Retiro Park, Madrid, Spain

Snowfall turns Retiro Park in Spain's capital, Madrid, into a winter postcard, with the Crystal Palace at its centre. Built in 1887 as a glass conservatory for the Philippines Exposition, this elegant iron-and-glass structure was inspired by London's Crystal Palace from the Great Exhibition of 1851. Designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Velázquez Bosco, the pavilion was intended to flood its interior with natural light, a feature that becomes especially striking when winter light filters through snow-dusted panes.

Burns National Heritage Park, Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland

In the charming village of Alloway, just south of Ayr in Ayrshire, Burns National Heritage Park brings to life the world of Robert Burns, Scotland's beloved national poet. At its heart lies the thatched cottage, where Burns was born in 1759, in a clay-built home constructed by his father—now fully restored as part of the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum.

Andermatt village in the Alps, Switzerland

Nestled in the Urseren Valley at about 1,437 metres, Andermatt is a charming Swiss village embraced by the majestic Alps. Long a vital crossroads, it's linked by three iconic passes—Gotthard, Furka and Oberalp—each enhancing its allure as a gateway between regions and cultures.

Sheep grazing in snow, Iceland

When January's chill grips Iceland, locals turn to warmth and tradition with Þorrablót—a midwinter festival rooted in Viking heritage. Named after Þorri, a winter figure from Norse mythology, this celebration began as a sacrificial feast to honour the gods and ensure survival through harsh winters. Today, it's a lively cultural event that blends history with hearty camaraderie.

Karlovy Vary, Bohemia, Czechia

In today's image, winter settles over Karlovy Vary in Czechia, a pastel valley that built its identity around the hot springs rising through its hills. The eponymous city traces its beginnings to accounts of Charles IV, then king of Bohemia (a historic region of Czechia) and later Roman Emperor, encountering a steaming pool here in the 14th century, an early moment that set this quiet part of Bohemia on the path to becoming a spa retreat.

Eurasian red squirrel

Today's image shows a Eurasian red squirrel perched in the snow, highlighting the thick winter coat and distinctive ear tufts that set this species apart. Native to forests across Europe and parts of Asia, red squirrels depend on a varied diet of seeds, nuts, buds and fungi. To prepare for colder months, they scatter food stores across their territory and construct well-insulated nests—called dreys—inside tree hollows or high among branches.

Gentoo penguin, Petermann Island, Antarctica

Penguins thrive in some of Earth's coldest waters. Today's image shows a gentoo penguin beneath a vault of shimmering blue ice, its sharp silhouette etched against the frozen world around it. The gentoo is among the most agile swimmers of all penguins. With strong flippers and a sleek, tapered build, it can navigate icy waters with quick, confident bursts of speed. Its bright bill, bold white head stripe and upright posture make it instantly recognisable, even in colonies where thousands of birds gather along the shore.

Frozen Abraham Lake, Alberta, Canada

The surface looks busy, but everything else is still. White bubbles stack under clear ice as if time stalled halfway through a reaction. Unusual? Yes. Mysterious? Only until you look closer. This is Abraham Lake, the largest reservoir in Alberta, Canada. It is located in the Kootenay Plains area of the Canadian Rockies' front range, where winter captures gas in mid-escape.

White Sands National Park, New Mexico, United States

If 'Frozen' traded ice for sand, the result would look a lot like White Sands National Park in New Mexico, United States—cool, white dunes that deceive the eye at first glance. It was established to protect a rare geological phenomenon: the world's largest gypsum dunefield. These dunes were formed from gypsum crystals that broke down over thousands of years, creating bright waves that stay cool even in summer.

Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco, Brazil

As the sun sinks below the horizon, the sky glows in soft gold, framing two dramatic rock formations that define one of Brazil's most recognisable seascapes. This striking view is of Fernando de Noronha, a remote archipelago in the state of Pernambuco, located about 360 kilometres from the mainland. Formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago, Fernando de Noronha is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its exceptional natural beauty and biodiversity. Its beaches, including Baía do Sancho and Praia do Leão, regularly feature on lists of the world's best. The surrounding waters support spinner dolphins, sea turtles, reef fish and rare seabirds, making the archipelago one of Brazil's top destinations for snorkelling and diving.

Leopard at Etosha National Park, Namibia

If you've ever watched a wildlife documentary, you know the moment: the camera pans across a quiet savannah and suddenly a leopard appears as if it has been there all along. That quiet reveal says everything about how these cats operate. They move with precision, slipping through grass and branches without making a sound. Their build, muscular but lean, helps them climb, sprint and hide in plain sight. Their rosetted coats? No two patterns match, each serving as natural camouflage from sunrise to moonlight.

The fishing village of Reine, Norway

Tucked deep within Norway's Arctic Circle, Reine feels like the kind of place you see on a postcard and assume can't possibly be real. But it is. This small fishing village of about 300 residents is known for its steep mountains, calm fjords and bright red rorbuer—traditional fishermen's cabins—that dot the shoreline. Despite its size, Reine draws thousands of visitors each year.
