They're among the most popular and captivating animals in the ocean – a creature that delights at every splash or glimpse. And many are dying. A deadly skin condition, first noted in dolphins near New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, has now been formally identified by scientists. 'Freshwater skin disease', as researchers define the pathology in a new study, has afflicted coastal c

Horsetail Fall, Yosemite National Park, USA. The waterfall is seasonal – it only falls in winter and spring. But the unique effect – when the setting sun illuminates the waterfall and makes it look like fire – is even rarer. The photographers who want to picture the Firefall have to be very patient, because the weather conditions can change and obstruct the sunset. They also look for the
The azure blue alpine lakes in Canada are the most gorgeous and easily recognized the world over. Here, you will rapidly find the door open to a host of outdoor activities, rather than trying to do something in the big cities. The 36 national parks of the country are brimming with natural beauty, amidst a background of its world-famous lakes. The Great Lakes system alone is said to be the large
1. 14 Huivi, puinen voiveitsi, leikkuulauta ja seinäkello – ne ovat kaikki esineitä, joita jokainen meistä on varmasti päässyt koulun käsityötunnilla valmistamaan ja sitten tuomaan ylpeänä kotiin lahjaksi vanhemmilleen vuosien varrella. Käsityötuntien tuotokset voivat kuitenkin olla myös tätä luovempia, jos vain antaa oman mielikuvituksen laukata vapaana ja omaa tarpeeksi k
Oh, these trolls again Old. Grey. Hairy. Trees growing on their heads. Yes, they are everywhere, yet nowhere to be seen. Or...? In Norwegian folklore the trolls keep their spot on the centre stage, and they play an important role in our travels. Souvenir shops are even full of them. You can buy little figurines, postcards and any item you can think of with a troll theme. And every tiny little
Iceland isn’t called the Land of Ice and Fire for nothing. An abundance of both glaciers and volcanoes gives us two extremes to study and wonder over. Because Iceland was solely formed by volcanic eruptions, all of its rock is black or red. Most of the country’s surface is an empty landscape of lava fields, stretching for miles, covered only by Icelandic moss. And because the country is so you
Some people keep making us believe in the best of humankind with their kindness, effort, and desire to make the world a better place. One of those people is Marion Chaygneaud-Dupuy who won the 2019 ‘Terre de Femmes’ award given out by the ‘Fondation Yves Rocher’ for her work in helping clean up Mount Everest from the tons and tons of trash left behind by the people climbing it. In t
Dominating the courthouse square in downtown Lahaina is one of the most remarkable aboreal specimens. One quarter of a mile in circumference, its octopus-like limbs stretch outward, spreading a vast network of branches, leaves and aerial roots towards the streets and buildings surrounding it. Extraordinary, almost surreal, it seems more like a fantastic prop from a Tim Burton film than a organism
As you probably all know by now, Bled is one of the most beautiful places in Slovenia that draws about one million visits each year. Most choose to visit Bled in spring or summer, but, in my opinion, the most beautiful time to visit is in winter, on a clear day after the snow. Unfortunately, days like these were not very frequent in the last few winters. So I was very happy when finally the weath
During my travels throughout the world, I would rank New Zealand as my favorite place on Earth, the sights and wonders of the South Island have to be seen to be believed. Hidden beaches, grand mountain vistas, spectacular lakes and rustic buildings all add to the charm of this paradise. These images I captured during my year spent travelling in this amazing country try to encapsulate the beautifu
