Iceland 🇮🇸, Northern Lights
🔶One of the best destinations for observing the Northern lights is Iceland: an island in the Atlantic Ocean near the Arctic Circle, lying at 65° north latitude. Compared to other Nordic countries, Iceland has a relatively mild climate - in winter in Reykjavik, the temperature rarely drops below minus five degrees.
🔶The northern, or rather, the aurora borealis (because it also happens in the Southern Hemisphere), is most often observed in winter, simply because it is dark and it is remarkably visible in the black sky.
However, it can be observed at any time of the year, including in summer, if the nights are not very bright. In summer, it is difficult to notice it due to the fact that the daylight lasts for 20 hours (in the northern hemisphere) and it is almost invisible in the light of the sun. And in the southern hemisphere there are practically no populated places located close enough to the south Pole.

🇷🇺Russia, Crimea, Novy Svet, Green Bay
🔶A small village of Novy Svet is hidden among the Crimean mountains and juniper forests. And indeed, tourists consider this place a real paradise, thanks to the good ecology, picturesque landscapes and amazing beaches. The entire coastal area is divided by three bays. The central beach is located in the Green Bay. Its length is about 700 m, and its width varies from 10 to 20m. The coating is sand-pebble. The entrance to the sea is flat, but not in all places flat.
🔶The village of Novy Svet and its central beach in the Green Bay are located in the southeastern part of Crimea, but despite this, the local climate differs from the rest of the peninsula and is close to subtropical. On both sides, the bay is surrounded by the Falcon and Eagle mountains, so the coast is reliably protected from the winds. Another feature of the resort village is the warm current, thanks to which the water in the sea warms up faster.

Baobabs are found not only on this island, but also in Africa, and even in Australia. With the development of agriculture, forests began to be cut down in Madagascar, but baobabs are not touched because of respect for majestic trees.

🔶The Bermamyt Plateau is a surprisingly little-known natural wonder in Karachay-Cherkessia. Surprisingly, because in terms of the power of the impression left, it is quite capable of being compared with the Grand Canyon in the USA. It is not so easy to get to the plateau, which creates an additional aura of inaccessibility and mystery around this place.
🔶In fact, Bermamyt is a part of a Rocky ridge near the headwaters of two rivers: the Kuma and the Malka. The main part of the plateau (the so-called Big Bermamyt) is located at an altitude of 2591 meters above sea level. A modest rocky ledge nearby is the Small Bermamyt (its height is 2643 meters).
There is a geodetic measurement point on the top of the mountain.
🔶One of the key reasons for which it is worth making the difficult way here is the incredible view of Elbrus, which, according to numerous reviews of seasoned travelers, is nowhere else.
