Plains zebra foal in Etosha National Park, Namibia
Plains zebra foal in Etosha National Park, Namibia
Etosha National Park, Namibia, is not a place for soft starts, and the plains zebra foal in this image seems to get the memo. In a land this vast—nearly 22,300 square kilometres of salt pans and grassland—timing is everything, and hesitation is expensive. Lions, spotted hyenas, wild dogs, cheetahs and leopards constantly pressure the herd—especially the youngest—so zebras are born ready. Minutes after arrival, they"re upright. Hours later, they"re moving.Desktop Version
Pitigliano, Tuscany, Italy
Pitigliano, Tuscany, Italy
Perched on a tufa ridge in southern Tuscany, Italy, Pitigliano is a small town with a big personality. Its roots stretch back to Etruscan times, and the winding streets still echo the past, from medieval fortifications to Renaissance palaces. Walking through its narrow alleys, you can feel centuries of life carved into the stone, while small piazzas invite pauses for coffee or gelato. This enduring treasure is often called "Little Jerusalem" for its historic Jewish quarter, where a synagogue and historic cemetery tell stories of a once-thriving community.Desktop Version

Sarek National Park, Laponia, Lapland, Sweden
If nature had a "do not disturb" sign, it would hang over Sarek National Park, often called "the last European wilderness." This remote corner of Swedish Lapland reminds us what the planet looks like when humans take a step back—and let the wild take the lead.Desktop Version
Buildings on Grand-Place Square in Brussels, Belgium
Buildings on Grand-Place Square in Brussels, Belgium
Few squares in Belgium wear history as well as the Grand Place. The surrounding buildings, seen here, began as guild houses, each funded by a specific trade. Brewers, bakers, merchants and craftsmen treated architecture as language, translating work, status and rivalry into stone through reliefs, coats of arms and generous gold leaf. Styles meet without caution. Gothic verticals rise beside Baroque curves, while the Town Hall, older than its neighbours and unapologetically asymmetrical, holds the composition together.Desktop Version

Butterfly pollinating on yellow flower
Butterfly pollinating on yellow flower
Zoom in on the small interaction that helps keep landscapes alive: a butterfly on a yellow flower, pausing for nectar. While it feeds, pollen dusts its body and hitches a ride to the next bloom—one of the quiet ways flowering plants reproduce. Pollinators are not only bees. Butterflies, birds, bats, beetles and many other animals help move pollen, supporting wild plants and many of the fruits and vegetables people eat.Desktop Version
Tremola Road on the Saint Gotthard Pass in Airolo, Switzerland
Tremola Road on the Saint Gotthard Pass in Airolo, Switzerland
Follow the glowing ribbon of switchbacks and you"ll find one of Switzerland"s most legendary drives: Tremola Road, the historic southern approach to the Saint Gotthard Pass, above Airolo. Built in the early 1800s and largely shaped by a 1951 reconstruction, this route is celebrated as Switzerland"s longest monument to historic road construction. Its showstopper stretch climbs about 299 metres in just 4 kilometres, curling through 24 named hairpin bends on granite cobblestones, with sturdy retaining walls edging the way. Overall, it runs about 11 kilometres and features 37 bends in total. Take it slow—every curve feels like a step back in time, trading speed for sweeping mountain scenery and big views toward the upper Leventina Valley. Whether you"re driving, cycling or pulling over for photos, look for the Grand Tour of Switzerland photo spot framing those iconic zigzags.Desktop Version
Dungeon Provincial Park, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Dungeon Provincial Park, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Today"s image takes us to Dungeon Provincial Park on the rugged coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, where nature tells a much older story. Atlantic waves carved a sea cave with two openings, gradually widening it until the roof gave way. What remains is a striking collapsed formation known as a "gloup," surrounded by steep cliffs and crashing surf.Desktop Version

Spectacled bear resting in tree, Ecuador
The spectacled bear, also known as the Andean bear, is the only South American bear of the Ursidae family. Inhabiting the northern and central Andes Mountains, it dwells primarily in forested areas and feeds mainly on shoots and fruit. Pale markings around the eyes often resemble eyeglasses, or "spectacles," giving the species its distinctive name.Desktop Version
Atlantic puffins, Wales
Atlantic puffins, Wales
Along the rocky coasts of the North Atlantic, Atlantic puffins make their homes in burrows and cliffside crevices. These seabirds, with their black‑and‑white plumage and colourful beaks, are classified by the IUCN as vulnerable, as overfishing and changing ocean conditions reduce the availability of their prey. Each spring, they return to breed, laying a single egg in carefully dug burrows. Remarkable swimmers, they use their wings to "fly" underwater when hunting small fish such as herring and sand eels.Desktop Version
Arch and Milky Way, Alabama Hills, Sierra Nevada, California, USA
Arch and Milky Way, Alabama Hills, Sierra Nevada, California, USA
In today"s image, the granite arches of the Alabama Hills frame the Milky Way over a rugged landscape in California"s eastern Sierra Nevada, United States. Famous for its rounded boulders and weathered rock formations, this area formed when molten rock cooled deep underground around 100 million years ago. Water and wind gradually shaped the stone into the smooth shapes seen today. Visitors can explore the natural arches, hike among the rocks, capture photographs of the unique landscape, ride horses or mountain bikes and enjoy seasonal displays of wildflowers.Desktop Version

