To me, the greatest wonders of the world are not in natural Majesty. Since you did not specify if you were asking about THE seven natural wonders as officially listed, or personal observations, here are my seven wonders:
1. New life, Babies, puppies, and kittens expecially.
2. The workings of the human and animal brains that can think and solve problems.
3. The abilty to hold hope and to reach beyond circumstance.
4. A mother's protection and smile, or a Gram's tolerance and smile; the love of both.
5. A father or older brother (or sister's) protection from harm.
6. The way that no matter what, some how, some way things usually work out, no matter how hard we work to make a muck of it.
7. The human capacity to love, protect, and do all that can be done to preserve the rights of other species, when any person becomes aware of how important it is to give rights to all.

Thanks for asking, and leaving the question open...
