Moss-Covered Rocks, Vatnajökull Glacier, Iceland, 1997
Photograph by Steve Winter
Wildflowers peek out amid a vast jumble of moss-covered rocks near Iceland’s Vatnajökull Glacier. This view is deceptively peaceful, as Iceland is perched above the volatile Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates pull apart, creating an extensive and active volcano zone.

Sunset, Plaplaya, Honduras, 2001
Photograph by Susie Post Rust
The sun plays a quick nighttime melody over the shores of Plaplaya, Honduras, before it softly vanishes behind the trees. The peoples of these shores are the Garifuna, a hybrid through the marriage of African and Carib Indian.

Ruins, Pompeii, Italy, 1984
Photograph by O. Louis Mazzatenta
The overgrown ruins of Pompeii stretch into the horizon, providing a glimpse into the flourishing urban life of its citizens before the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The volcano has erupted 80 times since unleashing colossal destruction in A.D. 79 but has remained mercifully quiet since 1944.

Rocket Launch, Cape Canaveral, Florida, 1972
Photograph by Otis Imboden
A time-lapse photo captures the brilliant arc of light streaking through the night sky after a rocket blast-off in Cape Canaveral, Florida. This rocket was likely used to launch a weather satellite, which will orbit the Earth and gather data on atmospheric conditions, such as cloud cover, precipitation, and air pressure, used to predict the weather.

Dancing Bushmen, Namibia, 2001
Photograph by Chris Johns
Southern Africa's San Bushmen, like these youth dancing at Namibia's Nyae Nyae Conservancy, are among the most intensively studied aboriginal people on Earth. Interest in this culture is stoked by the idea that the Bushmen are one of our last connections with a hunter-gatherer existence, a way of life that was a human universal until some 10,000 years ago.

Canoe With Fish, Nueva Armenia, Honduras, 2001
Photograph by Susie Post Rust
Wooden dories rest on the shore of a lagoon in Nueva Armenia on the Honduran coast. The sea still serves as a byway, grocery, laundry, workplace, and playground for the local inhabitants, just as it has for centuries.

Petroglyphs, Aïr Mountains Mountains, Niger, 1999
Photograph by George Steinmetz
These 2,500-year-old petroglyphs, portraying figures with tulip-shaped heads and hourglass bodies, mark an ancient human presence in the Sahara desert’s Aïr Mountains. Despite the extreme temperatures and sparse rainfall characterizing these arid landscapes, more than one billion people eke out a living in desert regions today.

Playful Dolphin, Waimanalo, Hawaii, 2001
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
A bottlenose dolphin plays in a lagoon in Waimanalo, Hawaii. Located just a half hour's drive from Honolulu, Waimanalo stretches out lazily along the coast like a sleeping hound. Its long, curving white-sand beach was once used as a backdrop for the television series Baywatch Hawai'i.

High-Rise Construction, India, 1997
Photograph by Steve McCurry
Workers perch on the scaffolding of a high-rise development in India. Massive population growth since independence in 1947 has provoked a boom in infrastructure. India now holds 950 million people, one-sixth of the world’s total. An increasing number are middle-class residents of such “concrete colonies.”

Steaming Laundry, India, 2003
Photograph by William Albert Allard
Untouchables work for a pittance washing clothes at dawn. The Hindu caste system forces 15 percent of India’s population to do jobs deemed “unclean”—anything that involves contact with bodily fluids, such as leatherwork and laundry or burying the dead. Untouchables suffer greatly from discrimination and violence.
