Boat on the Andaman Sea, Myanmar, 2005
Photograph by Nicolas Reynard
A Moken fishing boat moves past one of the Sister Islands at sunset in Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago. These boats, called kabangs, are the mainstay of the nomadic Moken culture. Each is roughed out in the forest from a single tree, then hauled to the beach to be fitted with a hull and roof. Some take up to four months to build.

Scuba Diver, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, 1986
Photograph by Bill Curtsinger
A crack in the ice shelf, called a lead, gives a diver access to (and escape from) the frigid waters of Antarctica's McMurdo Sound. Those who brave the water temperatures of 28 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 2.2 degrees Celsius) here are rewarded with unsurpassed visibility and unique sea life that has developed in isolation for some 40 million years.

Dogsled Team, Greenland, 2006
Photograph by David McLain
Greenland dogs are descended from canines that accompanied immigrants from Siberia some 5,000 years ago. This team, driving across Greenland's Sermipaluk Glacier, is tethered to the sled with a fan hitch, a type of harness that allows each dog to pick its own way across rough and dangerous terrain.

Man and Hieroglyphs, Al Kurru, Sudan, 2003
Photograph by Randy Olson
A Sudanese man illuminates hieroglyphs in an ancient tomb in Al Kurru. Sudan is strewn with the ruins of Nubian kings, who once ruled all of Egypt. Today, Sudan's government struggles to control its own country, paralyzed by decades of civil, ethnic, and religious conflict.

Woman and Dog, Newport, Rhode Island, 2003
Photograph by Bob Krist
A woman and her dog walk on a beach at low tide in Newport, Rhode Island. Each year, this small city of 27,000 residents attracts some 200,000 vacationers, who come to lounge on the beach, take in the resort town's extensive history, and get a look at the many beachfront mansions that have made Newport famous.

Photograph by Justin Guariglia
Tucked in a valley in northeastern Gomera, part of Rhode Island Spain's Canary Islands, the village of Hermigua stairsteps down terraced hills dotted with palms and banana plants. Tiny Gomera is richly contoured with hills and valleys. Wrote one observer: "To make a 3-D map of La Gomera, first crumple a piece of paper into a ball. Next, tease the center into a high point. That's it."

Weddell Seals, Antarctica, 2006
Photograph by Maria Stenzel
A mother Weddell seal and her calf swim beneath Antarctic ice. Weddell seals can dive as deep as 2,000 feet (610 meters), but frequently stay in the shallows to avoid predators such as sharks and orcas.

Twin Bolts of Lightning, Grand Canyon, Arizona, 2006
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Twin bolts of lightning reach for the depths of the Grand Canyon near Point Sublime. This scenic area on the canyon's North Rim is not as easily accessible as other lookouts. But for those willing to make the two-hour trip by 4WD vehicle, the vistas are among the best the park has to offer.

Tribal Leaders, Saudi Arabia, 2003
Photograph by Reza
Tribal leaders gather around a fire in the tent of a prominent sheik in Saudi Arabia. Such meetings, called majlis, are customary throughout the kingdom. They can be simple social gatherings or, if the host is powerful, an official audience, where a Bedouin camel herder asking help with a grazing issue might be followed by a billionaire property baron requesting a construction permit.
