Autumn waterfalls near Sitovo, Plovdiv Province, Bulgaria
In Bulgaria"s Western Rhodope Mountains, autumn leaves gather beside the rushing waters of Sitovo Waterfall. Near the village of Sitovo, southwest of Plovdiv, the falls tumble beneath an old stone bridge whose arch frames the cascades like a storybook scene. Moss-covered stones and pine trees add shades of green to the autumn landscape, while fallen leaves gather along the water"s edge or drift through its pools. The falls become especially lively after rain and during spring snowmelt, when the surrounding woodland echoes with the sound of rushing water.Desktop Version

Green-headed tanager
Green-headed tanager
In much of Brazil, July is synonymous with cold weather, mist and muted tones. The green-headed tanager goes in the opposite direction. Green, blue, turquoise, yellow, black, orange and touches of violet come together on a body just over 13 centimetres long, appearing among the branches like a living argument for extravagance. It is no surprise that it frequently features on lists of the most beautiful birds in the world.Desktop Version

Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) in Wales
If parks could keep birthday diaries, Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) in Wales would have quite the story to tell. The park turns 75 today, marking the anniversary of its designation in 1951. Eryri stretches across 2,130 square kilometres, with nine mountain ranges, 119 kilometres of coastline and habitats ranging from peatlands and native woodlands to upland landscapes. At more than 1,050 metres, Yr Wyddfa is Eryri"s highest point. Nearby, the Carneddau and Glyderau add their own peaks, while Cadair Idris rises in the south. These protected landscapes provide habitats for wildlife and include 17 National Nature Reserves and 56 Sites of Special Scientific Interest.Desktop Version
Medieval Aqueduct, Perugia, Italy
Medieval Aqueduct, Perugia, Italy
Perugia has a walkway with a story beneath every step: its medieval aqueduct. Construction began in 1254, and by around 1280, the aqueduct was carrying water from Monte Pacciano to the Fontana Maggiore in the city centre. The clever bit? Engineers found a way to make the water flow uphill. Using a pressurised conduit, the system overcame the city"s steep terrain—an impressive feat of medieval engineering.Desktop Version

Horseshoe Falls at night in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
Horseshoe Falls at night in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
People have been coming to Niagara Falls, on the Canada-US border, for centuries to admire the view. A few, however, decided admiring it from a safe distance was overrated. In 1901, Annie Edson Taylor climbed into a barrel and became the first recorded person to survive going over the Falls. Others followed with their own stunts, although such attempts are now illegal. The Falls have also inspired artists, filmmakers and musicians, with Hollywood giving them a starring role in "Niagara" (1953), featuring Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotten.Desktop Version
Ammonite fossils from the Jurassic Period
Ammonite fossils from the Jurassic Period
How do we know what Earth looked like long before humans appeared? Fossils provide many clues. Palaeontological discoveries help scientists reconstruct past environments, trace the evolution of life and learn about creatures that vanished millions of years ago. From dinosaurs to tiny marine organisms, these remnants of the past preserve snapshots of ancient worlds that no longer exist.Desktop Version
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
Water seems to be everywhere at Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. Sixteen terraced lakes are linked by a network of waterfalls, streams and cascades that wind through forested limestone canyons. The constantly changing colours of the water, ranging from emerald green to deep blue, are shaped by minerals, sunlight and ever-changing reflections. Established in 1949, Plitvice Lakes is Croatia"s oldest and largest national park. The landscape is famous for its tufa barriers, natural limestone formations created as mineral-rich water deposits calcium carbonate over centuries. These barriers continue to grow and change, gradually transforming the park"s waterfalls and lakes.Desktop Version

View of the Sanguinaires Islands from Corsica, France
View of the Sanguinaires Islands from Corsica, France
Just off the coast of Corsica, France, the Sanguinaires Islands rise from the Mediterranean as a small archipelago of four rugged, rocky islands. Viewed from a historic watchtower, they sit at the entrance to the Gulf of Ajaccio. Steep cliffs, centuries-old landmarks and sweeping sea views have drawn visitors to the area for generations. Though the farthest island lies only about 1.9 kilometres from shore, the archipelago feels surprisingly remote, surrounded by open water and shaped by wind, waves and salt spray.Desktop Version

Puzzlewood, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England
Puzzlewood, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England
What if a forest could keep you guessing at every turn? At Puzzlewood, near Coleford in the Forest of Dean, England, winding paths lead through twisted trees, moss-covered rocks and deep stone ravines. Its unusual rock formations, known as scowles, are natural geological features that were exposed and modified over time and later exploited for iron ore mining during the Roman period and possibly earlier. In 1848, a worker discovered more than 3,000 Roman-era coins hidden in earthenware jars inside a rock cavity, turning the woodland into a real-life treasure hunt.Desktop Version
Danxia landform, Zhangye National Geopark, Gansu, China
Danxia landform, Zhangye National Geopark, Gansu, China
What if a mountain range could show you its geological history in stripes? At Zhangye National Geopark in China, the rocks do exactly that. Designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2020, Zhangye is in Gansu, a region linked to the ancient Silk Road. Here, ridges roll across the landscape in bands of red, orange, yellow, brown and other earthy tones. Known as the Danxia landform, this striking landscape was shaped by layers of sedimentary rock deposited over geological time. Tectonic forces later lifted and folded these layers, while weathering and erosion carved them into ridges, cliffs, gullies and peaks.Desktop Version
Adélie penguins, Antarctica
Adélie penguins, Antarctica
What can a 70-centimetre-tall bird teach us about life? Quite a lot. The Adélie penguin offers a lesson plan packed with resourcefulness, resilience and a little mischief. Found along the Antarctic coast, the species was named after Adèle, the wife of French explorer Jules Dumont d"Urville, during the expedition that encountered the penguins in 1840.Desktop Version
Château de Castelnaud overlooking the river Dordogne, France
Château de Castelnaud overlooking the river Dordogne, France
Castles usually come with towers, walls and at least one dramatic story. Château de Castelnaud in France has plenty of all three, plus medieval weapons. Rising around 150 metres above the Dordogne Valley, this 13th-century fortress commands views towards Château de Beynac and Périgord Noir. Its story is anything but quiet. During the Hundred Years" War, Castelnaud changed allegiance several times before French forces captured it after a three-week siege in 1442. Centuries later, the neglected fortress was used as a stone quarry before restoration began in 1965.Desktop Version

Brown bear in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Alaska, USA
The season of big meals, bigger bellies and stocking up for winter is here. In Alaska, brown bears at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve make the most of the food still available in October. They feed on fish, sedges, berries, roots, clams and other foods to build up fat reserves. Some can weigh more than 450 kilograms before entering their dens for hibernation. That stored fat helps them survive the winter, when they do not eat or drink.Desktop Version
