In the centuries leading up to the publication of Murray's outdoor opus, the Adirondacks became a destination for "sportsmen", as Murray called the fishermen, hunters and trappers who made a living during long stints in the wild. The difference was that Murray was saying that anyone could do this, including – gasp! – women. To this day, Murray is still known as the father of the US' outdoor movement.

That evening, I was seized by the reality of my utter displacement, and Byron lent me his satellite phone. I found service from a boat in our channel full of crocodiles. In the liquid darkness, I saw several pair of yellow hippopotamus eyes across the bank. One of my sisters spoke over the static.

Overwhelming the indigenous people and their culture, often at gunpoint, merchants, farmers and tradespeople (mostly from the United Kingdom) imported their view of politics and government and their chance for new lives free from Europe’s conflicts and prejudices.

Perched at an elevation of about 4,000m in the midst of the High Pamir mountains of Tajikistan, Lake Karakul is even higher than South America’s fabled Lake Titicaca. The immense body of water – some 380 sq km in area and up to 230m deep – was formed by a meteorite that struck the Earth some 25 million years ago, and sits inside an impact crater.

They supposedly lurk in remote lakes, hide in dense forests, and roam snowy mountains. Yet despite being refuted by science, cryptids—fantastical beasts that probably don’t exist—have awed and terrified humans for centuries.

The coastal winds whipped across my face as I craned my neck to see the 15 moai before me. Standing up to two storeys tall and with their backs to the choppy Pacific Ocean, the statues' empty eye sockets, once embellished with white coral and red scoria, gazed perennially across Easter Island.

Seals have inhabited Ireland's coastline for more than 7,000 years, and the country's native grey seals and common seals play a pivotal role in balancing the ocean's ecosystem. In the early 1900s, the animals nearly vanished from Irish seas due to overhunting, but since they received federal protection in 1976, their numbers have started to recover.

From the red sandstone formations of Utah to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the United States holds a wealth of dazzling, resource-rich wild spaces. The government has been designating and extending protections for its public lands for a hundred years since the U.S. Forest Service was established in 1905.

Bronzetti have been found all over Sardinia – in nuraghi, tombs and temples. But an unusually high number have been retrieved near the 70 or so sacred wells that the Nuragic people also built across the island, leading experts to believe that they were votive offerings given to the gods and goddesses.

Dessert shops are likely the best place for visitors to find ashure year-round, as I soon found out. I stopped by the renowned Ottoman restaurant Hunkar only to find out that it was available the day before but not during my visit. I phoned Haci Abdullah, another Istanbul eatery inspired by Ottoman cuisine, and they told me they weren't currently offering ashure, though it is listed on their website's menu. Torun said the reason for this is that some restaurants only serve ashure during the month of Muharram, and there might not be much demand at other times.

Interestingly, rumination, a state of being "stuck" in negative thoughts, particularly about oneself, is a hallmark of depression. And we know that patients with higher levels of negative rumination tend to show increased activity of the default mode network compared with other networks at rest – literally becoming less responsive to the world around them. It remains to be seen, however, if the symptoms of depression cause this altered activity, or if those with a more active default mode network are more prone to depression.
