Taken in June at the start of the Arctic Summer on Svalbard, the snow on the mountains around Longyearbyen on Spitsbergen has started to melt and much of the surrounding ground is now covered in melted snow and ice water. Silence and a cloudless sky create a sense of solitude and isolation in this unforgiving and rugged Arctic landscape. The mountain beckons adventurers to explore its rugged terrain and embrace the pure, untouched wilderness. Image taken 8th June 2023 Nikon D780 and Nikon 28-

All I can think of when I see this photo is how cold my feet were when I took it! I decided not to inundate my boots, so instead waded into the glacial Matukituki River barefoot. The pins and needles had me dancing on the bank for minutes afterward!

There's a great hike to take if you visit Lake Louise, in Banff National Park, but it's not to Lake Louise. High to the right of the lake resides a hidden, hanging valley that contains the beautiful Lake Agnes. Your climb up to the lake is rewarded by not only the view but also the wonderful tea house that's located there. There's no road to the tea house, and the staff bring up everything that is needed each day in backpacks. However, they do offer a wonderful selection of teas. Now more about the image. It was captured in the late afternoon, the Sun had already set in the valley, so the view was infused with the soft blue light from the deep blue sky. All was calm, not a ripple on the lake, and the view of the mountains was spectacular.

Mammals of the Pleistocene era. Artwork showing wildlife believed to have existed in the Northern Iberian Peninsula during the Upper Pleistocene era (125,000 to 10,000 years before present). These include horses (Equus caballus, left), woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius, centre) and a woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis, right). At centre right, cave lions (Panthera leo) are eating a reindeer (Rangifer tarandus).

Not far from where the gigantically-wheeled Ice Explorer bus stops on the Athabasca Glacier is this rapidly running river. Apparently, there never used to be running water on top of the glacier, but now there is so much melted ice running below the glacier that this water had nowhere else to go. It made for a gorgeous -- but sad -- sight.

This is a view of Moraine Lake, in Banff National Park, Alberta. To say that the scenery is stunning would be an understatement, it is out of this world, fabulous. So much so, that at one time this scene was featured on the back of the $20 Canadian bill. Time has moved on and the design of the bill has changed but Moraine Lake remains just as beautiful.
