　　这些全世界伟大的自然人文景观，是任何一个勇敢的旅行者一定会列到自己的梦想清单上的。《孤独星球》出版的一本新书列出全球50个必看的自然人文景点，他们的编辑为“每日邮报旅游”频道精选了10大景点：

　　Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe/Zambia

　　维多利亚瀑布，津巴布韦/赞比亚

　　Explorer David Livingstone named the waterfalls of the Zambezi River after Queen Victoria, but locals call them Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning 'the smoke that thunders'. Located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the falls plummet 108m, creating a mist that is visible from 20km away.

　　英国探险家大卫·利文斯通以维多利亚女王的名字命名赞比西河的瀑布，不过当地人称呼它为莫西奥图尼亚瀑布，意为“发出雷鸣声的烟雾”。该瀑布位于津巴布韦与赞比亚的接壤地区，从108米的高度垂直跌落，与地面碰撞后产生的水雾20公里外可见。

　　Great Rift Valley, Ethiopia

　　东非大裂谷，埃塞俄比亚

　　Dallol volcano in the Great Rift Valley - the world's largest rift system which stretches 6,000km from the Red Sea down to Lake Malawi. Up to 74km in places, it's cradled by a series of cliffs, rising from the valley floor to the top of the highest escarpments, up to 1.6km above.

　　东非大裂谷的达洛尔火山是世界上最大的断裂带，从红海到马拉维湖一路延伸长度达6000千米。裂谷的一些地方高达74千米，两侧的陡峭断崖顶部与谷底的高差可达1600米。
