The new seven wonders of the world

The Statue of Christ Redeemer, Brazil

One-hundred, twenty-five-feet tall and 2,330-feet high, this enormous monument to Christianity gazes down upon Rio de Janeiro. If the allure of the statue isn't enough, the city also is home to one of the seven wonders of the natural world: the harbor at Rio de Janeiro.
