"Are you currently on a search for waters so blue they result in an uncontrollable reflex to stop what you& #x27;re doing and dive right in? If so, French Polynesia should be at the top of your to-visit list — the absolutely stunning seascapes like this one speak for themselves.” (?: @karl_shakur ?: French Polynesia)

@michutravel enjoys the warmth of a sunny day in Greenland along the chiseled, ivory and cobalt backdrop of the surrounding icy terrain. While some of the natives and visitors welcome the warmer weather, the higher temperatures continue to pose a threat to the existence of the country’s icecap, which covers nearly 80% of its land. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, more widely-known as NASA, has been monitoring the icecap via satellite and estimates that it’s losing more than 300 billion tons of ice every year. As beautiful as this scene is, it& #x27;s also a reminder that our actions have a ripple effect, and that it& #x27;s so important to be eco-friendly with consumption and conservative with waste. If every person made an effort to recycle a few more items per week, or use electricity for one hour less per day, together, we could make an incredible impact. What are you doing to help fight climate change? (?: @michutravel ?: Greenland)

Winding water walkways, colorful weather-worn facades, and a seemingly infinite number of charming corridors and side streets to wander through — this is all a part of the bewitching charm of one of Italy’s most beloved cities. Venice — a place that seems to sit precariously between the past and present — a fairytale balancing on stilts, hovering on the line existence. This is the charm of the city — this is the beauty in loving a place whose life is finite. The appreciation that comes with the understanding we don& #x27;t get forever. Photographer @kohki gives us an alternate view of this magical land from above — have you been to this architectural wonder? (?: @kohki ?: Venice, Italy)

The start of day bathes the “the Garden Isle” in soft golden waves, spilling into the crevices of the rippled land as the sun begins her journey up from the waters’ edge and into the center sky. Light refracts into a bow of rainbow hues, reaching into the misty cloud cover that hangs lazily over the mountain range. Photographer @nolanmura describes his time on this breathtaking island as “just a memory” — and what a beautiful memory it is indeed. (?: @nolanomura ?: Kauai, Hawaii ?: @odesza “Just a Memory”)

@alexanderneimert captured this enchanting shot in the Nipfjället Nature Reserve in Western Sweden. The reserve is part of Gränslandet, a vast landscape of protected land divided into nine different areas between Sweden and Norway — this particular section sits at almost 1,100 yards above sea level. Mesmerizing shots like these are a reminder that those who truly seek beauty in the everyday — in the seemingly ordinary — will eventually find it. (?: @alexanderneimert ?: Nipfjället, Sweden)
