The Laguna del Caminante is both the name of the lake we see here, and the 15-mile-long trail that passes by it. The lake itself is lovely, but it's the setting that really knocks the socks off. Established as Argentina's first shoreline national park in 1960, Tierra del Fuego National Park features other glimmering lakes besides Caminante, plus the dramatic scenery this archipelago at South America's southern tip is known for: glacier-carved mountains and lush subantarctic forests. The coastal waters are famous, too—the Beagle Channel forms the park's southern border and was named after the HMS Beagle, the research ship carrying Charles Darwin to this part of the world. Geography geeks might like this fact: The farthest point south you can drive in the Western Hemisphere is located at Bahia Lapataia in the park.

These natural towers are made of soft tuff, formed from hardened volcanic ash, and Cappadocians dug innumerable caves into them. They used these caves as sheltered homes, churches, even entire underground communities that offered some degree of protection from relatively frequent raids. Away from the city, these stone spires crowd the landscape. But in the town of Uçhisar, they blend in with the many caves on the hill, some of which are used as dwellings to this day.

This city has the perfect balance of culture, nature, and fine lifestyle. Artistic masterpieces, both fine and rough, can be found left and right in Melbourne's various streets and museums.

And as if things couldn't get any better, fine wine, coffee, and food are available in the city's 5,000 or so dining establishments and cafes.

Rough and delicate features combine for an incredible view across a Millstone Grit escarpment in Peak District National Park. Here at Derwent Edge, soft purple heather and great sweeps of green moorland are punctuated by rough-hewn tors—a type of rock outcrop that rises from an otherwise mostly smooth hilltop. At one time this rugged gritstone covered most of the Peak District in England, but retreating glaciers of the last ice age pulled the stone along with them.

Some of the eroded tors of Derwent Edge have earned nicknames: Salt Cellar, Coach and Horses, and Cakes of Bread are some of the more well-known. Many walking trails through these fantastic rock outcroppings offer visitors expansive views across the beautiful countryside.
