RockThe Great Barrier Reef.
The world's largest coral reef is located in the Pacific Ocean, off the northeast coast of Australia. It is always warm here, so you can admire the stunning underwater world at any time of the year.

Geirangerfjord, Norway.
Norway is known for its fjords - giant mountain corridors filled with sea water. One of Norway's most famous fjords is the Geirangerfjord, whose serene waters reflect towering cliffs and lush green forests. Small villages, towns and farms are comfortably located along its banks, and in some places streams of waterfalls fall directly from the rocks into the abyss.

Sheril KirshenbaumOne more story about botanical artist Marianne North with a modern twist...
A couple of years ago, Tianyi Yu recognized 14 new-to-science species of bright-blue fruited rainforest shrubs.
One specimen was first collected in 1973, but it turns out, North painted it ~100 years earlier in 1876.
Here’s her painting beside “Chassalia northiana T.Y. Yu” - which became the 5th plant species named in Marianne North’s honor. https://www.kew.org/read-and-watch/marianne-north-borneo-coffee #art #history #nature #science #HistoryRemix /2
Marianne North traveled to 6 continents & 17 countries, painting exotic plants in remote & hazardous jungles… all while traveling alone in Victorian dress in the 1800s.
North depicted over 1,000 scientifically accurate pitcher plants, orchids, ferns & more. Her oil paintings introduced botanists to multiple previously unidentified species & several are named after her.
Her art has its own gallery at Kew Royal Botanical Gardens. https://artsandculture.google.com/story/marianne-north-an-unsung-pioneer-of-botanical-art-kew-royal-botanic-gardens/OQVB7c9EslEtHQ?hl=en #HistoryRemix #history #art #science
