Great Blue Hole - 21

Guilin Mountains - 22
Iguaçu Falls - 24
Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 21
Ko Samui - 8-3=5 - There are many other famous and beautiful tropical islands, and I don't see any way how they would put the Grandfather Rock, the most known place there, in game.
Lake Baikal - 22
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 231

[Amrunril]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 21
Cueva de los Cristales - 7 (10 - 3) Cave wonder's aren't inherently a bad idea. They're distinct from anything else in the game, and I think many of them could be effectively portrayed by openings/surface features. As far as I can tell, though, this one lacks any sort of distinctive surface features, so it probably isn't the best choice.
Danxia - 22
Delicate Arch 18
Erta Ale -22
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 22
Iguaçu Falls - 24
Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 22
Ko Samui - 2
Lake Baikal - 22
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 20 @Kimiimaro, you've been quite insistent on wanting an abyss wonder- how are you defining an abyss as distinct from a cave (and why is it more important)? I did a brief search for the term, but the only geographical definitions I found dealt with abyssal planes.
Mammoth Cave -10
Salar de Uyuni - 21
Serengeti - 8 (7 + 1) Default grassland and plains terrain are nondescript enough that it should be fairly easy to make this stand out, and as the world's best known, arguably most impressive grassland, it's certainly worthy of a slot.
Underwater Waterfall (Mauritius) - 22
White Desert (Egypt) - 21

@Amrunril, you gave me an interresting question. My definiton would probably be very simple: a huge, mostly vertical hole in the Earth. What makes Macocha Gorge better option then Mammoth Cave and Cueva de los Cristales is that it isn't "invisible". The beauty of those two caves is hidden deep inside them, and that makes them "invisible". Also, I somewhere mentioned that I'm fighting for it because I'm Czech, and I still feel that my homeland should have more space. I'm proud on it as a part of Czech Republic's beautiful nature.


Blue Caves (Greece) - 21+1=22 - A nice cave wonder that is nice and unique from both inside and outside.
Cueva de los Cristales - 7
Danxia - 22
Delicate Arch 18
Erta Ale -22
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 22
Iguaçu Falls - 24
Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 22
Ko Samui - 2-3=-1 (ELIMINATED) - The Grandfather Rock isn't enough to make this tropical island a worthy inclusion.
Lake Baikal - 22
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 20
Mammoth Cave -10
Salar de Uyuni - 21
Serengeti - 8

Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 22
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 17 (20-3) I don't think it is a particularly wonderful abyss. One could choose a more spectacular one or one with lots of stories about it, like Tartarus itself.
Mammoth Cave -10
Salar de Uyuni - 21
Serengeti - 8
Underwater Waterfall (Mauritius) - 22
White Desert (Egypt) - 22 (21+1) Amazing place that would look amazing in civ VI art style on the map

Mammoth Cave -10 - 3 = 7 Natural wonders must show their external beauty to be impressive on the map, which is not the case of Caves, I'm sorry.
Salar de Uyuni - 21
Serengeti - 8
Underwater Waterfall (Mauritius) - 22 + 1 = 23 Very beautiful, and it would be impressive on the map.
White Desert (Egypt) - 22

 

[Fish Man]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Cueva de los Cristales - 7
Danxia - 22
Delicate Arch 18 + 1 = 19 There's nothing quite like these on Earth and to the best of my knowledge in the game; would be a shame to miss out on adding them.
Erta Ale - 22
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 22
Iguaçu Falls - 24
Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 22

Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 17
Mammoth Cave - 7 - 3 = 4 Yeah, I agree with the fact that natural wonders should look good to be good...what would this even look like?
Salar de Uyuni - 21
Serengeti - 8
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 22

Also, pardon the interruption...but I recommend adding Mount Rainier and Crater Lake to the next round, if applicable. Both are very beautiful and have historical significance.

Crater Lake is already in game and Mount Rainier was in the first round. Also, there are more of these archs, like El Arco de Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, Moon Hill in China or Pravčická brána in Czech Republic.

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Cueva de los Cristales - (7-3)=4 It's a cave known for underground crystals, how to show that on the map?
Danxia - 22
Delicate Arch 19
Erta Ale - 22
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 22
Iguaçu Falls - (24+1)=25 One of my top two choices for a Waterfall NW

Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 22
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 17
Mammoth Cave - 4

Cueva de los Cristales - 4
Danxia - 22
Delicate Arch 19
Erta Ale - 22
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 19 (22 - 1) In terms of appearance, these seem halfway between Tsigny and a standard mountain wonder. They wouldn't be a bad choice at some point, but probably not for Civ VI.
Iguaçu Falls - 25
Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 22
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 17
Mammoth Cave - 4
Salar de Uyuni - 21
Serengeti - 9 (8 + 1) The world's most iconic grassland.
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 22

 

[Kimiimaro]

Blue Caves (Greece) - 22
Cueva de los Cristales - 4
Danxia - 22+1=23 - It would look interresting in Civ VI's cartoony style.

Erta Ale - 22
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 19
Iguaçu Falls - 25
Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 22
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 17
Mammoth Cave - 4-3=1 - Both Mammoth Cave and Cueva de los Cristales are invisible, but Cueva de los Cristales is more unique. They should both go together. Who will give it the final strike?
Salar de Uyuni - 21
Serengeti - 9
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 22

Delicate Arch 19
Erta Ale - 22
Great Blue Hole - 21

Lake Baikal - 22
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23

Cueva de los Cristales - 4

Delicate Arch 19
Erta Ale - 22 + 1 = 23 I think I have said many times that I want more volcanoes, but it does not hurt to say it again: I want many volcanoes as wonders.
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - 16
Iguaçu Falls - 25
Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 22

Isle of Skye - 20
Kīlauea - 22
Lake Baikal - 22 + 1 = 23 World's deepest lake? Check. World's most voluminous freshwater lake? Check. World's oldest lake? Check. The Chinese considering it the North Sea and among the mythical Four Seas? Check. Surface completely frozen during the winter? Check. Impressive scenery? Check. Economically profitable fishery with the Omul? Check. Putin visited its bottom? Check.
Lambert Glacier - 20
Lençóis Maranhenses - 23
Macocha Gorge - 17
Mammoth Cave - 1 - 3 = ELIMINATED Much of its impressiveness isn't visible from the surface
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Serengeti - 6
Underwater Waterfall - 23
White Desert (Egypt) - 22

 

[Kimiimaro]

@God of Kings, wait, really? Putin visited bottom of Baikal? I know that Putin is really interresting man, but that much?

Delicate Arch 19
Erta Ale - 23
Great Blue Hole - 21
Guilin Mountains - (16+1)=17 It may be a cluster of mountains, but they are very interesting looking ones. Plus, the area was such an inspiration to so many of China's greatest artists.
Iguaçu Falls - 25
Isle of Skye - (20-3)=17 It's a fairly large island to capture perfectly in a NW consisting of a few tiles. Nothing on it really stood out as exceptional to me, but it makes a nice vacation spot.

Macocha Gorge - 17
Salar de Uyuni - 22
Serengeti - 6 - 3 = 3 Not very impressive. Kilimanjaro is what really makes it special, and that is already in-game. It also would look no different than the regular plains tiles.
