Jellyfish, Alaska, 1998
Photograph by Michael Melford
Jellyfish drift in the frigid waters of Alaska's Inside Passage. These waters flow through Tongass National Forest—a rich, shadowy, complex place fecund with life. Among its riches: thick carpets of mosses and ferns, streams jet-black with salmon, more bald eagles and brown bears than anywhere else in North America, and trees that can live for 500 years and reach 225 feet (69 meters) into the sky.

Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, Hawaii
Photograph by Walker Brooks
Two carved wooden images, called ki'i , overlook Keone'ele Cove in Hawaii's Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park. These statues and dozens of others stand sentry over the Hale o Keawe temple, a sacred place where the bones of 23 Hawaiian chiefs once rested.

Baby Gorilla, Gabon, 2000
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Lekedi, a baby western lowland gorilla, sits for a close-up at a gorilla orphanage in Gabon. Central Africa's lowland gorilla populations suffer from steady habitat loss, capture and killing by poachers, and the cross fire of civil wars within their range. Conservationists are working to avert the species' extinction by collecting gorilla orphans, nurturing and socializing them, and ultimately releasing them back into the wild.

Hedgerows near Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales
Photograph by Sam Abell
A wide hedgerow, growing thick with hawkweed, borders a field in south Wales, near Brecon Beacons National Park. Besides serving as a fence between properties and supporting dozens of species of flora and fauna in their densely planted rows, hedgerows knit together disparate fields into a picturesque quilt of undulating fields.

Volcanic Steam, Mount St. Helens, Washington, 2000
Photograph by Jim Richardson
On Mount St. Helens, a volcanic formation seems to come to life as it exhales a cloud of steam. The volcano in southwestern Washington's Cascade Range is most famous for its May 1980 eruption, one of the largest ever recorded in North America. The catastrophic eruption killed 57 people and triggered an enormous debris avalanche that carved a mile-wide (1.5-kilometer-wide) crater on the mountain.

Dog and Truck, Colorado, 2001
Photograph by David Alan Harvey
A speckled dog catches a ride in Rico, Colorado, the center of a silver mining boom in the late 1800s. But the heyday is long since over, the mines are closed, and the town population is down to fewer than 200 year-round residents. And for many in this quirky mountain town, that's just fine.

Cape Fur Seal and Bull Kelp, South Africa, 2002
Photograph by David Doubilet
The sun silhouettes the sinuous form of a Cape fur seal plunging through a forest of bull kelp fronds off the coast of Gansbaai, South Africa. Though clumsy on land, Arctocephalus pusillus, or Cape fur seals, epitomize grace underwater. They patrol the coastal waters of South Africa and southeast Australia, feeding on fish, squid, cuttlefish, and octopus.

Butterfly, Polynesia, 2003
Photograph by Tim Laman
Blue-and-white eyespots adorn the velvety black wings of a butterfly on a Polynesian island. The diffuse Pacific islands make up some 1,400 specks of land scattered across an expanse of ocean more than twice the size of the continental United States. Unique ecosystems here force animals to adapt into subspecies that are often endemic to a single island.

Tribal Elder with Camels, Oman, 1992
Photograph by James Stanfield
A Bedouin tribal elder tends camels at nightfall in Sahamah, Oman. Arabian camels, also called dromedaries, have been domesticated for some 3,500 years. Valued as pack animals, they can carry large loads for up to 25 miles (40 kilometers) a day. They also have a number of special physical adaptations that help them thrive in desert conditions.

Photograph by James Stanfield
A sousaphone player and his bandmates add a folksy note to a wedding celebration in Putna, Romania. Located on migration routes on the Balkan Peninsula, Romania has been shaped by waves of passing peoples including Taters, Bulgarians, Ottomans, and Habsburgs, each of which left traces of their cultural traditions in the predominantly Eastern Orthodox country.

Forest Chaser Dragonfly, Taiwan, 2006
Photograph by Jozsef Szentpeteri
A male forest chaser dragonfly displays its gossamer wings in Taiwan. Dragonflies look enough like wasps or stinging flies to instill trepidation among humans. They've been dubbed devil's darning needles, horse stingers, and finger cutters. In fact, these aerial acrobats are harmless, neither nuisance nor danger—unless you're a mosquito.

