The NCA, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a dramatic and ecologically rich setting for observing these formidable herbivores.Desktop Version

Mar. 27, 2026World Theatre Day

At first glance, there"s no doubt that the interior of Radio City Music Hall pulls you in and cranks up the excitement. It feels like stepping straight into the sun in the middle of New York City—an Art Deco fever dream of how the 1930s imagined the future. This rush of awe is celebrated every March 27 as World Theatre Day.Desktop Version

Mar. 26, 2026Logan Creek Suspension Bridge, West Coast Trail, British Columbia

Running along the remote southwest coast of Vancouver Island, the West Coast Trail is one of the country"s most legendary hikes. Located in British Columbia"s Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, the trail stretches about 76 kilometres through rainforest, beaches and rocky shoreline. It was established in 1907 as a lifesaving route for shipwreck survivors along what sailors once called the "Graveyard of the Pacific."Desktop Version

Mar. 24, 2026Cherry blossoms at East Lake Cherry Blossom Park, Wuhan, China

From above, East Lake Cherry Blossom Park in Wuhan, China, looks like a soft lilac cloud settled gently over the land. Thousands of cherry trees bloom at once, their pale petals forming a living canopy around a golden five-storey pagoda at the park"s heart. The pagoda rises in calm symmetry, its tiered rooflines glowing against the delicate pastels of spring.Desktop Version

Mar. 23, 2026World Meteorological Day

The strength of nature is nowhere more evident than in powerful storms. Scary? Yes. Fascinating? Even more so. Learning to understand and respect these forces helps humanity live more safely.Desktop Version

Mar. 22, 2026World Water Day

Today is World Water Day, declared by the UN in 1992 and first observed the following year. Humanity could no longer drift along—we had to safeguard the very currents that keep us alive. Few places capture that urgency like Lake Tanganyika, in the Great Rift Valley of eastern Africa. From space, it"s a 676-kilometre ribbon linking Tanzania, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia. At the shoreline, it"s a 10-million-year-old rift basin, formed as the Earth"s crust slowly pulled apart.Desktop Version

Mar. 21, 2026International Day of Forests

If Earth had a maintenance crew, forests would be spearheading it. They absorb carbon emissions, reduce soil erosion, safeguard biodiversity, influence rainfall and help maintain clean water supplies. They still cover about 31% of the world"s land area, yet their continued decline shows how vulnerable these natural systems have become. Vast stretches continue to be cleared for agriculture, infrastructure and resource extraction, weakening ecosystems at an alarming rate.Desktop Version

Mar. 20, 2026Spring equinox

A white snowdrop is spring"s quiet debut. No confetti, no countdown—just a delicate flower appearing as the spring equinox balances day and night. Snowdrops are among the first to bloom, often pushing through cold soil before winter fully packs up. Their drooping, bell-shaped flowers may look delicate, but they"re built for early arrival. Special antifreeze proteins in their cells help them tolerate frost, making them well suited to unpredictable late-winter weather.Desktop Version

Mar. 19, 2026Short-beaked echidna, Adelaide Hills, Australia

An egg-laying mammal. No teeth. Reptilian gait. Built-in body armour. If the short-beaked echidna sounds like a checklist of contradictions, that"s because it is—and it owns it. Native to Australia, Tasmania and parts of New Guinea, it"s one of the few surviving monotremes, or mammals that lay eggs. Despite the headlines, it still qualifies as a mammal: it has fur, produces milk and is warm-blooded. The twist? Milk is released through specialised skin patches rather than nipples, leaving the young to lap it up.Desktop Version

Mar. 18, 2026Tom McCall Waterfront Park, Portland, Oregon, USA

Tom McCall Waterfront Park, a roughly 14-hectare urban oasis along the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, is one of the city"s most beloved green spaces. Each spring—typically from mid-March to early April—it transforms into a sea of soft pink and white as cherry blossoms bloom. These vibrant trees along scenic walking paths offer a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. The park also features notable landmarks like Salmon Street Springs, an interactive fountain with numerous water jets and the Portland Saturday Market, a favourite local destination.Desktop Version

Mar. 17, 2026Happy St. Patricks Day!

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Roman Britain around the late 4th or early 5th century. According to legend, at 16, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and brought to Ireland as a slave. After escaping, he returned home and later became a missionary, spreading Christianity across the island. He is famously associated, according to later tradition, with using the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. His legacy of faith has made St. Patrick"s Day a global celebration.Desktop Version

Mar. 16, 2026Spirit Island on Maligne Lake, Jasper National Park, Alberta

This is the kind of landscape that makes maps feel suddenly more interesting. Evening settles quietly over Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta. As temperatures drop, the surface stills, mirroring snow-dusted peaks that formed during the last Ice Age. Stretching about 22 kilometres, the lake owes its existence to glacial movement that carved the valley and left behind meltwater basins. Today, cold, oxygen-rich freshwater sustains ecosystems that include species such as lake trout and mountain whitefish. Boat cruises and paddling routes offer one of the best ways to view Spirit Island, the small but widely photographed landmark featured in the image.Desktop Version

