"I was cruising in a zodiac along the Antarctic Peninsula when we encountered this adelie penguin walking up a steep iceberg. I quickly composed the photo as we approached the iceberg before veering off past the penguin. I had time for six photos in succession before we passed by the iceberg and cruised through the iceberg-laden waters." – Larry Malvin

A house built on a rock on the Drina River is seen near the western Serbian town of Bajina Basta, about 160 km (99 miles) from Belgrade, on May 22, 2013. The house was built in 1968 by a group of young men who decided that the rock on the river was an ideal place for a tiny shelter, according to the house's co-owner, who was among those involved in its construction.

Lagoa Azul, which translates as “Blue Lagoon” into English, lies past the secluded beaches of Praia das Conchas and Praia dos Tamiraindos on the island of Sao Tome. In addition to being surrounded by giant baobab trees that are full of birds, the lagoon has crystal-clear water teeming with all kinds of marine life. There are few places in the world that are better for a snorkel than here.

Baobab trees are very interesting. I know nothing about them, so why don't you give us a lesson? Have you ever wondered what it looks like inside a volcano? If so, you can descend 120 meters in 6 minutes to reach the floor of the magma chamber at the dormant Thrihnukagigur volcano in Iceland. Jennifer Dombrowski did it and took this picture:

Here's a littel I found on Wiki about them: Adansonia is a genus of deciduous trees known as baobabs. They are found in arid regions of Madagascar, mainland Africa, Arabia, and Australia. The African and Australian baobabs are almost identical despite having separated more than 100 million years ago, probably by oceanic dispersal. Baobabs store water in the trunk (up to 120,000 litres or 32,000 US gallons) to endure harsh drought conditions.

I think I can spot some people hanging out of the openings where doors would normally have been on trains in other countries. In India, they seem to prioritise passenger volume over safety. Imagine suffering from a heat stroke and losing your finger grip while being on that bridge!

There are no roads to Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Visitors arrive by plane or boat to discover a stunning wilderness of snow capped mountain ranges, rich forests, turquoise lakes and incredible wildlife. The size and beauty of Lake Clark is overwhelming, promising the intrepid an experience of a lifetime. Photo by K. Miller, National Park Service.

Seven Sisters Waterfall in Geirangerfjord, Norway. Note the smal farm on the ledge to the right of the falls, where the inhabitants had to use ladders to climb up from a small landing by the fjord. They kept their toddlers in leashes to prevent them from falling off the cliff. Photo rights by cruise-norway.no.
