Nature's Sweet 16

March Madness is finally here so get out those brackets and make your picks!
No I’m not talking about the college basketball tournament that has workers across the nation glued to their tubes in hopes of winning their office pool. I’m talking about nature’s madness.
I’ve chosen 16 natural wonders, given them seeds, and pitted them against each other in hopes of finding out what nature’s most awe-inspiring creation is. Is it the Grand Canyon? Is it the Great Barrier Reef? What about an F-5 tornado?
Here is my Sweet 16 list of natural wonders:
1) Grand Canyon
2) Niagara Falls
3) Moreno Glacier
4) Victoria Falls
5) Antarctica
6) Amazon Rain Forest
7) F-5 Tornado
8) Mt. Everest
9) Ayers Rock
10) Aurora Borealis
11) Angel Falls
12) Galapagos Islands
13) Sossusvlei Sand Dunes
14) Great Barrier Reef
15) Old Faithful Geyser
16) Cappadocia
You can click the graphic to see the first round matchups and seeding.
So let the games begin! Who do you think should win? What natural wonders of the world did I "snub." Want to give me some advice on who should beat who? Leave a comment and make sure to follow along as I pick "Nature's Top Wonder."

I think you snubbed a cat-5 hurricane. Although gambling is illegal, Keith ;) I'll put my money on Ayers Rock v. Grand Canyon in the final. Two most impressive things I've ever seen.
Looking forward to the tournament, and this weather March Madness.
Keep up the good work.

Keith,
Do you think the Grand Canyon is really the Florida of Weather?
Go Gators!
