Lodgepole Pines, Yellowstone, Montana, 1989
Photograph by Jonathan Blair
A stand of lodgepole pine trees in Montana’s Yellowstone Park are backlit by the glow of the 1988 North Fork Fire, which charred nearly 800,000 acres (324,000 hectares) of the park. Such fires are actually good news for lodgepoles, whose pine cones need extreme heat to release their seeds.

Manta Ray, Mexico, 2007
Photograph by Brian J. Skerry
A leaping manta ray (Manta birostris) seems to fly above the Gulf of California off the coast of Mexico. Mantas, easily recognizable by their pectoral "wings," stay near the ocean's surface, unlike other rays. They leap—up to seven feet (two meters) high—then return to the surface with a resounding slap.

Bloodstained Shroud of Turin, New Mexico, 1980
Photograph by Victor R. Boswell, Jr.
This computer-enhanced image, created in New Mexico’s Los Alamos National Scientific Laboratory, shows bloodstained areas on the Shroud of Turin. This relic’s fame comes from the imprint of a life-size, bearded man on the linen cloth. The shroud also contains traces of blood and marks consistent with scourging and crucifixion. While some believe this cloth covered Jesus at the time of his burial, the shroud’s origins and authenticity remain a source of controversy.

Mountains and Climber, Tibet, China, 2004
Photograph by Jimmy Chin
A climber looks over the peaks of the Kunlun Mountains in Tibet's Chang Tang Reserve. This forbidding range in the Northern Tibetan Plateau is buffeted year-round by strong winds, bitter cold, and scant precipitation, suitable habitat for only the hardiest of plants and animals.

Photograph by Flip Nicklin
The serene blues and greens of a coral reef blend in with waters off Australia. Corals live in tropical waters throughout the world, generally close to the surface where the sun's rays can reach the algae. While corals get most of their nutrients from the byproducts of the algae's photosynthesis, they also have barbed, venomous tentacles they can stick out, usually at night, to grab zooplankton and even small fish.

Sailboats, Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, 1975
Photograph by David Boyer
Sailboats jockey for position in a boat race on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota, a state that owes much of its buoyant outdoor spirit to its rivers and 15, 291 lakes. For a lake to be counted, it has to cover at least ten acres (four hectares) and flow with fresh water. No ponds or potholes, please.

Saint Mary's Church, Krakow, Poland, 1988
Photograph by James Stanfield
A speck of sun behind the Gothic church of St. Mary's penetrates early morning fog in Market Square as merchants ready their tables for the day's crowds in Krakow, Poland. The picturesque plaza, built in the 13th century, is one of the largest public squares in Europe.

Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, Montana, 2007
Photograph by Michael Medford
A common goldeneye duck paddles past a snowy bank—and toward the reflection of a gnarled tree stump—in Lake McDonald, part of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.
For 75 years the combined 1.14 million acres (0.6 million hectares) of Canada's Waterton Lakes National Park and the U.S.'s Glacier National Park have been designated, and jointly managed, as a transboundary conservation area—the world's first international peace park.

Ultraviolet light turns the membranes of magnified lipids fluorescent green. Molecular scientists study such compounds for clues about the origins of life on Earth.

Dead Trees, Grand Sable Dunes, Michigan, 1991
Photograph by Phil Schermeister
Long-deceased trees cling stubbornly to the steep flanks of Grand Sable Dunes in Michigan's Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The precipitous dunes, left behind by ancient glaciers, rise some 300 feet (90 meters) above Lake Superior and spread over 5 square miles (13 square kilometers).
