Where we work · the destination atlas

Ice and fire at their most absolute: blue caves inside the glacier, aurora directly overhead.

First light on the Matterhorn, reached by a cogwheel railway that has been climbing since 1898.

A thousand and one nights of moving gold — a Berber camp, and a Milky Way you could reach up…

Bamboo moving in the wind, a dry garden at Rurikō-in, and maples soaking a thousand-year-old capital in colour.

Painted villages stacked on a cliff, the smell of lemon groves, and the bluest week of the year.

Lupins along Lake Tekapo, a certified dark-sky reserve overhead, and blue ice at the head of the valley.

The whole machinery of life on the East African plain, seen from a balloon at first light.

Wind at the end of the world, granite towers, and the sound of Perito Moreno letting go.
