In the tradition of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, many other lists of wonders have been proposed, including both human feats of engineering and wonders of nature. However, these lists are rather informal, and there is no consensus on any particular list.

The American Society of Civil Engineers compiled another list of wonders of the modern world:
* Channel Tunnel
* CN Tower
* Empire State Building
* Golden Gate Bridge
* Itaipu Dam
* Delta Works

The following list of the top seven tourist travel wonders was compiled by Hillman Wonders:[1]
* Great Pyramid of Giza
* Great Wall of China
* Taj Mahal
* Serengeti Migration
* Galapagos
* Grand Canyon
* Machu Picchu
Natural wonders
Similar to the other lists of wonders, there is no consensus on a list of seven natural wonders of the world, as there has been debate over how large the list should be. One of the many lists was compiled by CNN [2]:
* Grand Canyon
* Great Barrier Reef
* Harbor of Rio de Janeiro
* Mount Everest
* Northern Lights
* Paricutín volcano
* Victoria Falls
Underwater wonders
This list of underwater wonders is of unknown origin but has been repeated sufficiently often to acquire a degree of notability:[3] [4]
* Palau
* Belize Barrier Reef
* Great Barrier Reef
* Deep-Sea Vents
* Galapagos Islands
* Lake Baikal
* Northern Red Sea
