Natural wonders in the UK

The British Isles rock. That's a subjective cultural claim, certainly, but it's also an empirical truth – because it's geology that has created our diverse and extraordinary natural wonders. We owe the creation of vertiginous cliffs and sea stacks to deposits of sandstone and chalk; soft limestone has been etched and scoured to carve craggy gorges, coastal arches and echoing caverns; and sculpted from extrusions of volcanic basalt are the weirdly geometric columns of causeways and sea caves.

ШУУД ҮЗЭХ

But if science speak doesn't thrill you, the sheer wildness of our landscapes can't fail to enthral. The UK's wonders may not top the lists of the tallest, deepest, widest or loudest in the world, but the canyons are grand, the waterfalls dramatic and the coastline is, frankly, as spectacular as any. And yet, we rarely celebrate these natural marvels. Typical British reticence, perhaps, though another factor might be the weather – of which we have plenty. Indeed, the power tools that cut and shaped these masterpieces are largely meteorological. It is waves, wind, rain and ice that have moulded our land. "The UK is one of the most varied regions in the world, geologically speaking," says Joe Cornish, a landscape photographer whose new book, This Land (published 1 October), showcases Britain's most beautiful scenery. "And thanks to the auspicious location of this gnarly, ancient chunk of rock in the path of the Gulf Stream, we also enjoy some of the most varied and interesting weather conditions."

Travel On The Level: Taveuni

Taveuni, in the northeast of the Fiji Island group, is called the Garden Island with good reason. As one resident put it, "Anyone who goes hungry on Taveuni is one lazy Fijian." Coconuts, mango, papaya, banana, cassava, guava and edible hibiscus, bele, a delicious form of spinach, can be plucked from the roadside. All grow wild naturally. Volcanic springs provide pure drinking water and the waters of the South Pacific provide marine edibles galore.

Taveuni Attractions With its volcanic spine, Taveuni boasts lush beauty and scenic delights from waterfalls to blow holes. Rainbow Reef with its 32-kilometers and dozen-plus named dive sites is considered one of the best in the world for SCUBA enthusiasts. Even snorkelers will be enchanted by the bright blue coral and star fish to be found just beyond the shore. What Taveuni doesn't have is island-wide electricity, traffic jams - most Fijians walk where they want to go, pollution and hordes of tourists. Paved, or "sealed" roads are also scarce as are sandy beaches of any width. Arrival Three of us Taveuni-bound travel writers went from the 10 1/2-hour Air Pacific flight from Los Angeles to the Nadi International Airport on Viti Levu directly to the one-hour and a few minute Pacific Sun flight in a Twin Otter to the tiny Matei Airport. The road to Paradise Taveuni Resort was a culture shock - 30-40 minutes of really rough road, stretches of which required four-wheel drive. Our first Taveuni "massage". Hearty "Bulas!" and flowered leis were presented by smiling staffers (there were no other kind!) and we were escorted to a seaside dining area to meet owner, Aussie Allan Gortan, and sit and relax with a cold coconut beverage.

Should Americans Travel to the Middle east

India and Turkey are currently two of the hottest tickets for traveling Americans—but the arid Muslim nations in between are not. Once an exotic region hospitable to travelers, the Middle East has changed—especially in recent tumultuous years, and today the area is often perceived as a murky and dangerous blur on the map, and many otherwise adventurous travelers have placed all nations from the Nile to the western Himalayas essentially off-limits. A popular assumption is that Americans are not wanted there—