Moon and Earth captured by the Artemis II crew
Moon and Earth captured by the Artemis II crew
From the moon"s cratered surface, Earth can appear as a thin, glowing crescent against the darkness—a rare view that reverses our usual perspective. This stark landscape, shaped by billions of years of impacts, preserves a record of the early solar system. Earlier this year, Artemis II became the first crewed mission to fly around the moon since 1972. Its successful 10-day journey tested the Orion spacecraft and other systems that will support future lunar missions.Desktop Version

Lime Kiln Lighthouse on San Juan Island, Washington state, USA
Ships, storms and changing technology have come and gone, but the light remains. On Washington"s San Juan Island, Lime Kiln Lighthouse has overlooked Haro Strait since 1919. Perched on a rocky bluff, its white flash continues to guide vessels through one of the Pacific Northwest"s most important inland waterways. The lighthouse stands within Lime Kiln Point State Park, widely regarded as one of the world"s best places to watch wild orcas from shore, with whales sometimes passing remarkably close to the coast.Desktop Version
Sunset in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, United States
Sunset in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, United States
Layered ridges stretch across Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Their bands of pink, grey and gold shift with the light as eroded peaks and valleys come into view. Wind and water continue to shape this terrain, steadily wearing away soft sedimentary rock and exposing millions of years of Earth"s history in layers formed by ancient rivers, volcanic ash and periods when shallow seas covered the region.Desktop Version
Arched iceberg, western Antarctic Peninsula, Southern Ocean
Arched iceberg, western Antarctic Peninsula, Southern Ocean
A sculpted arch of ice rises from the Southern Ocean along the Antarctic Peninsula, one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth. This formation began as compacted snow that turned into glacial ice over thousands of years. Eventually, part of a glacier or floating ice shelf fractured and broke free—a process known as calving—creating a drifting iceberg.Desktop Version
Syracuse, Sicily, Italy
Syracuse, Sicily, Italy
Founded by Greek settlers from Corinth around 734 BCE, the Italian city of Syracuse, on the island of Sicily, grew into one of the ancient Mediterranean"s great powers and is now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, "Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica." It is forever linked to Archimedes, whose genius still shapes its identity, and to Plato, who came to Syracuse hoping philosophy might shape political life. That layered past still feels tangible at Castello Maniace, a seafront fortress built for Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in the 13th century, which can still be admired today.Desktop Version
Pedra Furada, Jericoacoara, Brazil
Pedra Furada, Jericoacoara, Brazil
Some landscapes are shaped not by people, but by the steady forces of nature over thousands of years. That"s exactly the story of Pedra Furada in Jericoacoara, in the Brazilian state of Ceará. Wind and sea gradually carved this natural arch, which has become one of the region"s most recognisable landmarks. Located within Jericoacoara National Park, the arch stands along the coast and frames the Atlantic Ocean. From July into early August, visitors gather to watch its most famous spectacle, when the setting sun aligns with the opening in the rock, shining through it for a few minutes before dipping below the horizon.Desktop Version
Mallard duck
Mallard duck
At daybreak, the mallard glides over the still water like a brush across a canvas. Its shimmering plumage—emerald-green head in the male, speckled brown coat in the female—catches the first light. It can be seen from the marshes of the Camargue to the urban canals of Amsterdam, a faithful companion of Europe"s aquatic landscapes.Desktop Version
Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy
Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy
Vernazza is a small seaside town in Cinque Terre, in Italy"s Liguria region. Built around the area"s only natural harbour, it has long been tied to the sea. First recorded in 1080 as a fortified settlement and maritime base, it later became part of the Republic of Genoa"s coastal defences. To this day, the village preserves its past in the ruins of Doria Castle and the watchtowers overlooking the bay. At the water"s edge stands the Church of Santa Margherita d"Antiochia, first mentioned in 1318 and expanded in later centuries, with a bell tower overlooking the port. Above the houses and narrow lanes, steep terraces support vineyards and olive groves, shaped by generations of stonework in a landscape protected within Cinque Terre National Park, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture an aperitivo here: a glass of local white wine, the harbour in view and Ligurian favourites like focaccia and basil pesto—basically a postcard you can taste.Desktop Version
