikal - 20
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 20+1=21 - My first choice. Incredibly beautiful desert wonder that would also look great on map. Firaxis, please, make this happen!

Underwater Waterfall (Mauritius) - 20 + 1 = 21 Another very beautiful place
Wadden Sea - 20
White Desert (Egypt) - 21
 
Blue Caves (Greece) - 20+1=21 this is a good place to start for more ocean wonders.

Macocha Gorge - 20+1=21 - This game needs an abyss wonder, and while certainly not the most wondrous abyss in the world, I think it would be an interresting addition.
Mammoth Cave - 15
Mariana Trench - 17-3=14 - Is it a wonder? Yes! But kind of invisible, and that's a huge problem.

Mariana Trench - 14
Salar de Uyuni - 20
Serengeti - 14
Underwater Waterfall (Mauritius) -21
Wadden Sea - 20-3=17 It surprises me that no one has downvoted this. It's not much to look at, being tidal mudflats. It's a World Heritage Site, sure, but is known mainly for wildlife.

Roman Citizen, did you downvote the Wadden Sea? Because the score for that should be 14 if you did.
 
@Guandao, I would say that Mammoth Cave gets downvote before the other caves because Blue Caves of Zakynthos can be easily done since their beauty starts in their entrance and Cueva de Los Cristales is more unique.

Lake Baikal - 20
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 21
Macocha Gorge - 21
Mammoth Cave -13
Mariana Trench - 14-3=11 - The invisibility problem is much worse here than with any of the caves. Deserves to go first.

Blue Caves (Greece) - 21
Cueva de los Cristales - 20
Danxia - 21
Delicate Arch - 17 (20 - 3) I don't think that it alone is too wondrous, it would also look way too big if displayed alone. The Arches national park sure is one of the most beautiful in the US though.
