海洋之王 King of the ocean

毛伊岛鲸鱼节

在座头鲸巨大体型的衬托之下，你会觉得自己是如此的渺小。成年座头鲸体长达46-56英尺以上，是地球上最大的哺乳动物之一。夏威夷毛伊岛每年都会举办鲸鱼节，游客们可以参加观鲸活动，近距离接触这些美丽的庞然大物。座头鲸是须鲸的一种，以擅长唱歌而闻名，它们嘹亮优美的歌声甚至可以在水中传到“千里之外”。有趣的是，每个鲸鱼群都有自己的鲸歌，并且只有雄性鲸鱼才唱歌。此外，鲸鱼还是河马的远亲，它们是从同一个祖先进化而来。

Humpback whales in Maui, Hawaii

If you ever want to feel insignificant, just think about the sheer size of a humpback whale. With adults growing up to more than 46-56 feet, humpback whales are one of the biggest mammals on Earth. In Hawaii, you can get the opportunity to go on a whale-watching tour during the Maui Whale Festival and get up close with these giant, beautiful creatures. A species of baleen whale, humpback whales are known for their long elaborate songs, which travel far distances through the waters. Each whale population has its own song, and interestingly, it is only the males that sing. Also, did you know that whales are distant relatives of hippos? Both species evolved from a common ancestor.

这个悬崖怎么着火了？ Why is this cliffside ablaze?

马尾瀑布，约塞米蒂国家公园，加利福尼亚州

在约塞米蒂国家公园的埃尔卡皮坦山东侧，当所有自然条件齐备，马尾瀑布就像火一样“燃烧”起来。这种现象只有在2月的几周时间里可以看到，前提是天气晴朗，雪水或雨水形成瀑布，并且光照条件恰到好处。“火瀑布”只会持续大约10分钟，届时，观景区会人潮涌动。希望今年的游客能有幸看到这一神奇的自然景观。

Horsetail Fall, Yosemite National Park, California

When nature converges in rare and glorious fashion on the east side of the rock formation known as El Capitan, Horsetail Fall is illuminated as if on fire. This phenomenon can only be seen for a couple of weeks in February if there is a clear sky, enough water flowing from snowmelt or rain, and perfect timing. This 'firefall' only lasts for around 10 minutes and vantage points can be crowded. Horsetail Fall and El Capitan are part of Yosemite National Park, the second-oldest national park in the US. We hope this year's visitors are fortunate enough to see this magical display.

扎布里斯基角的标志性景观是摄影师和游客一年四季蜂拥而至的原因之一。大自然在这些荒地上侵蚀了亿万年，形成了这片令人惊叹的条纹岩层。这几座山峰上的深色部分是由古代火山爆发的熔岩形成的。扎布里斯基角位于加利福尼亚州的死亡谷国家公园，是无数电影（如《斯巴达克斯》和《星球大战》）的取景地。爱尔兰摇滚乐队U2的音乐专辑《约书亚树》的封面也在这里取景。难怪死亡谷暗夜节在美国如此受欢迎。

Milky Way over Zabriskie Point, California

The iconic view from Zabriskie Point is one of the reasons why photographers and tourists flock to this spot all year round. Weather and water carved out these badlands for eons, resulting in this stunning striped rock formation with an array of colors. The darker material on several peaks was formed by lava of an ancient volcanic eruption, making some of these ridges higher than others. Nestled in Death Valley National Park, California, Zabriskie Point has been the backdrop of countless movies like 'Spartacus' and 'Stars Wars.' The scenic overlook is featured on the cover of Irish rock band U2's album, 'The Joshua Tree.' It's no wonder the Death Valley Dark Skies Festival is a hugely popular event. Zabriskie Point was named after Christian Zabriskie, a distinguished member of the Pacific Coast Borax Company from 1885 to 1933.

Ancient theater of Epidaurus, Greece

Hidden in the hills of Epidaurus, about 100 miles from Athens, Greece, lies the ancient theater of Epidaurus. It's the embodiment of perfect classical proportions applied to the performing arts. A well-preserved Greek theater from ancient times, the massive open-air venue can hold more than 14,000 spectators. The three main features of the Greek auditoria are the orchestra, a circular space used as the main stage, the skene or stage building used as a backdrop, and lastly the cavea, or the auditorium, an ascending row of seats in a semi-circular shape. It is a feat of engineering built into the hillside with such precision that the theater has both perfect acoustics and an optimal structure for better viewing. The theater was dedicated to the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius. Since 1954, the theater has welcomed drama and music performances from several famous Greek and international actors.

湖滨城堡

艾琳多南堡，苏格兰

艾琳多南堡坐落在苏格兰三个湖泊的交汇处，其宁静的表面下，是数个世纪的风云动荡。维京人、封建贵族和起义军来来去去，在这个苏格兰西部高地的湖滨城堡里留下了他们的足迹。

艾琳多南城堡始建于13世纪，用来防御维京人。后来，艾琳多南城堡经历了至少四次重建。中世纪时，这座城堡大部分时间都处于麦肯齐家族及其盟友马克雷家族的掌控下。1719年詹姆斯党人叛乱期间，艾琳多南城堡被英国皇家海军的炮弹摧毁，荒废了200年。

艾琳多南城堡位于杜伊奇湖、朗湖和阿尔什湖的交汇处。1911年，陆军中校约翰·麦克雷-吉尔斯特拉普买下它，用了20多年的时间重建城堡，并于1932年对外开放。重建时，城堡还新增了一座石桥，跨湖连接陆地，让城堡变得更加实用、美观和现代。现在，艾琳多南堡已成为苏格兰高地最受欢迎的景点之一，它的形象经常出现在包装和广告上。
