The Australian pelican may feel like a seaside favourite, but its true homeland lies deep in the desert. When rare floods transform the outback into vast inland seas, tens of thousands of pelicans embark on epic journeys of thousands of kilometres to breed. How do they know when the waters will rise, and what calls them back to these hidden heartlands?

Ituskushima Shrine Official Website

Itsukushima Shrine, a national treasure, was registered as a World Heritage site in 1996. The three deities of Itsukushima Shrine were born when Amaterasu Ōmikami (goddess of the sun) and her brother Susanoo-no-mikoto made a pledge on the Celestial Plain, using a jewel and a sword. Since ancient times, they have been revered and worshipped as deities that ensure the well-being of the imperial family, guard the nation and protect seafarers.
