National Geographic Kids (AU/NZ)
UNDERWATER SCULPTURE PARK • Take a trip to Grenada in the Caribbean and visit an art gallery like no other. The world’s first underwater sculpture park can be found just off Molinere Bay on the island’s west coast. This unique attraction is best viewed when wet, so grab your scuba or snorkel gear and jump into the warm Caribbean Sea.
CHIMNEYS • You’re in Cappadocia, in Turkey. It’s early in the morning — before sunrise — and the excitement is building. You hear a roar and the darkness is lit up by a burst of flames.

A small section of this underground world is open to the public — the Denfert-Rochereau Ossuary, or as it’s more commonly known, the Catacombs. These caves are not your average tourist attraction though — the Catacombs are actually a huge underground grave!
