Chefchaouen, known as the "Blue Pearl" of the Rif Mountains, is one of the most atmospheric cities in Morocco. Its name comes from a blend of Arabic and Berber—Chef, derived from the Arabic word meaning "to look," and Echaouen, a Berber term for "horns"—together meaning "look at the horns," a reference to the two mountain peaks that rise above the town.Desktop Version

Vale of Clwyd, Wales
Vale of Clwyd, Wales
The Vale of Clwyd lies between the Clwydian hills and the north Wales coast, forming a wide, fertile valley shaped by centuries of human use. Its flat valley floor and rich soils made it ideal for farming, drawing activity here from prehistoric times. Roman routes later crossed the valley, and by the medieval period, agriculture and market towns had become firmly established. Rather than being repeatedly reshaped, the landscape evolved around cultivation, leaving behind a countryside still defined by open fields, rural settlements and long-standing routes through the land.Desktop Version

Lake Superior, Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States
When winter tightens its grip on Lake Superior in Minnesota, United States, the shoreline transforms into a landscape of tilted, glass-like shards known as plate ice. Thin sheets fracture under shifting temperatures, then drift and stack as the wind presses them toward land. The result is a field of translucent blues and silvers, catching the light at sharp angles and making the water"s edge appear sculpted rather than frozen.Desktop Version

A traboule in Lyon, France
A traboule in Lyon, France
In Lyon, France, you don"t just walk through the city—you glide through it. The traboules, a network of hidden passageways threading between courtyards and buildings, turn a simple stroll into a treasure hunt. They were the original shortcuts, allowing residents to dodge rain, carry goods or move discreetly through the medieval quarters. Today, they"re less about practicality and more about discovery. These passages date back to the fourth century but became essential during the Renaissance, when silk traders used them to shuttle delicate fabrics safely from workshops to the river without braving the weather. Later, during World War II, Resistance fighters used the traboules as escape routes.Desktop Version

This subtropical wilderness supports hundreds of species, including alligators, manatees and the endangered Florida panther. On December 6, 1947, the United States established the Everglades National Park, protecting over 600,000 hectares and shifting conservation toward preserving entire ecosystems rather than isolated landmarks.Desktop Version
