Vietnam's Mammoth Cavern
There’s a jungle inside Vietnam’s mammoth cavern. A skyscraper could fit too. And the end is out of sight.

The Unearthly Beauty of Antelope Canyon
The Navajo call it ‘the place where water runs through rocks’ and that is literally true. One of the most unearthly places on the planet, take a look at the astounding Antelope Canyon.<br />
The peculiar formation of a slot canyon can make for an eerie experience and certainly the Antelope Canyon, on the lands of the LeChee people of the Navajo Nation is one of the stranger places you might choose to visit if your budget doesn’t quite run to a space shuttle. The shuttle, though, never lands on alien planets – you can get the experience for very little here on the third rock from the sun. And it is the sun that makes this canyon extra special.

10 Most Fascinating Mazes
The only real maze I've ever gone through is the one at Luray Caverns, and it was easy, yet I still got lost. I can't imagine the fun of a real large, actually hard maze. That'd be a fun afternoon.

Travel photography: The Wave - Los Angeles Times
The Wave is a red-rock stunner on the border of Arizona and Utah, made of 190-million-year-old sand dunes that have turned to rock. L.A. Times photographer Spencer Weiner captured the swirling drama of this little-known formation that's accessible only on foot via a three-mile hike and highly regulated. (To apply for a permit, go to the Bureau of Land Management's Arizona Web page.)

The Big Picture: More of London from above, at night
In August of last year, theBig Picture was happy to be able to share some amazing photos of London, as seen from above at night by photographer Jason Hawkes. That entry continues to be one of the most consistently popular ones ever put together at The Big Picture, so its good news to hear that Jason has another 24 photos from 2008 to share.

6 vertigo-inducing viewing platforms
These platforms are brilliant. Scary, thrilling and gorgeous. I'd go on them in a heartbeat. I think the one I'd like to see the most would be Aurland Lookout in Norway, but they are all just fantastic. Why we don't have more thrill inducing types of views like this I don't know.
