Tutankhamun Tomb Mural, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 2005
Photograph by Kenneth Garrett
A mural on the north wall of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb maps out his journey to the next world. Here, the sky goddess Nut, second from left, welcomes Tut to the realm of the gods. The black, zigzaggy symbols in Nut's open palms symbolize a greeting.
Carved into the Valley of the Kings, Tut's tomb hid his mummy and funerary regalia until archaeologist Howard Carter revealed its contents to world acclaim in 1922. Though the peripheral rooms were looted in antiquity, the burial itself remained untouched.

Coconut Palm, New Caledonia, France, 2000
Photograph by Peter Essick
A coconut palm stands on a breezy tropical beach in France's New Caledonia. Tourists enjoy these sun-soaked beaches, but botanists explore the island’s incredible plant diversity. Out of 3,400 identified native plant species, three-quarters are endemic to this archipelago and many can be traced to the Cretaceous era.

Photograph by David McLain
Hikers negotiate a crevasse on Franz Josef Glacier in South Island, New Zealand. This highly accessible river of ice begins in the peaks of the Southern Alps, but flows some 8,000 vertical feet (2,400 vertical meters) into the lush rain forest of New Zealand's Westlands National Park.

Coastline, Big Sur, California, 2000
Photograph by Frans Lanting
The Santa Lucia Range sprawls down to the rocky coastline in Big Sur, California. This wall of mountains plunges into the Pacific along 90 celebrated miles (145 kilometers) of California coast. State and federal preserves protect the wild solitude that lures artists, seekers, and plain folk to Big Sur.

Fisherman on the Yellowstone River, United States, 1997
Photograph by Annie Griffiths Belt
Deep in thought on his boat near the snowy banks of the Yellowstone River, a fisherman examines his bait. The Yellowstone River is the longest undammed river remaining in the lower 48 states, flowing for 670 miles (1,078 kilometers) through Wyoming and Montana before ending in North Dakota, where it joins the Missouri River.

Iceberg, Jakobshavn Fjord, Greenland, 2007
Photograph by James Balog
At four miles (six kilometers) wide and several thousand feet thick Jakobshavn Isbræ disgorges icebergs like these faster than any other of Greenland's glaciers. Its output, accelerated by global warming, totals some 11 cubic miles (45 cubic kilometers) of ice each year.

Persian Ruins, Persepolis, Iran, 1999
Photograph by Alexandra Avakian
The ancient city of Persepolis in modern-day Iran was one of four capitals of the sprawling Persian Empire. Built beginning around 520 B.C., the city was a showcase for the empire's staggering wealth, with grand architecture, extravagant works of silver and gold, and extensive relief sculptures such as this one.
The height of Persian rule lasted from about 550 B.C. until 330 B.C., when Alexander the Great overthrew the ruling Archaemenid dynasty and burned Persepolis to the ground.
