NATURE. Land of the Falling Lakes | PBS
by WilfredWalnut12
In the heart of Croatia lies an untouched landscape where green forests lie between steep chalk cliffs and gorges and a chain of lakes flows one into another across natural dams and a thousand waterfalls. Tune in to see wolves, wild boar and bears roam as they have done for centuries.

APOD: 2003 August 31 - The View from Everest
by lynnhz
(via)
What would it be like to stand atop the tallest mountain on Earth? To see a full panoramic vista from there, scroll right. Visible are snow peaked mountains near and far, tremendous cliffs, distant plateaus, the tops of clouds, and a dark blue sky. Mt. Everest stands 8.85 kilometers above sea level, roughly the maximum height reached by international airplane flights, but much less than the 300 kilometers achieved by a space shuttle.
St Kilda - National Trust for Scotland World Heritage Site
by Morgaine
The archipelago of St Kilda, the remotest part of the British Isles, lies 41 miles (66 kilometres) west of Benbecula in Scotland's Outer Hebrides. Its islands with their exceptional cliffs and sea stacs, form the most important seabird breeding station in north-west Europe. The evacuation of its native population in 1930 brought to a close an extraordinary story of survival.
This site tells that story and also explains activities taking place today in this special place.
