Dusk in the "Snow Apocalypse."

This isn't a movie set, this is the reality of life in Kamchatka, Russia, after back-to-back cyclones slammed the peninsula in January 2026. Here are the cold, hard facts of the storm that made headlines worldwide:

Record-Breaking Depth: The region was buried under more than 5 meters (16 feet) of snow in just a few weeks, the heaviest snowfall recorded in 60 years.

Buried Alive: Drifts reached the second stories of apartment blocks, forcing residents to dig tunnels to leave their front doors.

Logistical Nightmare: Public transport was suspended and replaced by all-terrain military vehicles, while residents were warned against "snow diving" from their windows into the massive drifts.

The Cause: A weakened polar vortex combined with powerful cyclones from the Sea of Okhotsk to create the perfect frozen storm.

A weekend at the cutest boutique hotel in downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake, @124onqueen

We stayed here after the Toronto 1/2 marathon, so our recovery was filled with shopping in town, wineries, the Spa (we did the hydrotherapy circuit), and the best food at on-site restaurants such as NOTL and Treadwell.

It is under 2 hours from downtown Toronto and 30 minutes from Niagara Falls 🤍 #124onqueen

A Nashville stay in the middle of it all 🎶

Tempo by Hilton Nashville Downtown was the perfect home base for a weekend downtown.Rooftop pool, city views from the room, and walking distance to Broadway and some of our favorite spots.

Hotel: @temponashvilledtn

@treloyhan.manor is a breathtaking sight on the rugged coast of Cornwall, boasting stunning views of St. Ives Bay. Built in 1892, this Victorian manor is a true architectural masterpiece, with its grand staircase, elaborate carvings, and magnificent stained-glass windows. It’s no wonder Treloyhan has been named one of the most beautiful and well-preserved historic stays in the United Kingdom.

While most of the world follows the Gregorian calendar, Nepal officially uses the Bikram Sambat (B.S.), a lunar-solar calendar that runs approximately 57 years ahead of the West. This means while many are navigating 2026, Nepal has officially welcomed the year 2083.

The New Year, known as Naya Barsha, begins on the first day of the month of Baisakh (mid-April). It is a time defined by deep-rooted traditions, from the massive chariot processions of Biska Jatra in Bhaktapur to family gatherings centered around renewal and prosperity.

Beyond just a different date, this calendar dictates the rhythm of daily life, government operations, and the vibrant festival cycles that make Nepal’s heritage so unique. It’s a reminder that in the heart of the Himalayas, time truly moves to its own ancient and beautiful beat.

Over 50 years after the iconic "Earthrise," we have a new view to marvel at. Captured by the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis I mission, this "Earthset" shows our planet slipping behind the lunar horizon from the far side of the Moon.

​While this mission was uncrewed, it paved the way for the upcoming Artemis II crew, who will soon become the first humans in over half a century to witness this sight with their own eyes and break the record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth.

The Greek island of Crete has been transformed into a Martian landscape as a powerful Saharan dust storm sweeps across the Mediterranean. The sky has taken on an eerie, deep crimson hue, fueled by intense southerly winds pulling fine sand directly from North Africa.

While seasonal dust is common for the region, the sheer scale of this event is staggering. Major cities are currently bathed in a thick, orange-red haze that has severely limited visibility and plummeted air quality levels.
