Magdalena Island
Magdalena Island is a small, uninhabited island in the Strait of Magellan, northeast of Punta Arenas in Chilean Patagonia. It forms part of the Magdalena Island National Park, together with nearby Marta Island, and is best known for its large colony of Magellanic penguins. The island consists largely of low, windswept terrain covered with grasses and other hardy vegetation, surrounded by cold waters and exposed to the strong weather of the strait.

Madikwe Game Reserve is a large protected wildlife area in South Africa’s North West province, close to the Botswana border. Its landscape consists mainly of open grassland, bushveld, rocky hills, and seasonal watercourses, with habitats supporting a wide range of wildlife. The reserve is notable for being one of South Africa’s major conservation areas established on former farmland, with wildlife populations restored through a large-scale relocation programme.
Engelberg
In Engelberg visitors can enjoy activities in all seasons. In winter, snow covers long ski runs, and slopes of all levels stretch down towards the valley. In warmer months, the same lifts take hikers to high meadows where paths lead past lakes and ridges with spectacular views. Down in the valley, the Brunni area has gentle slopes, a summer toboggan run, and even barefoot trails around quiet ponds, offering a different side of the Alps.
