Cape Peninsula, South Africa
1996
Steve McCurry

African penguins (also called jackass penguins for their donkeylike braying) face an uphill stuggle to rebuild their population after a century of decline.
In the 1800s the birds' guano—a necessary part of their nesting environment—was stripped away from their nesting grounds to provide fertilizer for farms. As a result many of the penguins were unable to successfully reproduce. Today, the birds face continuing hurdles from oil pollution and a dwindling food supply.

Gangotri Glacier, India
1983
George F. Mobley

"Sunlight glints on the bearded face of Gangotri Glacier high in the Himalayas at the source of the Ganges River. Many Hindus believe the goddess-river fell from heaven, tamed by the god Shiva, who trapped her Earth-threatening torrent in his matted locks."

—From the National Geographic book Great Rivers of the World, 1984

Missouri Breaks, Montana
1996
William Albert Allard

Dark clouds loom over grainfields near the Missouri Breaks. In the big, empty Breaks, "It's nothing to drive 250 miles (402 kilometers) to a game or a dance," says a local resident. "That's how you find things out here."

Broughton Islands, New South Wales, Australia
1994
James L. Stanfield

Buzzing Aussie isles, pilots Peter McMillan and Lang Kidby are in the home stretch of their England-to-Australia flight in a replica Vickers Vimy biplane. In 1919 a Vimy made history by flying the same route and winning the Great London-to-Australia Air Derby.

Côte d'Or, Bourgogne, France
1989
James L. Stanfield

A chateau and church crown fertile fields in the Côte-d'Or, a 30-mile (48-kilometer) strip of land in Bourgogne (Burgundy), France.
The Côte-d'Or produces some of France's most venerated wines. Much of the land is divided into myriad tiny plots with different owners, all of whom make their own wine. In many places, vines fill the landscape, growing right up to the houses so as not to waste a handful of the precious soil.

January 9, 2006

Cockington, Devon, England
1997
Bob Krist

Visitors to the Devon town of Cockington enjoy a ride in a horse-drawn carriage past thatched-roof cottages. The bucolic county of Devon—largely farmland, woods, moor, and shore—has long served the British as an antidote to city life.

Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo, Japan
1994
James L. Stanfield

"While Tokyo slumbers, Tsukiji hustles as trucks deliver five million pounds (2,267,962 kilograms) of seafood—enough to satisfy the region’s tens of millions of fish-eaters for a single day."
—From "The Great Tokyo Fish Market," November 1995, National Geographic magazine

Cedar City, Utah
1993
James P. Blair

Cumulus clouds billow over the landscape near Cedar City, Utah. Cedar City averages 45.4 inches (115.3 centimeters) of snowfall annually. Claiming "the greatest snow on earth," Utah attracts close to 500,000 skiers each year, not counting the locals.

January 17, 2006
Lanai, Hawaii
1996
James C. Richardson

A reflecting pool at the luxury hotel Lodge at Koele mirrors the natural beauty of Lanai.
The entire island of Lanai used to be a private pineapple farm. When the island was sold in 1985, the new owners decided to turn it into a tropical getaway. Lying in the rain shadow of two nearby islands, Lanai receives little precipitation. For pineapples, this could cause problems, but for travelers, the dry, cool climate is perfect for cultivating vacations.

Bagan, Myanmar (Burma)
1971
Wilbur E. Garrett

Some of Bagan's 2,000 temples and shrines reflect the morning light.
This photograph was taken before a 1975 earthquake that damaged many of Bagan's historic buildings, most built between the 11th and 14th centuries. In the years since, the military government of Myanmar has undertaken a controversial restoration effort. To the dismay of many archaeologists and historians, the restoration has been conducted with little regard for historical accuracy.

Idaho
2004
Mark Thiessen

"Astronomers hoping to study light from another Earth practice detecting clues to life in Earthshine (sunlight reflected off the Earth). One clue is the gleam of vegetation in infrared light—the 'red edge'—which (here) brightens an infrared image of an Idaho forest."

—From "Search for Other Earths," December 2004, National Geographic magazine

Laytown, Ireland
1993
Sam Abell

Competitors in the Laytown Strand Races thunder down the beach. The races have been taking place for over a hundred years. Run at low tide, the event follows a relatively simple course—straight down the beach and back.

Tahuata Islands, Marquesas Islands
1996
Jodi Cobb

Marquesasian oral traditions suggest that the islands of Hiva, the ancient Polynesian name for Marquesas, were either fished from the sea or born of the copulation of ocean and sky.

The Marquesas are among the largest groups of islands in French Polynesia. Jagged mountains and steep cliffs make up most of the landscape.

South Georgia Island
1998
Maria Stenzel

Using a piece of vegetation as a makeshift pillow, a pair of elephant seals cuddle on the beach.
Elephant seals cannot move easily on land, because of their girth. The animals spend 90 percent of their time underwater.

Marais, Paris, France
2002
William Albert Allard

A couple dances at a nightclub in Marais, Paris.
Established as a grand 17th century Parisian neighborhood, Marais reclaimed its chic character in the 20th century, emerging as a quirky, fashionable place to see and be seen.

Tana Toradja, Sulawesi
1972
Winfield Parks
Bundled up Sulawesi children sit in front of intricately designed dwellings. The eaves of the roofs curve upward, similar to the sterns of ships, projecting dramatically beyond the ends of the houses. The ark-shaped dwellings so resemble ships that some anthropologists believe that these mountain people may have a seafaring past.

Havana, Cuba
1998
David Alan Harvey

"Amid the construction, the new museums, and the old monuments, Old Havana remains a living community. Local kids still head off for school, take shortcuts through restored plazas, and cavort in the playgrounds until it is time to head home for dinner."

Bamian, Afghanistan

Afghani men gaze on the 175-foot Bamian Buddha, carved 1,500 to 1,700 years ago. For centuries Bamian was a crossroads of Indian, Greek, and Chinese cultures.
This statue and two other giant carved buddhas near it were demolished by the Taliban in 2001 in a campaign to eradicate reminders of the country's pre-Islamic heritage.

Cattle feast on new grass at the Z Bar/Spring Hill Ranch only a month after controlled fires swept across the landscape.
Blazes set by lightning and American Indians once stormed across the U.S. heartland, helping to create the prairie—dry grasslands can turn to scrub when deprived of fire. Now outfits like the Z Bar/Spring Hill Ranch set fires each spring to maintain the prairie grasses.

Tonle Sap lake, Cambodia
1968
Wilbur E. Garrett

A village on stilts rises from Cambodia's Great Lake, the Tonle Sap.
During the monsoon season the flooded Mekong river reverses the flow of the Tonle Sap river, sending it pouring upstream into the Great Lake. The water level of the lake rises as much as 29 feet (9 meters) during this time.
