Spanish Church, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, 1996
Photograph by Bruce Dale
A peaceful image of a traditional Spanish church in the town of Ciudad Juarez belies the restive reality of life along the U.S.-Mexico border. Towns beside the dangerous and polluted 1,250-mile-long (2,000-kilometer-long) Rio Grande don’t always know calm and order.

Flags on Rooftops, Gyangze, Tibet, 2000
Photograph by Maria Stenzel
Prayer flags adorn the rooftops of houses in Gyangze, Tibet, during Losar, the Tibetan New Year. The flags are printed with the images of deities, prayer texts, or symbols of good fortune and placed where the wind will move through them and carry their blessings across the land.

Crested Iguana, Yaduataba Island, Fiji Islands, 2003
Photograph by Tim Laman
A rare Fijian crested iguana surveys his surroundings from a tree on Yaduataba Island, one of the 333 islands making up Fiji. Discovered by outsiders in 1979, the crested iguana’s numbers are rapidly dwindling due to the brisk spread of introduced species, such as feral cats and black rats.

Drying Mud, Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia, 2006
Photograph by John Stanmeyer
Mud baking in the hot Indonesian sun nearly reached the rooflines in a village in Sidoarjo, East Java. In 2006, a fracture deep within the Earth, likely caused by local natural-gas drilling, triggered a massive release of hot mud that lasted for months and buried the region.

Hermit Crab, Republic of Palau, 2003
Photograph by Tim Laman
A glowing hermit crab tentatively peeks out of its coral burrow in Palau. This island nation, along with nine independent countries, eighteen territories, and Hawaii, composes the Micronesia-Fiji-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot. Rich in vulnerable endemic species, this hotspot encompasses more than 1,400 islands—and an area twice the size of the continental United States.

Buddhist Temples, Bagan, Myanmar (Burma), 1984
Photograph by James L. Stanfield
A view from atop Mingalazedi Pagoda shows sprawling Bagan, Myanmar (Burma), a pilgrimage center covered with hundreds of ancient Buddhist shrines. The monuments, most of which were erected between the 11th and 14th centuries, cover a 20-square-mile (50-square-kilometer) area along the east bank of the Irrawaddy River.

Volcanic Chasm, Vatnaj枚kull Glacier, Iceland, 1997
Photograph by Steve Winter
A column of hissing steam emerges from a gaping 600-foot (180-meter) chasm in Iceland鈥檚 Vatnaj枚kull Glacier. Scalding magma transforms water, pooled at the bottom of this abyss, into billowing steam. In 1996, two weeks after an enormous volcanic eruption beneath the ice cap, billions of gallons of meltwater gushed from a glacial lake, causing Iceland鈥檚 worst deluge in 60 years.

Church of San Pedro Claver, Cartagena, Colombia, 1989
Photograph by O. Louis Mazzatenta
Founded in 1603, this Spanish colonial church holds the remains of Father Claver, who ministered to enslaved Africans when Cartagena, Colombia, had the largest slave market in the Caribbean. He cared for the sick and dying and baptized tens of thousands.

Resting Bushman, Tsumkwe, Namibia, 2001
Photograph by Chris Johns
Bushmen, like this hunter resting in Tsumkwe, Namibia, have had a key advantage over other early societies: their ability to survive without surface water. They know where to find liquid-bearing melons and tubers. They also bury ostrich eggs filled with water during the wet season and recover them later, during the dry. This arcane knowledge allows the Bushmen to live where others could not.

Boot Track Cafe, Mentone, Texas, 2000
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
The town of Mentone, Texas—population 15, more or less—supports a leisurely business at the Boot Track Cafe. The ramshackle restaurant with the lipstick-red posts sets out bottles of hot sauce as centerpieces and serves about 25 cheeseburgers per day.
