Illegal Miners, Ghana
Photograph by Randy Olson
This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
Fevered by hopes of striking it rich, illegal miners claw sacks of "money stone"—gold
ore—from the Pra River in Ghana. Their toil feeds the world's hunger for gold, and
leaves a ruined landscape in its wake.

Two stallions fight at a wild horse conservation center in South Dakota. It's an equine echo of an ongoing struggle across the western United States, where mustangs compete for space with ranching and energy development.

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
Neurobiologist Constance Scharff finds inspiration swimming near her Berlin home. Her
discoveries trace a thread woven through all creatures: "The genetic hardware a bird
uses to learn to sing probably isn't far from what a mouse uses to learn to run a maze,
and what you use to learn to speak."

Brown Bears in Mist, Russia
Photograph by Michael Melford
This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
In early morning mist that rolls in from the coast, two brown bears tussle like teenagers. "I was at this spot a year earlier and saw these bears doing the same thing," says John Paczkowski, a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society. "They sparred for about 40 minutes, taking breaks to eat a few berries." Bears in the Kronotsky reserve often encounter each other at salmon streams and seem to socialize more here than in some other food-rich areas.

Kalimantan miners Sukardi and Suwarni (foreground) spend hours in a pond mixing mercury with ore to separate out the gold, while exposing themselves to the toxic metal. Workers also use the mercury-tainted water for drinking and bathing.

Like curtains drawn across the landscape, the walls of the Toad River Valley yield to
untracked forests and pure lakes in northeastern British Columbia. Years of compromise
and careful planning defined the enormous Muskwa-Kechika Management Area here, where
competing interests—from miners to outfitters, preservationists, and native peoples—
coexist in delicate balance.

The mountain's moods aren't all bad. Spring warmth draws crowds to New England's Tuckerman Ravine, including thrill seekers who attempt to ski a steep headwall. Others simply relax in the sun-washed glacial cirque and bask in the presence of the peak.

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
Bathed in moonlight and swollen with floodwater, the rush of Haw Creek Falls in Arkansas announces the return of spring. To minimize maintenance, there are no bridges along the trail. "In some places you can hop from rock to rock," says Tim Ernst, one of the trail's pioneers. "In others you have to get your feet wet and feel how cold the water really is."
