Hidden cavern: Tucked away near Burlington, Vermont, U.S., the Donahue Sea Cave offers a glimpse into the region’s ancient past. This hollowed-out dolostone chamber was carved over millennia by natural forces. It is accessible only when the ice is thick enough for visitors to skate across the frozen pond to reach its entrance. Some experts believe underground water dissolved the rock, while others suggest it was shaped by an ancient river cutting through the landscape. Despite its name, the cave wasn’t formed by ocean waves but by shifting waters. Skating there adds to the adventure, making it a popular winter spot. Inside, the smooth rock walls reveal a history dating back hundreds of millions of years.
Timeless republic: The microstate of San Marino, entirely within Italy, has remained independent for nearly 2,000 years.
Founded by a stonemason fleeing persecution, it evolved into a self-governing republic nestled atop Monte Titano. Since its official founding date of 301 C.E., San Marino’s mountainous terrain, long-standing neutrality, and strategic diplomacy have protected its sovereignty, even as empires rose and fell around it. The medieval towers crowning its peaks are now UNESCO landmarks, drawing visitors to its historic capital. Unlike many modern nations, San Marino never experienced a monarchy, but has functioned as a republic since its earliest days.
Flaming cascade: Eternal Flame Falls offers a rare blend of fire and water in Chestnut Ridge Park near Buffalo, New York, U.S. Behind its modest waterfall, a small but persistent flame is fueled by natural gas seeping from deep within the shale rock. The cascading water and an ever-burning flame make a mesmerizing sight, drawing hikers and nature lovers alike. The surrounding trail winds through a forested area, leading visitors to this natural curiosity.
Wind and water sometimes extinguish the flame, but anyone with a match or lighter can easily relight it, keeping the phenomenon alive. This fiery waterfall is a striking reminder of unexpected wonders hidden in nature’s landscapes.
Floral treat: A cafe in Kyoto, Japan, is turning ice cream into edible art with its stunning, flower-shaped confections. Crafted from sweet bean paste, these delicate creations resemble real blooms, blending traditional Japanese confectionery with modern esthetics. Each bouquet-inspired scoop is a nod to Kyoto’s deep-rooted dessert culture, where azuki beans have long been a cherished ingredient.
The cafe itself is a fusion of nature and craftsmanship, offering handmade ceramics, local plants, and organic treats alongside its famous desserts. Visitors often line up early to snag these intricate ice cream flowers before they sell out. Whether drawn by the artistry or the flavour, guests leave with a dessert that looks as enchanting as it tastes.
