Alam-Pedja Nature Reserve in Tartu County, Estonia
Alam-Pedja Nature Reserve in Tartu County, Estonia
Take Alam-Pedja Nature Reserve in Estonia—what makes it so special? Established in 1994, it protects one of the country"s largest and most intact wetland systems, where rivers like the Pedja and Põltsamaa still flow freely. The 342-square-kilometres reserve is a haven for wildlife. Moose roam the wetlands, lynx move through dense forests and rare birds such as the black stork and lesser spotted eagle nest in its quieter corners. With limited human settlement, much of the area remains untouched—no large-scale farming, no urban spread. Seasonal flooding reshapes the landscape, renewing habitats and sustaining rich biodiversity year after year.Desktop Version
Beaver
Beaver
The beaver—buck-toothed, paddle-tailed and famously industrious—has been reshaping freshwater landscapes for millions of years. With their iron-reinforced orange incisors, these skilled rodents cut down trees and build dams that slow the flow of water, improve its quality and create wetlands that support a remarkable diversity of life. Their sturdy lodges, made of branches and mud, have underwater entrances that protect them from predators and keep their families safe.Desktop Version

Polar bears in Wapusk National Park, Manitoba, Canada
Captured in Wapusk National Park in northern Manitoba, Canada, today"s image shows a polar bear mother and her cubs sharing a playful moment on the Arctic tundra. For polar bears, motherhood is a long and demanding commitment. Females give birth in winter, sheltering their newborn cubs in snow dens that provide vital insulation. Cubs are born tiny and rely entirely on their mother"s rich, fat-heavy milk for warmth and rapid growth.Desktop Version
European hedgehog, France
European hedgehog, France
Spring arrives with a small, spiky ambassador: the European hedgehog, spotted here in France. Part cuddle, part survival gear, this tiny forager is mostly nocturnal and usually solitary, guided mainly by smell and sound. Its job description is simple: roam, sniff through leaf litter and vacuum up invertebrates like worms, beetles, slugs and caterpillars—the kind of snacks that keep ecosystems running and gardeners smiling. When danger shows up, it doesn"t negotiate or flee. It curls into a tight ball and lets its spines do the talking.Desktop Version

Bumble bee pollinating, Worcester, England
Bumble bee pollinating, Worcester, England
A soft buzz and a dusting of pollen can shape the future of our food. Today"s image features the bumble bee during its quiet yet essential work. Unlike many insects, bumble bees use "buzz pollination," vibrating their flight muscles to shake pollen from flowers—a method vital for crops such as tomatoes, peppers and blueberries. Bees and other pollinators contribute to more than 75% of the world"s major food crops, improving both yield and quality.Desktop Version
Highway through Xitai Jinaier Lake, Qinghai Province, China
Highway through Xitai Jinaier Lake, Qinghai Province, China
Cutting a surreal path through the high-altitude deserts of western China, Xitai Jinaier Lake (also known as West Taijinar Lake) is a striking salt lake in the remote Qaidam Basin. A stretch of National Highway 315 runs directly across its shallow waters, creating the illusion of a road floating between two worlds. On one side, the water often appears deep blue; on the other, a softer green hue, a contrast shaped by differing mineral concentrations in the brine.Desktop Version
Millau Viaduct, France
Millau Viaduct, France
Above the Tarn Valley, the Millau Viaduct seems to brush the sky. At 343 metres, its highest pylons rise taller than the Eiffel Tower. At dawn, light mist often drifts between the hills of the Larzac plateau and Aveyron, wrapping steel and concrete in an almost unreal softness. From some viewpoints, the bridge can appear to float above the clouds rather than standing upon them.Desktop Version
Common clownfish in a sea anemone, Raja Ampat Islands, Indonesia
Common clownfish in a sea anemone, Raja Ampat Islands, Indonesia
Sea anemones may look like underwater flowers, but they"re actually animals—close relatives of jellyfish and corals. Anchored to rocks or reefs, they use a sticky base and a crown of waving tentacles armed with tiny stingers to capture passing prey. Those stings can paralyse small fish, yet one famous neighbour is immune.Desktop Version

International Space Station
International Space Station
Look up on a clear night and a bright moving star might actually be the International Space Station. That spirit of exploration lives on aboard the ISS, a laboratory where Earth never quite leaves the view. From the space station, astronauts photograph glowing city grids, curling auroras and lightning storms streaking through the atmosphere. The station orbits about 400 kilometres above Earth and circles the planet every 90 minutes, delivering up to 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.Desktop Version
Oloupena Falls, island of Molokai, Hawaii, United States
Oloupena Falls, island of Molokai, Hawaii, United States
Moloka"i, often called the most Hawaiian of the islands, offers a slower rhythm shaped by nature and strong community ties. Formed by volcanic activity more than a million years ago, the island covers about 670 square kilometres and rises from the Pacific Ocean in long ridges and broad valleys. Unlike its busier neighbours, Moloka"i has resisted large-scale development, preserving a strong sense of local cohesion where families, traditions and stewardship of the land encapsulate central values. Life here focuses on the ocean, the land and stories passed down through generations.Desktop Version
Przewalskis horses
Przewalskis horses
This species missed the domestication memo and kept going on its own terms. Say hello to Przewalski"s horse, considered the last truly wild horse on Earth. Once widespread across Central Asia, it disappeared from the wild in the 1960s after decades of hunting, habitat loss and competition with livestock. Its survival depended on an unlikely lifeline: a small number of individuals captured by early 20th‑century collectors, which became the foundation of all modern Przewalski"s horses.Desktop Version
Armbrug bridge, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Armbrug bridge, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Some bridges in Amsterdam just get you across a canal. The Armbrug does more—it seems to wave hello as you pass. Nestled over the Oudezijds Voorburgwal canal, its name, meaning "arm bridge," refers to the nearby Oudezijds Armsteeg (Old Side Arm Alley), not a literal limb, but it"s easy to imagine it greeting cyclists and pedestrians along the way.Desktop Version

Logan Creek Suspension Bridge, West Coast Trail, Canada
Running along the remote southwest coast of Vancouver Island, the West Coast Trail is one of the country"s most legendary hikes. Located in British Columbia"s Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, the trail stretches about 76 kilometres through rainforest, beaches and rocky shoreline. It was established in 1907 as a lifesaving route for shipwreck survivors along what sailors once called the "Graveyard of the Pacific."Desktop Version
Purple crocus flowers, Seven Rila Lakes, Bulgaria
Purple crocus flowers, Seven Rila Lakes, Bulgaria
As winter"s grip on the Rila Mountains of southwestern Bulgaria begins to loosen, crocuses push through the thinning snow, signalling the arrival of spring in the country"s highest mountain range. These early bloomers use stored nutrients to quickly grow in cold conditions, completing much of their life cycle before taller plants emerge. Their clustered blossoms unfurl over alpine meadows in sweeping purple ribbons, creating a striking contrast with bright snowfields and crisp morning light.Desktop Version
Wildflower bloom, Central Valley, California, United States
Wildflower bloom, Central Valley, California, United States
Spring announces itself across California"s Central Valley with the first bursts of wildflowers following the winter rains. Stretching about 720 kilometres from north to south and covering approximately 51,800 square kilometres, the valley is one of the world"s most productive agricultural regions. In early spring, however, an older identity briefly resurfaces. From March through April, native annuals such as goldfields, tidy tips and owl"s clover quickly germinate once temperature and soil moisture are optimal. They race to complete their life cycles before the long dry season begins.Desktop Version
