Subway Santa, Broadway, New York City, 1987
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
Though Macy's in New York City takes credit for inventing the department store Santa, most historians give the honor to a store owner in Massachusetts. Scottish immigrant James Edgar first impersonated Saint Nick in 1890 for customers at his dry goods shop in Brockton, south of Boston. Here, a crew of off-duty Santas makes its way down the steps of a subway station on Broadway in New York.

Sailplane Pilot, Innsbruck, Austria, 1961
Photograph by Volkmar K. Wentzel
A sailplane pilot over Innsbruck, Austria, glides above the Inn River between cloud-topped ranges. Warm winds that flow in from the south make the mountain valley ideal for soaring.

Iguazu Falls, Brazil, 1962
Photograph by Winfield Parks
One of the world's greatest cataracts shatters the Iguazu River between Argentina (near bank) and Brazil. Excursion steamers from Buenos Aires reach the falls in six days. Brazil maintains the elevator and observation tower at left. Rainbows often paint the entire gorge.

Beetle's Light Tracks, Jamaica, 1962
Photograph by Paul A. Zahl
Dual tracks of light from luminous spots, one on each side of the thorax, chronicle the movements of a click beetle
on a leaf in Jamaica. Unlike the hovering, twinkling firefly, Pyrophorus beetles glow for several seconds then fly
like a comet. To make this image, the photographer followed a time exposure with a flash.
(Photo shot on assignment for "Fireflies, Wing-Borne Lamps of the Summer Night," July 1962, National Geographic
magazine)

Fisherman, Mocha, Yemen, 1964
Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie
Once-thriving Mocha, Yemen, grew rich exporting coffee, cultivated in the mountains nearby, and its name became synonymous with the drink. Decline set in when 18th-century planters successfully grew the bean in Java and the New World. Today blowing sand dusts the town and silts its harbor.

Butterfly Tongue, Pleasant Valley, Maryland, 1968
Photograph by Paul A. Zahl
A bewhiskered face, here magnified 15 times, belies the beauty of a nymphalid butterfly. Hornlike antennae serve as taste, touch, hearing, and smell sensors. Blotchy eyes with hundreds of minute lenses guide the butterfly to nectar-bearing flowers whose colors give off ultraviolet rays visible to the insect but not to humans. To reach nectar buried deeply in blossoms, it uncoils its long, hollow tongue, now tucked between its eyes.