CLOSE/XAAX/

understandable considering the events surrounding 9/11, America’s invasion of Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the imprisonment of three U.C. Berkeley graduates in 2009, the recent Islamic outrage over the YouTube video mocking the prophet Muhammad, and, most recently, the murder of four Americans in Libya, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. But rather than red-list every nation of this diverse and misunderstood corner of the planet, let us consider which remain hospitable to travelers—and also feature must-see-before-we-die sites. Iran. Friendly, generous, inviting, gracious. Such is the general description bestowed by traveling Americans upon the Iranian citizens who have welcomed them. Though the Iranian government requires that American visitors arrange a group tour or travel with a private guide, tourists report having plenty of opportunities to visit sites unchaperoned and interact independently with locals. If you go, you may wish to see the ancient city of Persepolis and the Friday Mosque. The mountains near Iran’s northern borders are also gorgeous—and the wild abode of the Syrian brown bear—but keep in mind that this is where the three U.S. hikers seem to have been arrested in 2009. Also note that there is no U.S. Embassy or consulate in Iran, that your ATM and credit cards will probably not work, and that Iranians may be very fussy about what you wear in public. Moreover, the U.S. government issued a warning to traveling U.S. citizens on April 27, encouraging them “to carefully consider the risks of travel to Iran.” Hostile “elements” are a considerable concern, the warning states, and the American government’s ability to assist its citizens in times of trouble is “extremely limited.” Read more: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/should-americans-travel-to-the-middle-east-88838554/#KG51lJxj8ThVRfJe.99 Give the gift of Smithsonian magazine for only $12! http://bit.ly/1cGUiGv Follow us: @SmithsonianMag on Twitter

Increasing numbers of tourists uncover Belize treasures

A naturally beautiful, near-magical place, of exotic black orchids, mysterious Mayan history and the flaming colours of wild toucans and scarlet macaws, Belize is undoubtedly magnetising. Yet, it remains one of the final unspoilt jewels in Central America’s crown. The country, which ranges around 20,000 km², is known for its diversity of flora and fauna that is second to none and makes for an enthralling experience. Spanning rich rainforests – home to tapirs who swim in the rivers and colourful motmots who dot the trees – and near-endless barrier reefs – the longest in the world – it is no surprise that Belize is growing in popularity as a to-visit destination.

In focus: Bolivia's natural attractions

Wild and wonderful landscapes characterise Bolivia. Otherworldly, jagged terrain contrasts with lush jungles and spectacular salt flats to create a country that offers a fresh feast for the eyes at every turn. Today, we will take a look at some of the nation’s most unmissable landscapes. Not only are these stunning in their own right, but when seen together as part of a single itinerary, they present a window into Bolivia’s astonishing diversity. СУРТАЛЧИЛГАА АЛГАСАХ
15 СЕКУНТ ХҮЛЭЭ

Salar de Uyuni Offering one of Bolivia’s most singular and memorable landscapes, Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat. It spans an impressive 12,106 sq km and provides striking views at all times – though exactly what these are depends on the weather. Indeed, if the salt is wet, its surface veritably shimmers and reflects the sky, making it seem almost as if you are floating. When it’s dry, you will be greeted with a vast white expanse, broken only by the line of the horizon. Whatever you discover, you can explore the salt flats by 4×4. For a more in-depth experience, plan to spend the night here. Retro-style caravans provide atmospheric accommodation for an evening in this remarkable place. Lake Titicaca Situated on the border of Bolivia and Peru, Lake Titicaca has a host of superlative titles to its name. Not only is it the highest navigable body of water on the planet, but it is the largest lake in South America. These shimmering waters are bathed in bright sunlight and indeed, in Andean culture it is held that this is the birthplace of the sun. The tranquil natural landscape here houses traditional ways of life; the crops are still harvested by hand, for example. To make the most of your time here, stay on Isla del Sol for one or two nights. This island spans approximately 7 sq km and is a wonderful place for hiking, discovering local culture, seeing pre-Columbian ruins and, of course, enjoying the charming views. Just remember to pack plenty of sun cream, as the sun here is very strong. Valley of the Moon Cast your mind to a mountainous landscape and you will naturally envisage towering peaks. However, Bolivia is home to mountainous terrain that is rather different. Consisting of jagged, dramatic monoliths, the Valley of the Moon looks almost as if it belongs to another world.
