An island filled with wildlife! 🐠 Welcome to the Berlengas archipelago. Although there is no population living permanently here, this archipelago is home to many different species, being considered a @unesco biosphere reserve. Berlengas archipelago is located 16 km west of Peniche, Portugal and serves as nesting ground and winter habitat for migratory bird species. 📹 @europeanspaceagency 📸 contains modified @copernicus_eu Sentinel data (2023), processed by ESA, @creativecommons CC BY-SA 3.0 I

Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago above the Arctic Circle, experiences polar night from mid-November to late January, when the sun doesn’t rise, cloaking its icy, glacier-covered landscape in darkness, faintly lit by twilight and northern lights. Despite subzero temperatures, about 2,500 residents in Longyearbyen and Arctic wildlife endure, supported by artificial light, until sunlight returns in late January, ushering in the midnight sun by April. | Historyinmemes
