We have been traveling northwards, deep within "AQUATIC WORLDS" observing the delightful yet endangered "BELUGA". First described by Peter Simon Pallas in 1776, The Beluga Whale or White Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) is an Arctic and sub-Arctic species of cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the Narwhal. This marine mammal is commonly referred to simply as the Beluga or Sea Canary due to its high pitched squeaks. It is up to 5 m (15 ft) in length with a distinctive melon-shaped head.
From New Brunswick, we traveled Northwards towards the Arctic, where we are now immersed in Skala's freezing "ICE"... as we journey over the treeless "TUNDRA". On tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. The Arctic tundra is a vast area of stark landscape, which is frozen for much of the year.
Dream Voyager are currently navigating our sub-conscious, strewn with puddles, where "Lovers In The Rain" have discovered their own "Mystic Castles" Astranova's superb flight team wish to thank ALL our fellow Sonic Travelers around the Globe, in over 100 countries, as we now surpass a half a MILLION journeys on Ambient Worlds Airways!

Returning to the comfort of the DEEP BLUE once again, we are rising steadily into the sunlit waters teeming with life. Relax with our crew, Mediterranea, as we rise to the surface in our Aquatic Dream Machine, like a bubble in the "LIGHT BLUE (ZARCO)" waters...
After the massive "EVAPORATION", we are rising high into the atmosphere as water vapor. Rain is a type of precipitation, a product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that is released on the Earth's surface. Falling from the clouds, we land upon the parched earth forming a welcome puddle of "FRESH MUD"...Please welcome warmly, our Guest Pilots, the superb MYSTIKOS QUINTET... Unfortunately, "Fresh Mud" can also be catastrophic where GREED is concerned: TODAY June 11th 2008, DRILLING a gas well owned by an Indonesian minister and Australian mining giant Santos caused a mud volcano that flooded 600 hectares of East Java and left more than 30,000 people homeless... as the mudflow continues at a million barrels a day.
We have been musing within the realm of AQUATIC DREAMS heading for a fine holiday, as we sail towards the Caribbean with Master of Percussion, Doug Hinrichs and the WIZARD at the helm. Time to chill out... It's cocktail hour at the bar... Very special "PINA COLADA"s are now being served. Make sure to drink it ALL down for total refreshment! Next stop, Montego Bay in Jamaica... When we reach the harbour, we are greeted by our excellent friend & host, Scott Turchin. The SONGMON, will be taking taking us High into the Hills to see the beautiful flora and fauna of the "JAH CREATION"...
Drifting off dreamily after the sun and sea in Jamaica, our next visit takes us halfway round the globe to explore yet more "Natural Worlds" and to luxuriate in the "VANUATU SURF"... First inhabited by the Melanesian people, Vanuatu, is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. This idyllic volcanic archipelago is some 1,750 km east of northern Australia, 500 km north-east of New Caledonia, west of Fiji, and south of the Solomon Islands.
