SEASONAL CURIOSITIESPONANT reveals the spectacular beauty of Norway, with iconic fjords and traditional villages. The easternmost of the Canary Islands is a land of volcanoes. Shaped by the mountains of fire, its landscapes are made up of lava fields, red earth and stretches of black sand. On this astonishing terrain, the archipelago produces its own nectar thanks to vines, planted in conical cavities and protected from the sirocco winds by small semi-circular piles of stones. A geometric hillside setting of magnetic beauty. In the heart of the Baltic Sea, Christiansø is home to 90 inhabitants and a large population of breeding and migratory birds, who find food and tranquillity here. Thousands of herring gulls come to breed, and the island is home to Denmark's only colony of razorbills and guillemots. Itinerary: Iconic capitals & towns of the Baltic, p. 49. Long ago, on a cold, dark night, the envious inhabitants of Iceland decided to steal the Faroe Islands. The giant and the witch sent on this mission reached the southernmost mountain of the archipelago. The witch tied a rope to it while the giant waited in the sea to drag his precious booty. But the mountain refused to budge. At the first ray of sunlight, both were petrified. Since that day, Risin and Kellingin remain, frozen, gazing melancholically at the ocean and Iceland. In Panama and northern Colombia, mola is an art form of the Kuna people. Its origins lie in ancestral paintings of the female body. On rectangular fabrics, naive paintings blend silhouettes of cats, fish, toucans or corals with the fantastic creatures of local mythology - pumas, phoenixes, snakes -, in a tangle of lines and patterns. The beauty of these pieces is as much about craftsmanship as it is about enchantment.