Mar. 15, 2026Pacific Rim Whale Festival

Spring break on Vancouver Island looks a little different. Here, the Pacific Rim Whale Festival celebrates the annual spring migration of thousands of grey whales as they pass close to the island"s west coast. Created by local communities in the 1980s, the festival marks the whales" return north from breeding lagoons in Baja California, Mexico.Desktop Version

Mar. 14, 2026Celebrating Pi Day

Long before pi had a name, people were drawn to its mystery. Every year on March 14, Pi Day highlights one of math"s most recognisable constants. The date reflects the first three digits of pi (π), the ratio of a circle"s circumference to its diameter: 3.14. Pi"s infinite, nonrepeating decimal has fascinated thinkers for a long time. The modern celebration began in 1988, when physicist Larry Shaw marked the day with a fitting tribute: serving pie.Desktop Version

Mar. 13, 2026Church of Notre Dame de Bon-Port, Les Sables-dOlonne, France

Under the vaulted ceiling of Notre-Dame de Bon-Port in Les Sables-d"Olonne, a seaside town in western France, the stone ribs still guide the gaze upward. Construction of the soaring vaults began in 1646. The church—officially recognised as a French historic monument since 1993—stands on the site of a 13th-century chapel, a reminder of deep-rooted spiritual life on the Atlantic coast.Desktop Version

Mar. 12, 2026Juvenile sunbittern displaying at nest, Ecuador

High in Ecuador"s cloud forests, a young sunbittern spreads its wings in an early display, casting flashes of orange, black and white through the filtered green light. The sudden contrast cuts through the moss‑covered branches and leaf‑shadowed understorey, offering a snapshot of the species" dramatic wing patterns. Adult sunbitterns most often show these bold markings during defensive displays, briefly transforming an elusive bird into a striking spectacle.Desktop Version

Mar. 11, 2026Peach trees in Cieza, Murcia, Spain

Spring hits differently in Cieza. It doesn"t gently unfold—it erupts with colour. Between February and March, this small city in Spain"s Murcia region is the epicentre of "La Floración," the flowering of peach trees. In a matter of days, more than 4,856 hectares—Spain"s largest municipal peach production—transform into the sea of colour we see in today"s image.Desktop Version

Mar. 10, 2026Bláhver, Hveravellir, Iceland

Have you ever wondered what happens when fire, ice and time negotiate the same territory? Iceland"s Hveravellir geothermal field has the answer. In this highland hotspot, energy from the Earth"s interior meets the icy surface, triggering a volatile dialogue between pressure, temperature and stone. Fumaroles hiss, steam curls into the air and the ground paints itself with sulphur whites, rust reds and ochre yellows—not only artistry, but chemical reactions driven by extreme heat. In today"s image, Bláhver, a natural hot spring, dazzles in electric blue. Its colour comes from mineral- and silica-rich waters that reflect light on the surface.Desktop Version

Mar. 9, 2026Grey seal sleeping on the beach, Orkney Islands, Scotland

National Napping Day couldn"t be better timed. It falls on the Monday after Daylight Saving Time begins, when clocks move forward and we all lose an hour of sleep. Consider today an official excuse to slow down and make up for it. The sleeping grey seal in this image, spotted along Scotland"s coast, is a fitting reminder for the day: rest matters.Desktop Version

Mar. 8, 2026Daylight Saving Time

Every March, Daylight Saving Time begins across most of Canada, shifting clocks forward by one hour to extend evening daylight. The seasonal change has historically been linked to making better use of natural light and reducing energy use during longer spring and summer days. The idea can be traced back to 1784, when Benjamin Franklin humorously suggested earlier rising to conserve candle use. Most provinces and territories follow the shift, though Saskatchewan and a few communities in British Columbia and Nunavut remain on standard time throughout the year. The time change is known for disrupting sleep patterns, which is why the Monday after the clock change is informally known as Napping Day.Desktop Version

Mar. 7, 2026The Brocken, Harz National Park, Germany

Imagine reaching the Brocken in Harz National Park, Germany, as clouds slide across the ridge. With the sun behind you, mist ahead—then a giant, haloed shadow forms. Ever wondered why climbers once feared this sight? The phenomenon, called the Brocken spectre, is an eerie natural optical effect that occurs when sunlight projects a person"s shadow onto cloud or fog. Rising about 1,141 metres, the Brocken is the highest peak in northern Germany and has long inspired folklore, including tales of witches gathering here during Walpurgis Night.Desktop Version

Mar. 6, 2026The Wave, Vejle, Denmark

Architecture blends art and technology, expressed through the built form. While many designs focus primarily on function, some buildings give equal weight to visual impact. A strong example is The Wave building complex in Vejle, Denmark, where sculptural design and practical housing come together seamlessly.Desktop Version

Mar. 5, 2026Evening over Göreme, Cappadocia, Türkiye

As evening settles over the town of Göreme in the heart of the Cappadocia region of Türkiye, dusk reveals a landscape forged by nature and centuries of human presence. This scene is part of Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1985 for its exceptional combination of early cultural history and geological formations. These formations, often called "fairy chimneys" or hoodoos, began as layers of volcanic ash that hardened into soft stone following eruptions of ancient Anatolian volcanoes. Over time, wind and water carved the pillars, ridges and valleys that define the region today.Desktop Version
