We're all doing our part to #flattenthecurve, but that doesn't mean we can't explore. Thanks to the fine folks at Explore, Google Arts and Culture, NOAA and Smithsonian Magazine, we can explore the US National Parks, animals in the wild + in sanctuaries and even see the Northern Lights!
1) Explore is our go-to site for all things LIVE CAM! “explore features a wide range of topics—from animal rights, health and human services, and poverty to the environment, education, and spirituality.” A couple of our favorites include:
Wolong Grove Panda Yard
Northern Lights
Manitoba, Canada
2) The US National Parks Service together with Google Arts and Culture created a jaw-dropping exploration of 5 of the US National parks. Our favorite is Bryce Canyon, but all 5 are worth a visit!
Hawaii Volcanoes
Bryce Canyon National Park
3) “Smithsonian Channel is currently making all 68 full-length episodes of “Aerial America” available for free and with no login requirement on Smithsonian Channel Plus. Every Tuesday and Thursday at 4 p.m. EST, Smithsonian Channel will also host a live "watch party” on their Facebook page to make the “Aerial America” viewing experience interactive despite social distancing.”
New Mexico
Land of Enchantment
American Wilderness
4) Our favorite in-person adventure is snorkeling with the Sea Lions on our Baja Glamping exploration. A virtual dive with NOAA is a pretty amazing supplement in these times!
