What are natural landmarks?

A natural landmark is a big, special place in nature that people can see and remember because it stands out.

Imagine you're playing outside, and you see a really tall mountain or a huge cave, those are natural landmarks. They’re like the favorite tree in your neighborhood, but much bigger and more amazing! People use them to find their way, just like how you might use a big park or a bright streetlight to know where you are.

Natural landmarks are made by nature, not by people. They can be mountains, rivers, forests, or even islands. Some of them have been around for thousands of years, and people still use them today to help them travel or remember important places.

For example, the Grand Canyon is a natural landmark because it's a huge, colorful hole in the earth that you can see from far away, just like how you might notice your favorite toy from across the room.
