A visit to Shirogane Blue Pond in Biei is a must, especially during the summer. Unveiling a surreal display of vibrant blue hues, this picturesque pond has become an increasingly popular destination. In 1988, the pond was artificially created during the construction of a dam to protect Biei from volcanic mud. The water’s stunning blue color comes from its unique mix of sulfur and aluminum from nearby tributaries, local onsen, and Shirahige Falls. These elements create colloids in the water, which reflect sunlight, basically creating the blue color of the water. Additionally, the white surface ...

Nepalese soldiers have retrieved four bodies and a skeleton from Mount Everest and the neighbouring peaks of Lhotse and Nuptse during a cleaning operation. The recruits collected 11 tons of rubbish since April, according to the army. At 8,849 metres, Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world and has also gained the sad notoriety of being the world's highest rubbish dump. Tons of broken tents and clothing, food packaging, cookers, empty water bottles, beer cans and oxygen bottles lie there, left behind by thousands of adventurers. There is also a lot of human waste - and dozens of corp...

One in six species in the UK is at risk of extinction, the State of Nature report revealed in 2023. But ahead of the country’s general election in July, are parties doing enough to rectify the situation? To bring nature back into focus, an 82-strong nature conservation coalition plans to take the new government to court. The Wildlife and Countryside Link group has already initiated legal proceedings under the Environment Act. Whichever party takes power after next month’s election must show how they will halt the decline of wildlife by 2030 and meet key targets by 2042 on biodiversity, water q...

Plans are afoot to create the world’s longest circular hiking route, the 3,000 km Palmilhar Portugal (Walking Portugal). Developed to encourage tourists off the beaten track and away from familiar (and oversubscribed) destinations such as Lisbon and the Algarve, the route will ultimately cross through 100 lesser-known beauty spots up, down and across the country. Still a project in progress, the inaugural section of the loop will open in tiny Alenquer, just north of Lisbon, this July. The next section will be created in coastal Alentejo in the south of Portugal, followed by mountainous Trás-os...

First-time visitors to the vast open area in the middle of Berlin often need a minute to take it all in. Stretching out before their eyes is a disused airfield that was constructed by the Nazis in the German capital's Tempelhof district long ago. After the former airport was shut down in 2008, the site was converted into the city's largest public park. Where once planes took off, skaters and cyclists now speed along the two runways. Due to its vastness, Tempelholfer Feld (Tempelhofer Field) as the locals call it, is a popular spot for flying kites. Designated areas for barbecuing, which is pro...
