In Newfoundland, at the easternmost tip of North America, the landscape is pristine, dramatic, and very sparsely populated. In summer, icebergs occasionally drift along the steep cliffs. When the "Titanic" collided with an iceberg and sank just 300 miles off the coast of Newfoundland in 1912, the la

Wide open heaths, windswept and barren in winter, are transformed into wonderful carpets of white, fluffy cotton grass in summer.

What would happen to the mountains without water? They would turn into deserts, devoid of life and vegetation. But there are very few mountains without water on our planet. They take care of this themselves, creating their life’s element and taking water directly from the sky by entrapping the cloud

Lofoten is the rugged archipelago in the Norwegian Arctic Ocean. Whoever arrives here is really at the end. Moskenes is the end of the line, and anyone who wants to go further needs a boat or a plane. The only way to get to the open sea is via the Maelstrom, which is quite dangerous. On the outermos

The Congo, mighty and deep like no other river - yet still a retreat and a habitat for several of our world's strangest animals.

Corsica looks like an alpine landscape in the Mediterranean, an island with dramatic rock formations, romantic bays and proud inhabitants who see themselves first and foremost as Corsicans and only then as French.

In the heart of Europe lies Switzerland. It’s a surprisingly big little country: small in area, but big on natural beauty. And, like its many languages and cultures, its scenic diversity is something really special, too: from mighty Alps, dense forests and lush green valleys, to mysterious moors and

A few thousand years ago, there were bare moraine ridges and barren meltwater valleys here. A landscape born in the last ice age, characterized by the edge of the Alps, gentle hills, moors, and lakes. And by cultural richness, not only on the islands in Lake Chiemsee, with their famous monasteries a

Three times in the past two decades, the Chiemsee area has experienced "once-in-a-century" floods. Climate, wildlife, and landscape have changed, and it seems this transformation is accelerating. Species living in the flood zones are developing sophisticated survival strategies. Knot ants, for insta
