Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area lies about 17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip, where the Mojave Desert rises into sandstone cliffs, rugged mountains, and broad desert valleys. Nevada’s first National Conservation Area, it covers nearly 198,000 acres and provides a sharp contrast to the developed landscape of Las Vegas. The area is best known for its red and cream-colored rock formations, especially the Calico Hills and the Red Rock escarpment.

Whether witnessing the thunderous calving of Dawes Glacier, spotting orcas gliding through the water, or simply taking in the serenity of the fjord, a journey through Endicott Arm is a remarkable encounter with one of Alaska’s most stunning landscapes.

Chyulu Hills National Park lies in southeastern Kenya between Amboseli and Tsavo, forming a long range of volcanic hills covered by grassland, shrubland, and patches of montane forest. The hills rise from the surrounding plains and are shaped by relatively recent volcanic activity, with lava flows, cones, caves, and other geological features visible across the landscape.

Heron Island is a true coral cay right on the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can swim straight off the beach to an endless garden of coral where the waters are literally teeming with beautifully coloured fish and marine life.

La Palma (also San Miguel de La Palma) is the fifth of Spain's Canary Islands. This mountainous volcanic island is a natural wonder of tropical vegetation. Its coast is lined by jagged cliffs and plunging ravines, and its beaches are covered with black sand. Thanks to dry climate and the height of its mountains creating excellent observation conditions, La Palma has become the home of some of the world's largest telescopes, seated on the rocky ridge called El Roque de los Muchachos.
