If we have a look at our planet from outer space, we will see a kind of
"blanket" woven of white, blue, green and brown threads. As we look
closer, our eyes start to distinguish details, such as the outlines of
the continents and islands, mountains, seas, lakes and rivers. The lower
we descend, the more man-made constructions we will be able to see: the
Great Wall of China with its 21,196 kilometres long, if counting all the
branches, is one of them. The sizes of the wall are confusingly believed
to be seen from the Earth's orbit, but it is not entirely true: the
moment you start to distinguish the Great Wall of China, you start to
distinguish other constructions, as well. They can be better seen at
night when they are illuminated by bright lights — just have a look at
the newest stadium in Saint-Petersburg that held the 2018 FIFA World
Cup!

The Earth's motley patchwork is formed of very different details. In the
same place, in China, there are the colourful Danxia mountains, which
landforms are full of yellow, orange, blue and other bright and pure
colours.

You can endlessly enjoy the water areas, which, in their turn, can
please you with the uniqueness: Lake Baikal covered with ice, the bay
full of jellyfish in Indonesia, the Pacific Ocean that surrounds French
Polynesia and the Indian Ocean that washes the beaches of Goa and
Seychelles...

The mountain views are no less beautiful: the Saylyugemsky National Park
in Altai, for example. The nature of the Gorny Altai is represented here
in its entirety: there are not only highlands but rivers, ravines,
steppes, glaciers and valleys, too. Another inspiring example is
Kamchatka with its Valley of Geysers, Uzon Caldera and other great
natural sights.

Every corner of the Earth can amaze us in its own way. Get acquainted
with the incredible desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan. It is also known as
the Valley of the Moon as its landscapes are far from usual earthy
views. In Bolivia, you can find Lake Uyuni that has not only dried but
also created various fantastic statues out of salt. And even such a
plain landscape as steppe is also full of life, shapes and colours —
just have a look at the Orenburg Nature Reserve with its famous
inhabitants, Przewalski's horses.

The picture of the Earth would not be complete without people inhabiting
it. Among the best panoramas of AirPano, we have chosen a very unusual
tribe, the Baka people in Cameroon. They have preserved their
traditional way of life with no use of the achievements of modern
civilization. It is hard for a modern human to imagine his life without
electricity or phones, so you can at least watch how other people live
and think of how diverse our planet is.

We showed you these and many other panoramas in 2018. Thank you for
being with us, and in the new year AirPano will carry on publishing new
fascinating panoramas from the most beautiful corners of the Earth!
