Did you know summer isn’t the only time for wildlife viewing in Anchorage, Alaska?
As temperatures drop, snow blankets the ground, and vegetation thins out, some animals become easier to spot. See moose along the roadside, watch rams butting heads in dramatic displays, and marvel at bald eagles soaring against snowy peaks.
Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, a passionate photographer, or seeking a magical winter escape, Anchorage offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness nature in its most raw and captivating form.

Cosmoledo Eco Camp

Located on one of the Seychelles’ most isolated atolls, Cosmoledo Eco Camp feels like it is perched at the edge of the world.
With only eight eco-pods on site, and a select number of guests allowed on the island each week, this resort offers an island adventure like no other.
For a long time, Cosmoledo Atoll was mostly visited only by fly fishermen, however, with the building of the Cosmoledo Eco Camp this has changed and a whole new world is opening up to those adventurous souls wishing to explore something new and different.
Scuba dive untouched reefs, walk secluded coastal trails, paddle through turquoise bays, and drift amongst green and hawksbill turtles.

When it comes to seeing out-of-this-world geologic formations, New Mexico doesn’t disappoint.
One of the best examples of this alien-like landscape is the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness. Here, the eroded hoodoos, bizarre rock formations, and unusual shapes have captivated visitors for years.
Hiking through the labyrinth of canyons and hoodoo-filled landscapes offers incredible views of towering spires and arches.
The unique geological formations and stunning natural colors of Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness make it a paradise for photographers. The interplay of light and shadow on the intricate rock formations creates endless opportunities for capturing breathtaking images.
