Ultimate World Landmark Tournament

The Easter Island statues for me here.

They're so intriguing, much more to learn about than a mountain (even if it is a very beautiful, very impressive, mountain!)

Easter Island Maoi (Chile
They are fascinating and iconic

Banff National Park (Canada)



VS

Ghengis Khan Statue (Mongolia)

Ghengis Khan Statue (Mongolia)

Park is gorgeous but going for the mean imposing statue

Tauriel

Banff National Park (Canada)

Nature at it's best

HeidiHeidi

Nature vs Manmade this time!

I'll have to go for the statue in this one, as more of a "landmark" than an entire national park that's nearly 10% the size of ireland!

Ghengis Khan Statue
We have a few similar parks in this but no other giant Ghengis Khan Statue, that thing looks massive

I voted for statues over nature last time. I'll change that here. Banff is much more than just a mountain. The Chinggis Khan statue isn't as mysterious as the maoi.

No easy ties at all this round (apart from Norway v Saudi), but Banff for me here

Ghengis Khan Statue

It's mahoosive!!

Tower Bridge (United Kingdom)



VS

St Peter's Square (Vatican City)

HeidiHeidi

St Peter's Square for me, both as a landmark of that country, and a spectacle in its own right. Even though it's anything but square!

Electric Nitwit

Oh, nice timing to drop in

Tower Bridge guvnor, it's proper sound innit?
A square? An empty space? Gimme a break mate

Purgative

I'm back.


Tower Bridge, its a better landmark. Have only ever seen it raised once but its something.

ChannelNo5

Yeah gotta be tower bridge

cdeb

Never a big fan of a big square. St Peter's, Red Square, Tiananmen - good, but not great. Too open and a little bit uninteresting really

So I'll go with Tower Bridge here.

St Peter's Square. Just because I associate it with Christmas as the Pope's greeting was always on the TV in our house every Christmas Day.

Pristina National Library (Kosovo)


VS

Victoria Falls (Zambia)

cdeb

I thought this was easy to start, but that library is weirder the more you look at it.

But the falls are spectacular, so I'll vote for them
