European bee-eater, Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, Cádiz, Spain
European bee-eater, Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, Cádiz, Spain
A streak of colour glides past a blur of wildflowers as a European bee-eater cuts through the air. Turquoise, gold and chestnut shimmer across its wings as it hunts in flight, snatching insects mid-air with swift turns. Bees and wasps are among its favoured prey, and the bird often removes the stinger before feeding—a behaviour that reduces the risk of injury.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
World Sea Turtle Day
World Sea Turtle Day
Sea Turtle Day highlights some of the ocean"s most ancient mariners—reptiles that have existed for over 100 million years. Observed each year on June 16, it raises awareness of their ecological importance and the growing threats they face. Sea turtles play a vital role in maintaining healthy seagrass beds and coral reefs, ecosystems that support diverse marine life. Long migrations between feeding and nesting areas are central to their life cycle. Despite their resilience, all species are threatened by habitat loss, plastic pollution, climate change and accidental capture in fishing gear.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

Aerial view of the ruins of Sacsayhuamán, Cusco, Peru
Set high above Cusco in Peru, Sacsayhuamán reveals the ambition of the Inca Empire in stone. Built in the 15th century, this vast complex once formed part of the sacred capital of the Incas. From above, the layout becomes clear: terraces, open plazas and the remains of towers forming a carefully planned citadel. The largest walls, built from enormous blocks, still stand strong today. Some stones rise more than 8.2 metres tall and were fitted together so precisely—without mortar—that the structure has endured centuries of earthquakes.Desktop Version
Mount Fuji on Honshu Island, Japan
Mount Fuji on Honshu Island, Japan
Mount Fuji, Japan"s highest mountain, rises to 3,776 metres on Honshu Island, about 97 kilometres southwest of Tokyo. Its near-perfect cone is a volcano—dormant since its last eruption in December 1707 yet still classed as active. That last major event is known as the Hōei eruption. It blasted ash and other tephra across eastern Japan, reaching Edo (today"s Tokyo). Beyond geology, Fuji has long been treated as a sacred landscape and a destination for pilgrimage climbs, reflecting how nature, religion and daily life overlap in Japan. That enduring cultural appeal is one reason it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013 as "a sacred place and source of artistic inspiration." Fuji is famously visible from far away on clear days but never guaranteed—clouds can hide it in minutes. Whether you hike it or just catch a glimpse from a train window, it still feels like Japan"s signature on the horizon.Desktop Version
