Uros children play near their reed home at Uros island on Lake Titicaca June 24, 2009. The Uros islands are a group of 70 man-made totora reed islands floating on the lake, the world's highest navigable lake at over 4,000 meters above sea level. Lake Titicaca, on the border of Peru and Bolivia, is placed on top on the second phase of an online public poll for the globe's "New 7 Wonders of Nature" campaign.
