Mu Cang Chai, Yen Bai, Vietnam

Located in northern Vietnam, Mu Cang Chai is a mountainous region with many picturesque terraced rice fields. Depending on the time of year, the rice terraces take on different colors. Situated next to the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, Mu Cang Chai was transformed into terraced rice fields by the Mong ethnic group hundreds of years ago, and these fields are still used for cultivation today.

Vinicunca, Cusco, Peru

Also known as the Rainbow Mountains, Vinicunca means "seven-colored mountains" in the local language of the Cusco region of Peru. The mountains' colors are due to mineral deposits, which were previously invisible to humans because they were hidden beneath a thick layer of ice. Photo: Shutterstock.

Kirkjufell, Grundarfjörður, Iceland

Kirkjufell, a photographer's favorite mountain region in Iceland, is located on the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

Andes, Bolivia

Stretching over 7,400 km, the Andes are the world's longest mountain range. Located in the Bolivian highlands, just behind the majestic Andes lies Laguna Colorada, often called the Red Pool. Its shallow, salty waters attract Andean flamingos, the rarest flamingo species in the world. Photo: Shutterstock.

Rainier, Washington, USA

The Rainier region is not just home to one volcano, but also spans and gives rise to six other rivers. The summit of Rainier is frequently covered in ice, so visitors planning to climb it must be well-prepared. Even in July, snow can still fall in Rainier at altitudes of 1,500-2,400 meters.
