8th wonder of the world daily mail

You're referring to the "8th Wonder of the World" article published by the Daily Mail!

In 2007, the Daily Mail conducted a poll to determine the "8th Wonder of the World", which was a new addition to the traditional Seven Wonders of the World list. The poll was conducted online and received over 100 million votes.

The winner of the poll was the Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of Australia. The reef is the world's largest coral reef system, stretching over 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles). It's home to an incredible array of marine life, including over 1,500 species of fish, 600 species of coral, and many other creatures.

Here's a quote from the Daily Mail article:

"The Great Barrier Reef, off the coast of Australia, has been crowned the 8th Wonder of the World in a poll of over 100 million people. The 2,300km-long coral reef system, which is home to an incredible array of marine life, has beaten off competition from the Taj Mahal, the Colosseum and the Pyramids to take the top spot."

The article also mentioned that the poll was conducted in partnership with the New7Wonders Foundation, which was responsible for the New7Wonders of the World list, announced in 2007.

It's worth noting that while the Great Barrier Reef is an incredible natural wonder, some people have criticized the poll for being biased towards Western cultural icons and neglecting other important natural and cultural wonders around the world.