Photograph by Jodi Cobb
This blue-on-blue scene in a Bora-Bora lagoon is interrupted only by a pair of boats, a lone white seabird, and a line of frothy breakers in the distance. Found in French Polynesia 165 miles (265 kilometers) west of Tahiti, the island of Bora-Bora is what remains of an ancient sunken volcano.

Children, Sudan, 2003
Photograph by Randy Olson
Their future marred by conflicts over religion, ethnicity, and resources such as water, land, and oil, these two girls present an island of hope in the desolate landscape of Sudan. Since independence from Britain in 1956, Sudan's northern leaders have fought to extend their power throughout the rebellious south, waging a civil war for all but 11 of the past 48 years.

Attwater's Prairie Chick Hatchling, Texas, 2002
Photograph by Joel Sartore
Newly hatched at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas, this Attwater's prairie-chicken is part of a captive breeding program aimed at increasing the birds' numbers in the wild. These charismatic birds once numbered about a million along the Texas coastline, but overhunting and habitat loss have cut their wild population to just 50 or so. Captive breeding programs like this one are trying to reverse the trend.

Photograph by Amy Toensing
A nun enjoys an ice cream cone on a crowded stretch of boardwalk on the New Jersey shore. The Jersey shore has some 28 boardwalks and promenades in the 127 miles (204 kilometers) from Sandy Hook to Cape May.
Wrote one observer: "A shore town without a boardwalk is like an ice cream cone without sprinkles."

Colorado River at Granite Rapids, Arizona, 2005
Photograph by Michael Nichols
A time-lapse image blurs the silty, mocha-colored waters of the Colorado River as it flows through sheer cliffs in Grand Canyon National Park. The now tame Colorado carved these steep walls over the last six million years, exposing rock strata that detail nearly two billion years of North America's geologic history.
Wrote one canyon trekker: "[T]hat I could reach down and touch a part of the Earth that existed when life itself was a mere billion-plus years old made this big cliff land seem very holy indeed."

Grazing Sheep, Denmark, 1998
Photograph by Bob Krist
Puffy clouds and grazing sheep make a postcard-perfect scene in Denmark's Jutland Peninsula. A craggy projection of northern Europe, the Jutland Peninsula is an 11,496-square-mile (29,775-square-kilometer) spread of land that makes up continental Denmark. The generally low-lying, flood-prone peninsula was named after a Germanic tribe, the Jutes.

A girl free-falls into a river in Puerto Rico's Caribbean National Forest. The area, also called El Yunque, is just an hour's drive from the capital, San Juan, and is the only tropical rain forest in the U.S. Forest Service system. It was first set aside as a reserve by the king of Spain in 1876.

Sand Dunes, The Dalles, Oregon, 2001
Photograph by Jim Richardson
In a curious juncture, a wrinkled span of desert dunes pours into the Columbia River Gorge in The Dalles, Oregon. Eons of erosion by the mighty Columbia River carved this dramatic 80-mile-long (130-kilometer-long) gorge into the Cascade Range. Declared the nation's first National Scenic Area in 1986, the area is known for its 4,000-foot (1,220-meter) canyon walls, lush rain forest, and dozens of waterfalls.

Members of the Aquadettes, a synchronized swimming team at Leisure World Retirement Community in Laguna Hills, California, practice their formations. Activities like line dancing, lawn bowling, and computer classes make such retirement communities increasingly popular among people with decades of free time to fill. "Anyone who's bored here is a stick in the mud," says Aquadette Barbara Hack.

Lisbon's Alfama District rises dramatically to the base of the imposing Saint George's Castle. The castle began as a Visigoth fortification in the sixth century and was taken over in turns by the Romans and the Moors. It was eventually captured by Portugal's first king and became the royal palace. Tourists flock to the castle's towers and ramparts, which offer unsurpassed views of the city below.

A flock of ostriches greets a photographer at a farm near Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah. Ostriches have been raised as livestock in the United States for over a century, particularly in the West, where the climate mimics that of their native African savanna. But these quirky birds require some special accommodations, like extra-tall fences—they can leap more than six feet (two meters) in the air.
