Fifth-grade students in North Carolina made some additions to our World’s Greatest Places list. Read a few here. We love hearing from our readers: Write to us at tfkeditors@time.com.

I think Iceland is a great place. It has giant glaciers, volcanoes, northern lights, and a lot of wildlife. It’s an island, and has the most puffins in the world! —Sage

The Great Wall of China is a great candidate. It’s one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is such a beautiful construction. —Audrey

Cancún, Mexico, has the second-largest reef in the world and the bluest ocean I’ve ever seen. There’s so much amazing wildlife, including alligators, sharks, and monkeys. —Andrew

You should consider Stonehenge, in England. I went there last summer, and it was so cool! There’s a hike to get up to the stones. It’s long, but worth it. —Charlotte

TFK should write about Lagos, Nigeria, in Africa. The landforms and beaches are stunning. The culture and vibes there are great. —Addison

One place that should be in a future article is Puerto Rico. It’s a tropical island with coconuts and palm trees. It is iconically beautiful. At Luquillo Beach, the water is so clear it’s see-through. —Yemi
