The World's Largest War Memorial Is A Road
When World War I came to an end, a lot of Australians returned home and took up local jobs to support themselves and their families. Some took up laying roads along the coast of Australia. One of the roads, completed in 1932 and spanning a total of 241.402 km (150 mi), became a memorial dedicated to fallen soldiers called the “Great Ocean Road”.
It's the best way to pile up a bunch of blocks and not have them tip over.

#10 some still argue that it's Angel Falls, which is more impressive imo
#14 it should be noted that the "islands" are manmade
#24 called a "recursive" island or lake, there are several. Taal is one, and the biggest is in Canada on Victoria Island but it has no name
#4 mosquitoes lay their eggs in water, not the ground. They hatch and the larvae live in water, until they moult into their adult form
#8 Kentucky is not on the east coast, this post is brutal
#16 Yellowstone was the first American National Park, not natural park
