A Fatal Skin Disease Afflicting Dolphins Worldwide Has Been Linked to Climate Change

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.

Horsetail Fall – a Firefall in Yosemite National Park, USA

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

15-vuotiaan käsitöissä tekemä pöytä hämmästytti ihmisiä ympäri maailman – kuvat paljastavat syyn

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

The most beautiful Norwegian valley

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

Black Sand Beaches in Iceland

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

Alpinist Organizes A Massive Clean-Up Of Mount Everest, Removes 8.5 Tons Of Rubbish

Some people keep making us believe in the best of humankind with their kindness, effort, and desire to make the world a better place.

In t

A Brief History of the Lahaina Banyan Tree

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

I Photographed Lake Bled On A Fairytale Winter Morning

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
