Arapahoe Basin
Arapahoe Basin, also known simply as “A-Basin," has established itself as one of the longest-season destinations in the nation, opening early and closing late. That's thanks in large part to its high altitude position, with a base at 10,780 feet and a summit at 13,050.

Copenhagen is another city on our list that may seem expensive from the outset, but it has consistently ranked toward the top (if not at the top) of Monocle’s list of the world's best cities for quality of life.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Even in southern Germany, the land of ridiculous medieval charm, Rothenburg ob der Tauber stands out. It pulls out all the romantic Bavarian stops, with turrets, stone archways, clock towers, taverns, and timber-framed buildings.

Tausend
Tausend, in Berlin, sits behind an unmarked door underneath of the Friedrichstrasse train station. An iron door under the train underpass leads to the space lined with glass walls and 3D-art installations.

Understanding what animals mean can be hugely beneficial for a wildlife documentary maker, especially if your subject is a lone master of disguise. If you're in a vast, dense jungle in India, and the tiger you are hoping to film could be anywhere in that jungle, the only sense you can rely on is hearing.

This is the situation that faced Theo Webb, director of Dynasties'’ Tigers episode. He describes this remarkable filming trip in the fifth episode of the BBC Earth podcast.

At time of publishing, the colony is still in its ‘crèching’ period. The dedicated parents are feeding their chicks and many are well-grown. By the middle of December the first young penguins will start to lose their baby feathers and head out to sea, a move that will continue through January. Then, they will remain in the ocean until they become adults, and are ready to reproduce, after three or four years. The breeding adults will return to Atka Bay in April. Sometimes they return a little early and have to wait until the ice freezes before they can colonise their temporary home. In 2017, the penguins spent a couple of days on an ice float, going in and out with the tide until the ice was stable.

In terms of the wider outlook for Emperor Penguins, the sea ice is crucial to their ability to survive. The temporary ‘fast ice’ forms sometime in March to April and lasts until December or January in Atka Bay. It is accessible for the colony and gives them a platform to breed, survive the winter, and for the chicks to grow and fledge.

Perhaps you’re one of those people that claims that they can sleep anywhere. If that’s the case, then you are very walrusy in your habits. It’s been discovered that walruses have the ability to sleep just about anywhere, even in the ocean. They have been observed snoozing while floating on the surface, lying on the seabed and even bobbing along while anchored to an ice floe by a tusk, but they can also go for massive amounts of time with no sleep at all. It’s been reported that they are able swim for up to 84 straight hours without a rest.

“The key to managing a reef is to manage the green algae that will naturally grow on the surface of the coral – and the key to that is maintaining populations of herbivorous fish that will eat the algae,” he says. “If you look at most coral gardens around the world, caretakers have to spend all their time scrubbing coral with toothbrushes because they haven’t built the right habitat for fish.”

The difference with his steel spiders, says Mars, is that they create protective shells where smaller fish can hide from larger fish, enticing them to stay and kickstarting the regeneration of the entire ecosystem and its vast assemblages of species.

It was Ritak’Uwa Blanco, the highest peak in the Eastern Cordillera of the Colombian Andes, that Gabriel had set out to photograph. Pitching his tent in the valley, he climbed up to photograph the snow-capped peak against the sunset. But it was the foreground of flowers that captured his attention. Sometimes known as white arnica, the plant is a member of the daisy family found only in Colombia.

Our team filmed the chimp group for 35 days and witnessed some hair-raising moments, especially when the chimps were crossing roads. Some of the younger males would just chance it, which was incredibly hard to watch – there were a few near-collisions. The alpha males and females, however, acted very differently. They would cross with utmost caution, waiting for the traffic to quieten. They have responded to new challenges by adopting behaviours that help them survive, which is remarkable. I never imagined I would see chimps on a road; it’s just not their habitat.
