Mont-Saint-Michel during high tide, Manche, Normandy, France

At sunset, Mont-Saint Michel rises from the waters of Normandy, France, like a fortress shaped by the sea. Perched on a rocky tidal island, the abbey and village stand at the centre of one of Europe's most dramatic coastal settings. Twice a day, the sea retreats to reveal vast stretches of sand before surging back to reclaim the landscape. At high tide, the mount becomes an island once again. For centuries, travellers timed their journeys to this rhythm, crossing the flats when conditions allowed and watching the sea return hours later.

Lesser flamingo flock at sunrise, Lake Magadi, Kenya

Imagine a world without the natural wonders that hold about 90% of Earth's surface freshwater. Lakes are among our planet's most valuable resources. More than 117 million lakes cover nearly 4% of Earth's land surface, yet many face growing pressure from pollution, overuse and climate change.

Auroras over Kirkjufell, Iceland

As darker nights return to Iceland, visitors will soon look to the skies for a chance to see the aurora borealis. Better known as the northern lights, this luminous phenomenon occurs when particles from the sun interact with gases high in Earth's atmosphere, creating shimmering ribbons of green, pink, purple and sometimes red light. Iceland's northern location and increasingly dark autumn and winter nights make it one of the world's premier destinations for aurora viewing.

Sunrise in Redwood National and State Parks, California, United States

The walk begins with a patch of sunlight on the trail, then the redwoods seem to close around the path. Today's image from Redwood National and State Parks in California, USA, shows the scene many visitors remember most: towering trunks, ferns underfoot and moss clinging to fallen wood. The parks take their name from the coast redwood, Sequoia sempervirens, whose thick, reddish bark helps protect it from fire. After decades of extensive logging, Redwood National Park was created in 1968 and later expanded in 1978 to strengthen protection for old-growth forests.

Brooklyn Bridge, New York City, United States

The Brooklyn Bridge doesn't just connect Manhattan and Brooklyn—it bridges history, engineering and a few surprising stories too. Opened in 1883 after 14 years of construction, it became the world's first steel-wire suspension bridge, forever changing the way New Yorkers crossed the East River.

Brown bear fishing in river, Katmai National Park, Alaska, United States

In Alaska, some of the world's wildest wildlife spectacles unfold far from cities and roads. At Katmai National Park, brown bears line the river, and when the salmon jump, the show begins. Created in 1918 after the dramatic 1912 Novarupta volcanic eruption, the park protects more than 16,000 square kilometres of wilderness, including active volcanoes, tundra and salmon-rich rivers.

Common blue butterfly, Devon, England

That quick glimpse of blue fluttering through a field has a story that begins much earlier, with a tiny caterpillar and a surprising survival trick. The common blue is found across Europe, North Africa and parts of Asia, feeding on flower nectar as an adult. It starts life as a small egg, often placed by a female on a host plant such as bird's-foot trefoil. The real surprise comes during its caterpillar stage, when ants play an unexpected role in its survival. After hatching, the caterpillar feeds on leaves before entering the next stage of its transformation. Along the way, it produces a sugary substance called honeydew that ants feed on. As a way of saying thanks, the ants may protect the caterpillar from predators.

Winding road of Julier Pass, Switzerland

Some mountain roads become destinations in their own right, and Julier Pass is one of them. This Swiss mountain pass rises to 2,284 metres and has linked Alpine valleys along a route used for nearly 2,000 years. Its story began long before modern traffic. No guardrails, no pavement—just a route used by Roman travellers, merchants and messengers. Archaeological finds near the summit, including countless coins and two Roman soapstone columns, suggest there was once a sanctuary or stopping place for those tackling the climb.

An orca surfaces in Lynn Canal near the Chilkat Mountains, Alaska, United States

An orca breaks the surface of Lynn Canal against the backdrop of the snow-capped Chilkat Mountains in Southeast Alaska, United States. Also known as the killer whale, the orca is the largest member of the dolphin family and one of the ocean's most recognisable predators. Alaska's Inside Passage provides abundant feeding grounds, sustaining salmon runs and a rich variety of marine life that supports these remarkable animals.

Joshua Tree National Park, California, United States

Where two great deserts meet, Joshua Tree National Park reveals a stark, mesmerising landscape shaped by wind, time and extremes. In Southern California, the higher Mojave Desert merges with the hotter, lower Colorado Desert, creating a unique blend of ecosystems and remarkable biodiversity.

Aerial view of a wildlife crossing near Zakrzów, Poland

Roads have made travel faster for people but created new challenges for wildlife. Highways often cut across their regular migration routes, increasing collisions, fragmenting habitats and isolating animal populations. Wildlife crossings, also known as ecoducts, were developed to reconnect these landscapes. They include vegetated bridges over roads and tunnels beneath them, allowing animals to cross safely while reducing the risk of vehicle collisions. Some of the earliest modern examples appeared in France during the 1950s, while the Netherlands later expanded the idea with wide, green bridges designed to blend into the surrounding landscape.

Three false clownfish in a sea anemone, Cabilao Island, Bohol, Philippines

Location matters. Just ask the false clownfish seen in the image at Lighthouse Reef, near Cabilao Island, Philippines. In these tropical waters packed with hungry mouths and fierce competition, they've secured prime real estate: a sea anemone armed with thousands of microscopic stinging cells.
