Greenland

Touring South Greenland
Only the small coastal area of Greenland isn't covered with ice. Sometimes there even are grasslands between the mountains, but the landscape is mostly glaciers and fjords filled with icebergs. By the fjords in the south lie villages like Qaqortoq, Hvalsø, Igaliku, Narsaq, Narsarsuaq, Qassiarsuk and remains of settlements from the Viking era. The region is perfect for quiet walks. The highlight is a boat tour along the huge icebergs in the Qooroq ice fjord. 52 photos.

Jungle Trek to Ciudad Perdida
Hidden deep in the mountains of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in the northern part of Colombia lies a Precolombian city, called Teyuna by the native Colombians, at an altitude of 1,200 meters. Its Spanish name is Ciudad Perdida, Lost City. From El Mamey it's five days up- and downhill through the green jungle, countless times crossing the Baritara River to bridge the 44 kilometers to the 1,200 stone steps that lead to circular terraces that were made around 800 and where a few thousand of Tairona Indians lived before the Spanish invasion. 24 photos.

South Africa

Langa and the Secret of Ubuntu
Tourists returning to visit South Africa after the World Cup have been very positive about the amazing diversity of treats on offer. The country's crime is an issue which still attracts plenty of news, all negative. There's no dispute that the worst crime takes place in the townships. A visit to the township of Langa shows there's another world in those over-populated and impoverished shanty towns, too. 8 photos.

Netherlands Antilles

Leeward Islands
On Saint Eustatius you can climb a volcano, The Quill, and on Saba Mount Scenery. The Leeward Islands are perfect for an active vacation: snorkeling amidst sponges, fish and sea turtles. At Pinel Island there even is a snorkel trail. And then there are the restaurants in Grand Case, the beaches of Sint Maarten, the faded glory of Oranjestad and the lively inner harbor of Marigot. 32 photos.
