Aogashima
This island in the Izus in Japan looks neat. The volcanic terrain goes up and down in quite interesting ways, and many dramatic viewpoints seem to exist on the island.
Taal Lake
Taal Lake in the Philippines includes a volcanic island that seems to stand out as a highlight of the scene.

American Gothic House
Seems like a house that was featured in American Gothic, that famous painting. The house is in southern Iowa, and seems to have its own visitor center. Neat :)
Sani Pass
A lovely-looking mountain pass on the Lesotho-South Africa border. A very twisty road goes here, which looks neat, but the surrounding terrain looks beautiful.

Kerr Dam
Kerr Dam of the Flathead Lake area in Montana has some very pretty landscapes surrounding it. I'd especially like to enjoy the grassy spots.

Callanish Stones
The Callanish Stones is a famous and likely ancient landmark on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Looks similar but more impressive than Stonehenge.
Inishnabro
Looks like another pretty island, but the "Cathedral Rocks" seem like the main star attraction here. The rocks on the island coast appear to do some really neat geologic thing or whatever, making for a fanastic-looking structure resembling a castle or cathedral. Looks quite grand.
Skelligs
The Skellig Islands in southwestern Ireland look weird and amazing. The shapes here are sharp, thin, and look like a fantastical place to be.
Mizen Head
This is a scenic location along Ireland's rocky southern coast. There's a bridge here, and the views around that look stunning.
Les Minquiers
These basically unpopulated islands (except for temporary residents, perhaps) seem to be part of Jersey, and appear to be the southernmost part of the British Isles. Many are quite tiny; many rocky; some sandy stuff. It looks like quite an intriguing place to visit.
They might also be known as Les Ecrehous, but I could be mistaken.

Unst
This island appears to be the northernmost populated place in the United Kingdom (including all their overseas stuff, whether or not it's actually part of the "United Kingdom"), and the actual northernmost point in the U.K. is closeby as well, near a place called "Muckle Flugga" I think. The scenery in Unst includes rolling hills, seaside cliffs, beaches, and lochs. Looks very pretty, especially around the Hermaness area in the north.
