Republic of South Africa
1998
Kenneth Garrett

An intense storm cloud forms over South Africa's Highveld. The Highveld contains the greatest span of remaining grassland in southern Africa. These grasslands act as natural water purifiers, where the peat filters out 90 percent of the harmful chemicals from herbicides. Clean water is an extremely valuable resource in southern Africa.

Nevado Ampato, Andes Mountains, Peru
1995
Stephen Alvarez

Once wide enough for rituals around a ceremonial platform, Ampato mountain's avalanche-narrowed summit now only admits visitors single file. To the Inca, Ampato was sacred, a god who brought life-giving water and good harvests. As a god, the mountain claimed the highest tribute梐n Inca mummy and other burial sites have been found here.

Santa Fe River, Florida

1998
Wes C. Skiles

“Brown and blue blend as water from Ginnie Spring mixes with river water tinted by plant tannins. While this natural dye is harmless, man-made pollution clouds the future of these fountains—a fact Floridians must now confront.”

Århus, Jutland Peninsula, Denmark
1997
Bob Krist

Time seems to stand still along a canal in the Old Town in Århus, Denmark. The Old Town is actually a living museum. The historic buildings and their furnishings have been moved there from various other locations around Denmark, effectively re-creating the look and feel of an old Danish market town.
The Danes also hold an annual celebration of somewhat less genteel ancestors—the marauding Vikings.

Plymouth, Montserrat
1996
Vincent J. Musi

From a distance, Montserrat's capital city, Plymouth, reveals little of the damage caused by eruptions of the nearby Soufriere Hills volcano.
In reality, Plymouth and its suburbs receive much of the airborne ash. "This area has been overridden by such deposits many times in the past," says one geologist. "It's really an unsafe place to have a city."

Mae Hong Son, Thailand
1994
Jodi Cobb

Buddhist monks walk beside a field of sunflowers in northern Thailand.
Opium poppies once covered the hillsides here, and sunflower fields like this one often grow from seeds dumped over the fields in an attempt to eradicate the poppies. Strict laws and alternate agricultural opportunities for farmers have helped bring an end to most of Thailand's opium production. The opium trade continues, however, with poppies grown in neighboring Myanmar (Burma) and elsewhere.

Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland
1973
Emory Kristof

The Icelandic town of Vestmannaeyjer is dwarfed by the erupting Eldfell volcano, which formed suddenly on the eastern edge of the city in January 1973.
Eldfell destroyed much of Vestmannaeyjer and prompted the evacuation of the entire island of Heimaey. Today, Vestmannaeyjar is once again the premier fishing port in Iceland, and townspeople have planted grass on the lower slopes of the now-silent volcanic cone.
