Ancient civilizations used this mountain perch in the south of Spain as a strategic location for fortified settlements, with Romans, Moors, and Visigoths each contributing to the modern-day city we now call Ronda.

Puente Nuevo is the bridge we see on the right side of this picture. It’s one of three bridges that straddle El Tajo canyon, the gap that separates Ronda’s two halves. At the base of El Tajo runs the Guadalevín River, supplying Ronda with water and, these days, another breathtaking scene to delight visitors to the city.

Like the wild variations of the landscape elsewhere in the country, Reykjavik is a city of contrasts. The population isn’t much more than 100,000, but the city has the feel of a bigger urban setting and is well known for its nightlife. Check any good travel guide and you’ll see that many music venues and bars in Reykjavik don’t fill up until midnight on weekends and then rage on into the early morning hours. But it’s not just a party town – museums, natural wonders, unique landmarks, and many stunning works of modern architecture all draw a steady stream of visitors to the world’s northernmost national capital.

On this day in 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived near this spot. Believing they had finally reached the Pacific, William Clark wrote in his journal “Ocian [sic] in View! O the joy." But this is the Columbia River Gorge and estuary, and it would be another 17 days before they made camp at the Pacific coast.

If you retrace the famous expedition’s steps along the Columbia, make sure to spend some time in the Crown Point Scenic Corridor, an Oregon state park, seen here on the right side of the photo. The park offers stunning views of the mighty Columbia, which marks the state border with Washington. And the Vista House (perched atop a bluff) offers a bit of shelter if the weather’s not cooperating. Built in 1917, the observatory came more than a century too late for the weary Lewis and Clark team.

If you lived in Cemoro Lawang, the village on the edge of that cliff, the dramatic fog isn’t the only amazing view you’d see each morning. The hamlet looks across the crater and sand sea of Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park in Indonesia. Many visitors use Cemoro Lawang as a last stop before venturing into the park to climb Mount Bromo, one of the active volcanoes in the area.
