Mount Roraima, Venezuela
(9,220ft/2,810m)
Towering above the clouds, the majestic Mount
Roraima is a natural border between Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana in South
America. Around two billion years old, the flat-top mountain is considered to
be among the oldest in the world. It's also the highest tepui (South American
table-top mountain) on the continent. The otherworldly looking natural wonder
is said to be the inspiration behind the plateau with dinosaurs and
ape-men in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel The Lost World.
