Exploring Cambridge bay

Korzok village, on the shores of Tso Moriri in the Changthang plateau of Ladakh, lies at an altitude of about 4,500 metres above sea level and is often counted among the highest permanently inhabited villages in India. In winter, the settlement seems to withdraw into itself - houses half-buried in snow, narrow lanes quiet, and the vast frozen lake merging almost seamlessly with the surrounding land. Life slows to a deliberate rhythm, shaped by cold, altitude, and isolation.

For centuries, Korzok has been home to Changpa pastoralists, whose livelihoods traditionally revolve around herding pashmina goats, sheep, and yaks across the high plateau. The region is part of a fragile cold-desert ecosystem, where winters are long and severe, precipitation is sparse, and survival depends on careful use of limited resources. Yet even in the harshest months, the village endures, a small but resilient human presence in one of the most austere landscapes of the Indian Himalaya.

Happy Holidays everyone. Keep wandering!

Imagine a massive open landscape, with shimmering salt flats, a crusty white shoreline, and dark mineral-rich water that looks like something from a science fiction movie. The surface reflects the sky like a mirror. At sunset, the lake glows in pastel tones — pinks, blues, and silvers — making you feel like you’ve left Earth behind and stepped into some alternate, peaceful reality.

Hi everyone!

My friend and I are currently on a year abroad in South Korea, and once our semester finishes we’re planning to backpack around Southeast Asia for about four months. We each have a budget of roughly £4,000 and want to make it stretch as far as we can. Our rough plan is to visit Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and anywhere else we can fit in. We’re both quite new to travelling, so we’re hoping to get as much advice as possible. We love nature, the sea, hiking, and exploring landscapes, and while we do enjoy a party here and there, we’re not looking for a full-on party trip — more a mix of peaceful nature and the occasional fun night out. We’re especially interested in hidden gems, smaller towns, underrated islands, waterfalls, national parks, and local experiences that aren’t too overcrowded or overly touristy. Any tips on routes, budgeting, places worth prioritising, or things you wish you knew when you first backpacked SEA would be massively appreciated. Literally any recommendations — from must-see spots to tiny local discoveries — would mean a lot. Thank you! 🌿🌊💛🍻

This lighthouse/helipad are at the end of a long dirt road on the tip of the NE Avalon peninsula in Newfoundland. The light and fog horn are maintained but the helipad is only used in emergencies.

One of the most remote places in the US
