Tale of nature

Seljalandsfoss, Iceland

One of the world’s most beautiful places, Seljalandsfoss in Iceland is a unique waterfall. It pours from a height of 60 meters with a footpath behind it but has a thin cascade. It is rare as it is the one waterfall that you can walk behind and see the mesmerizing beauty. Seljalandsfoss is a part of the Seljalands River, which originates in the volcano glacier named Eyjafjallajökull.

Isla Perro, San Blas, Panama
With more than 1,000 islands floating off its mainland, Panama isn’t short on islands but the San Blas Islands are probably the best looking.

It’s the stuff of all your castaway fantasies. You can spend the night on the island too, at one of 30 camping and glamping sites too.

Space
Seeing the cradle of our existence from orbit is a life-changing experience. It is far more than the mere beauty. The sight feels like the fire-hose of truth about the reality of our tiny planet is pouring into your mind, as you stare enraptured out the window. Weather formation and movement, tectonic plate seams, crater impacts, fires, pollution, roads, farming in deserts, clearcutting of forests, all laid out before you. You feel newly and deeply connected to the small fragile planet.

Tikehau, French Polynesia
Crystal clear, warm waters surround this palm-dotted atoll, home to an abundance of marine life ... from sharks to mantas to striking reefs. Sit with your feet in the sand or peruse for shells while palm trees frame fins cutting through the shallows.
