Aerial view of Tamul waterfall in the Huasteca Potosina region, Mexico (@ Patricio Robles Gil/Getty Images)

comments,

  • You\ll find this waterfall in a state known for its eye-catching natural resources.""The local capital is the silver-mining centre of Mexico
  • Only a fortunate few make the journey to this remote waterfall.""Lucky for us they took some fantastic photos
  • In local towns you\ll hear not the splashing of water, but violins playing huapango music.""See the dance that goes by the same name
  • Not far from this towering waterfall is a hole more than 300 metres deep.""What is this site that regularly swallows up base jumpers?

Fox Fur Nebula in the Monoceros constellation (@ Tony Hallas/Corbis)

comments,

  • If you happen to be cruising through the Monoceros constellation you can pop into this nebula.""It\s only 15,000,000,000,000,000 miles away
  • Clouds of dust and ionised gases like this put on some of the most dazzling displays in the universe.""Discover more about these clouds in space
  • First seen in 1993, what other fox are you likely to see flying through space?""He\s a bit of a gaming star!
  • This nebula was so named because it resembled a popular fashion accessory at the time of discovery.""What is it?

The twin peaks of Mount Ushba in the Greater Caucasus mountain range (@ Brooks Kraft/Corbis)

  • Though not the highest of the mountains in this range, this peak is celebrated as the “Matterhorn of the Caucasus.”""Where is it?

  • This massive mountain range acts as a mighty border between Europe and Asia.""See more photos of this amazing collision of continents
  • The polyphonic singing from this region sounds as though it could almost be echoing off the sides of the surrounding mountains.""Listen to some local songs

South Street Bonfire Society watching the Nevill Junior Bonfire display, Lewes, East Sussex (@ Ian Cumming/Axiom Photographic Agency)

comments,

  • “Remember remember the fifth of November,""Do you know what we\re celebrating today?
  • This town, known locally as the bonfire capital of the world, is famed for its events on ‘the Fifth.\""See some of the celebrations
  • Nobody wants to see a firework cannonballing towards their home, or anywhere worse for that matter, so remember to stay safe.""Brush up on your firework code
  • The types of effect that fireworks make have some great names: peony, fish, kamuro, time rain and of course roman candle.""Watch some extraordinary explosions

Daisies reflected in dewdrops -- Craig Tuttle/Corbis

Daisies reflected in dewdrops -- Craig Tuttle/Corbis

comments,

  • Dew has that marvellous property which gives early mornings a magical and mysterious feel.""But how does it form?
  • You may recognise this as a regular day-to-day daisy but did you know they are part of a family with 22,750 species?""See more pictures of this colourful family gathering
  • Is there anything more satisfying than the sound of a drop of water falling majestically into a glass of water?""Probably watching it in super slow-motion tops that!
  • “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do…”""Now what do you suppose the lovely lady would look sweet upon?

Icelandic horses running through lagoon in Iceland (@ Tim Flach/Getty Images)

Icelandic horses running through lagoon in Iceland (@ Tim Flach/Getty Images)

comments,

  • There is nothing chilly about these fillies – they\ve been bred to withstand the cold, harsh Icelandic air.""Discover more about them
  • Although they\re called horses, this breed is small enough to be categorised as a pony.""Maybe their low centre of gravity helps them run on ice?
  • This country is about a third larger than Scotland but has a third fewer people than the Scottish capital.""Where is this 300,000 person-strong island?
  • These horses\ ancestors first came here more than 1,000 years ago, courtesy of Scandinavians who venerated horses.""Especially this eight-legged stallion!

Infant gelada baboon in Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia (@Fiona Rogers/Corbis)

comments,

  • There is no monkeying around going on here, this baby baboon is tucking into his lunch.""Meet the last of the grass-eating primates
  • Despite living in a land formed by volcanic lava and near the equator, this monkey is a hardy chap.""This is one of the few places in Africa where snow falls
  • When this little fella grows up he\ll have two distinctive characteristics: a big, lion-like mane and a bight red chest.""See more pictures of them
  • These creatures can be found in a country believed to be the oldest site of human existence.""Early Homo sapiens are said to have come from here 400,000 years ago
