England’s Jodrell Bank Observatory, which houses some of theworld’s leading radio astronomy telescopes, is an exciting addition. Other interesting landmarks include natural sites suchas Iceland’s Vatnajökull National Park, cultural sites like the historic city of Sheki in Azerbaijan, and the archaeologicalruins of Liangzhu City in southeast China.
