Can cliffs bubble up?

Fáilte Ireland is urging people to vote by Tuesday to make the Cliffs of Moher one of the “New 7 Wonders of Nature” in a soft-drink marketing campaign. Paul Keeley of Fáilte Ireland says: “7 Wonders status would further raise the profile of this great Irish landmark, and the marketing value alone of such recognition would be priceless.” A top-seven place could increase visitors to the Cliffs of Moher from 1 million to 1.35 million a year, says Fáilte Ireland. Voting is at www.7upfree.ie.
