8. Heart Shaped Reef

The DJI Mavic 3 Classic is one possible drone to use. Purchase Location: DJI.com Expense: $2,049* It's incredible how nature can occasionally create unexpected landmarks that appear so flawless that they may be man-made. This reef, which is a portion of Australia's Great Barrier Reef in the Whitsunday Islands, is called Heart Reef (obviously). Naturally, the coral composition has taken on the shape of a heart.

This lovely photo may have been captured with a waterproof drone like the DJI Mavic 3 Classic.
