Crested Crane, Zaire, 1995
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Backlit by the setting sun, a crested crane forages in the African savanna. Also called grey-crowned cranes, these ostentatiously adorned birds are known for their equally flamboyant courtship dances, which involve, among other flourishes, head-bobbing, jumping, wing-flapping, and stick-tossing.

Tomb Paintings, Bahariya Oasis, Egypt, 2001
Photograph by Kenneth Garrett
Paintings adorn the walls of the mortuary complex of Zed-Khons-uef-ankh, who ruled Bahariya during Egypt's 26th dynasty (664-525 B.C.), a time when the isolated oases of the Western Desert were strategically important buffers against Libyan invaders. Archaeologists had been looking for his tomb since finding those of his relatives in 1938.

Fisherman, Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar (Burma), 2005
Photograph by Nicolas Reynard
A Moken fisherman works on his boat in the Andaman Sea, off the coast of Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago. Members of this nomadic sea culture spend most of their lives in their boats, fishing and diving in the waters around the archipelago’s 800 islands. As their old saying goes, “The Moken are born, live, and die on their boats, and the umbilical cords of their children plunge into the sea.”

Reef Shrimp, Cuba, 2002
Photograph by David Doubilet
A tiny red shrimp plies the sandy sea bottom near the pristine coral reefs of Cuba. With the largest submerged shelf of all Caribbean islands, Cuba sustains astonishing marine biodiversity. Many reefs there remain nearly unscathed.

Human Skull, Peru, 2000
Photograph by Gordon Wiltsie
All that remains of the Peruvian cloud people, the Chachapoya, lie in muddy tombs such as this one on the eastern slopes of the Andes. The ancient culture, which built mountaintop fortresses and fiercely resisted the Inca, survived from the 9th to the 15th centuries. Many of the trinkets the Chachapoya buried with their dead have been lost to looters over the centuries.

Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico, United States, 2003
Photograph by Amy Toensing
Under cloudy night skies, palm trees stand awash in green light on Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico. This scenic view of an empty beach may be deceiving—more than four million people inhabit this island, which is only a hundred miles (160 kilometers) long and 35 miles (56 kilometers) wide.

Eel Blenny, Cuba, 2002
Photograph by David Doubilet
Tiny blennies such as this spinyhead poke out from the coral in Cuba's Cayo Largo, always on the lookout for edible items within darting reach. "They are no bigger than an infant's finger, but they are tigers—extremely aggressive and territorial," says photographer David Doubilet. "They seem to have no concept of their own size."

Smoke and Prayer Flags, Lhasa, Tibet, 2000
Photograph by Maria Stenzel
Incense smoke clouds the air as sun streams through strings of prayer flags during New Year celebrations in Lhasa, Tibet. The fragrant smoke of juniper and artemisia is thought to be pleasing to the spirits of land and sky.

Trango Tower, Karakoram Mountains, Pakistan, 1996
Photograph by Bill Hatcher
Tucked within the Karakoram Range of the Himalaya near the Pakistan-China border, the spires of the Trango Group protrude from the icy landscape like shark's teeth. Within this group stands Trango Tower, a sheer, nearly 3,000-foot (915-meter) dagger of granite. In 1996, a group of intrepid mountaineers became the first to successfully free-climb the tower's East Face. Here, expedition member Todd Skinner works to set up a hanging camp anchored to the tower some 19,500 feet (5,950 meters) above sea level.

Tree Frog, Pacific Islands, 2003
Photograph by Tim Laman
A tree frog shows off its broad and effective grip while clinging to a tree trunk in the Pacific Islands. Frogs—particularly tropical species—are vanishing at alarming rates, in part due to disease epidemics attributed to climate change. Amphibian skin is incredibly thin, making frogs acutely susceptible to changes in temperature, humidity, or water quality.
