September 4, 2020 Jim Byers

A website called saveonenergy.com recently checked out the most Instagrammed natural sites around the world. And there were a few surprises.

Yosemite National Park in California topped the natural wonders list with roughly five million Instagram hashtags.

Niagara Falls, Ontario was second with a little more than 4.6 million hashtags posted this month.

The bronze medal went to another North American wonder, the Grand Canyon, which had roughly 4.1 million hashtags.

I gotta admit I’ve never heard of Pamukkale, Turkey, but the photos (it’s an area rich with minerals, and features cool geographic formations) are pretty nice.
