Wonder Brazen

Today on Wonder, we’re traveling to the vast freshwater plains of Uganda to meet one of its most impressive and solitary inhabitants: the Shoebill stork. Just before dawn, when the air is heavy with the scent of dewy plantlife, this huge creature moves nimbly through papyrus wetlands. It appears prehistoric, a dinosaur transported to the present day. With a muscular body and steely grey feathers, the stork is the king of the swamp. So join us, and spend five minutes in the freshwater plains of Uganda, where the quiet is interrupted only by chirping crickets and the splash of the Shoebill stork’s search for food. Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.

Today on Wonder, we’re in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica. Whipped by harsh winds, this rocky desert stretches as far as the eye can see. It’s here that you’ll encounter an enormous ruby-red cascade of water: the Blood Falls. Against the pristine expanse of ice, these crimson waters are an alien sight. The Blood Falls have remained a mystery for centuries, continuing to flow from the glacier even as temperatures drop below freezing. Join us, and let the wind carry you close to this otherworldly vision in one of the most remote corners of our planet. Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.

Today on Wonder, we’re traveling to a lush rainforest to catch a glimpse of one of the world's most enchanting phenomena: moonbows. There are only a handful of places on Earth where the conditions are just right for these delicate visions to appear, and this spot, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of them. On clear nights when the moon is at its brightest, these nocturnal rainbows – moonbows – can appear in the spray of the majestic Victoria Falls. Many cultures around the world believe they are signs of good fortune from the celestial realm. Now, it's time for a moment of serenity. Leave the everyday stresses behind to travel over the dense rainforest, with only the moon for company. Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.

Today on Wonder we’re traveling across a glittering glacial lake in Patagonia to one of the most remote places on Earth: the Marble Caves. Formed more than 6,000 years ago, this cave complex is unlike any other. Peaks and swirls on the rock face resemble colourful strings of candy, their colors a game of reflection between the light, water and marble. On this journey, you’ll be joined only by the howl of the wind through the cave vaults and across the lake’s brilliant blue surface, transporting you to a kaleidoscopic show of colours that emerges just above the waterline. It’s time to put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.

Today on Wonder, we’re traveling hundreds of meters below the ocean's surface to visit one of its most unusual residents: the vampire squid. Neither a vampire nor a squid, this curious creature looks unlike any other on Earth. With eight reddish arms connected to a webbed cloak, the vampire squid strikes a strangely elegant figure in the deepest depths of tropical oceans. In this episode, you’ll be immersed in serene waters as deep as 900 meters below the surface, your path ahead lit only by bioluminescence. It’s time to put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.
