Geologic Wonders
Oddee has compiled a list of "10 Geological Wonders You Didn't Know." I was pretty excited when I saw the first was indeed one I had never heard of: The Wave (between Arizona and Utah - USA)... Gorgeous! However, as it turns out, there were only two others that were new to me, Hell Gate in Uzbekistan, and Wave Rock in Australia. Engaging pictures, but in my judgement, I wouldn't trust the accuracy of the descriptions there.
I can attest to The Wave, really called Coyote Buttes, in Grand-Staircase Escalante National Monument. But beware, there is a strict permitting/lottery to see Coyote Buttes. You must plan ahead and have alternate plans in case you don't get picked in the lottery. https://www.blm.gov/az/paria/index.cfm?usearea=CB
