TV show to name seven U.S. wonders
STORY TOOLS 
More from TravelNEW YORK — ABC's "Good Morning America" has assembled a panel of experts to name the seven wonders of the United States.
The destinations, which will include natural landmarks as well as man-made wonders, will be announced one at a time over the course of seven shows, with the first one airing May 5 and the final one airing May 13. Each show will include a segment about the wonder, reported live from the destination by one of the show's anchors — Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts, Chris Cuomo and Sam Champion — and three other ABC News anchors or correspondents.
Experts deciding the seven U.S. wonders are Annie Griffith Belt, a National Geographic Society photographer; Brent D. Glass, director of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History; Michael Roberts, executive editor of Outside Magazine; Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History; Patricia Schultz, author of "1,000 Places to See Before You Die," and travel guidebook writer and editor Pauline Frommer.
In November 2006, "Good Morning America" and USA Today teamed up to name the seven wonders of the world. The wonders were Jerusalem's Old City, Mayan pyramids in Central America, the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument, the polar ice caps, Tibet's Potala Palace/Jokhang Temple, the wildlife migration on the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Internet.
