A red-tailed hawk dived into the underbrush lining the guardrail. Then, a blue jay flitted across the road, missing my car's windshield by a feather. There were no signs pointing the way to gas stations and fast-food drive-thrus. Towering trees blocked out most vestiges of civilisation. I was not yet off a major interstate, but I had already entered the Adirondack Park. I felt a hint of the wild that had drawn me from New York City, 200 miles away, that morning.

The mountain that inadvertently captured my imagination was neither Everest nor any of the country's seven other peaks that are more 8,000m tall, but a relatively lowly peak whose height would easily betray its beauty. Turns out, I wasn't alone in my obsession. Decades before me, another man also fell in love with this mountain – and left behind a rather quirky legacy.

The name ‘hedgehog’ came from a combination of the hedges they love to forage under, and the hog-like snuffling sound they make; Before they were called hedgehogs, these tiny creatures where known as "urchins". Many of us may associate the word urchin with the ocean-dwelling sea urchin; however, it was the hedgehog that carried the name urchin first. Sea urchins were given their name after it was noticed that they had lots of spikes that resembled hedgehogs.

In the intervening years a legend arose that the medieval town remained intact below the surface of the water: Britain's very own "Atlantis". Locals have even claimed that at certain stormy times you can hear the church bells ringing.

Waterfall-climbing gobies are present in perennial streams on all of the six visitable Hawaiian islands but Bob Kinzie, an emeritus zoology professor at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa on Oahu said, "We have almost no idea of real population density or distributions on any of the islands." This makes it challenging to determine how populations might be changing over time.

As the first cooling drops of rain from the monsoon fall, 40 to 50 million adult red crabs (Gecarcoidea natalis) leave their burrows on Christmas Island, north-west of Australia. The surge of movement spreads around the island and the annual three-week migration to the ocean is underway.

As we watched, gentle ripples ruffled the surface of Arethusa Pool, smudging reflections of the fringing native vegetation, so the lake looked like liquid pounamu, the greenstone gem treasured by New Zealand Māori. Two tiny rocky islands, resembling bonsai landscapes, adorned the lake like the upper-most decorations on a tiered wedding cake – for they are islands in a lake, on an island in a lake, on an island in the ocean.

Sark is the archetypical English seaside escape. Just three miles wide by 1.5 miles long, it is fringed by pale beaches and alive with the possibility of shore fishing and boat trips. Seabird-nested cliffs tumble to frothing waves, and its rural lanes are flanked by orchards, hedgerows and walled gardens pollinated by honeybees.

“It’s quite irregular, because I can only do it between commitments on the farm,” she admitted. “But I love to show people this part of the world. People on the tours generally ask about life on the farm: what I do, what it’s like, how I keep myself entertained. It’s a tough life in many ways, but the truth is that I’m on Facebook like everyone else – the internet has shrunk the world.”

Isolated on the polar archipelago of Svalbard at 78 degrees north, Longyearbyen is the world’s northernmost permanent settlement. Halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, the 2,300 residents here are used to extremes. When the sun sets on 5 October each year, the town will not see it again for 155 days until 8 March the next year. For most of this time the town is covered in complete darkness.
