Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska, 2003
Photograph by Frans Lanting
Seen from above, a network of countless tributaries gleams like molten metal in Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Larger than Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts combined, the park protects more than 13 million acres (5 million hectares) of mountains, tundra, forests, ice fields—and solitude.

Bug on Ripening Fig, Borneo, Indonesia, 1997
Photograph by Tim Laman
A bug feeds on a ripening tropical fig in Borneo’s Gunung Palung National Park. The rain forest contains many varieties of these strangler fig trees, and their fruit is a critical food source for numerous rain forest dwellers, including monkeys, civets, butterflies, and ants.

Farm and Floodwaters, Bangladesh, 1993
Photograph by James P. Blair
Raging rivers in Bangladesh create arable islands of silt, called chars, then slowly scrape away at their shorelines until eventually they disappear. More than 60 percent of Bangladeshis work in the agriculture sector.

Gulliver's Travels Theme Park, Japan, 2002
Photograph by Karen Kasmauski
A Lilliputian-like worker scrubs the giant head of Gulliver at Japan's now defunct Gulliver's Travels theme park in the shadow of Mount Fuji. Surrounded by the amusing and the mundane, Fuji—Japan's most sacred summit—manages to rise above it all.

Brooklyn Bridge, New York City, New York, 2000
Photograph by Theo Westenberger
May 24, 2008, marked the 125th anniversary of the opening of New York's Brooklyn Bridge. The elegant structure slung over the East River took more than 13 years to build and was at the time the longest suspension bridge in the world. With its stocky towers and delicate webs of steel cables, the bridge is still regarded as an architectural marvel.

Buffalo Carcass, Zakouma National Park, Chad, 2007
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Chad's Zakouma National Park, a rare wildlife refuge in tumultuous central Africa, comprises less that 1,200 square miles (3,100 square kilometers), but its permanent water sources attract an abundance of large and small fauna. This buffalo took its last breath near one of Zakouma's rivers.

Clouds, Yemen, 1979
Photograph by Steve Raymer
Clouds gather in a dramatic sky over north Yemen, once a crossroads for the frankincense trade. To the Romans this elbow of land along the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden was Arabia Felix—Happy Arabia—perhaps because the abundance of silks, spices, and pearls that came north by camel caravan made it seem a bountiful place.

Photograph by Otis Imboden
The Church of Saint Naum, originally built in A.D. 910, stands illuminated by candlelight on its perch above Macedonia's Lake Ohrid. The nearby town of Ohrid was once the capital of a sprawling Bulgarian empire ruled by Tsar Samuel and later conquered by the Byzantines.
