Japan, 2005
Photograph by Cary Wolinsky
The skeletal remains of a building in Hiroshima, Japan, stand as a reminder of the enduring injury from the U.S. atomic bomb attack there in 1945.
More than half of the city's buildings were destroyed by the bomb, which packed the equivalent of 15,000 tons (13,600 metric tons) of TNT. About 70,000 to 80,000 of Hiroshima's 350,000 residents were killed by the blast, and many suffered long-term illnesses from the radiation.

Aswan, Egypt, 1998
Photograph by Richard Nowitz
A lateen-rigged sailboat called a felucca plies the Nile River in fading light near Aswan, Egypt.

Pakistan, 1988
Photograph by George F. Mobley
Dancers engage in what looks like hand-to-hand combat in Karimabad in Pakistani Kashmir. The dance, performed to hypnotic music played by local musicians, begins slowly and builds to a dramatic, saber-waving crescendo.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, 1990
Photograph by James P. Blair
A shed stands in a field of lupine in Halifax. After the American Revolution, Nova Scotia was deluged by New Englanders still loyal to the crown and England. Settling farms vacated by Acadians, the recent immigrants doubled the province's population by the 1780s.

Florida Keys, 1999
Photograph by Jim Richardson
The bright Florida sun throws tropical patterns on a splayed saw palmetto frond in the Florida Keys. Found on sand ridges and coastal dunes in every Florida county, Serenoa repens is frequently used as an herbal remedy for incontinence, impotence, and enlarged prostate, among other maladies.

Atacama Desert, Chile, 2003
Photograph by Joel Sartore
A vizcacha, close relative of the chinchilla, rests on an outcropping in Chile's Atacama Desert. These sleepy-eyed herbivores are among few species who thrive in the higher, drier regions of the Atacama. They make their living off the sparse vegetation and grasses that manage to grow in this forbidding desert.

New York City, 2001
Photograph by Ira Block
The lesser known of New York's canine heroes, comfort dogs, such as this golden retriever, help soothe those affected by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Similar to search-and-rescue dogs, comfort dogs travel to disaster scenes to aid relief efforts. Studies show that people experience physiological changes—such as a drop in heart rate and blood pressure—when they pet animals.

Belize, 2000
Photograph by Stephen Alvarez
No longer slithering, a snake skeleton lies silent in Belize's Chiquibul Cave system. A labyrinthine series of limestone caves carved by rainwater and the subterranean Chiquibul River, the cave system in western Belize is home to thousands of intact skeletons dating back 10,000 years or more.

Monterey, California, 2007
Photograph by Peter Essick
In the midst of an underwater ballet, a school of sea nettles drifts through California's Monterey Bay Aquarium. Chrysaora fuscescens is a type of jellyfish found in coastal waters from Alaska to California. The invertebrate hunts by trailing its long sting-cell-covered tentacles and ruffled mouth-arms through the water, combing for zooplankton and larval fishes.

Gulf of Finland, 1981
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
Probably formed on the side of the Finnish icebreaker Tarmo, a feather-edged loaf of ice floats in the Gulf of Finland.
Locked in deep ice from February to April, the Gulf of Finland is alternately daunting and delightful. Passing ships are frequently trapped in the waters' notorious ice, but outdoor-loving Finns fish and swim under the gulf's icy crust.

Falkland Islands, 1988
Photograph by Steve Raymer
A relic from the 19th century, a beached ship anchor lies near the ruins of a whaling station on New Island in the Falkland Islands. Savage seas and harsh weather often thwarted sailing ships attempting to round the tip of Chile at Cape Horn. Shoved by 20-foot (6-meter) breakers and 50-knot winds, battered ships sometimes drifted to rest on the rocky shores of the Falkland Islands.

Sims Sink, Florida, 1999
Photograph by Wes C. Skiles
A blind, albino crayfish swims through the inky depths of Sims Sink in northern Florida. These colorless crustaceans are among the few creatures that have adapted to the lightless world at the bottom of the region's aquifers, springs, and sinkholes. Many species who make their homes in these freshwater labyrinths are endemic to only a handful of aquifers and are found nowhere else in the world.

Madhya Pradesh, India, 1997
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Caught in the act by a remote camera trap, a sambar deer drinks from a water source in Bandhavgarh National Park, India. One of the most widely distributed deer species in the world, sambars live in forests throughout Southeast Asia and are favorite prey of tigers, for which this park is known.

Australia, 1997
Photograph by Medford Taylor
Stained rose by the setting sun, a skein of clouds meets twilight over the Clarence River in New South Wales, Australia. Richard Craig—one of a slew of escaping convicts who crossed the "Big River" in the 19th century—is credited with its discovery in 1831. Surrounded by thousands of acres of gorge-carved wilderness, the river is a popular sporting area today.

Micronesia, 2007
Photograph by Tim Laman
Red mangrove roots arch across thousands of Sonneratia alba mangrove root spikes snorkeling up through a mudflat in Kosrae Island, Micronesia.
Intricate both above and below ground, mangrove roots hold the plants upright in sodden soil, supply them with air when the tide rises, and, in some species, even remove salt from seawater.

Workers collect colorful laundry from a rooftop clothesline in India.
European languages did not have a word for the color orange until the fruit of the same name arrived from Asia. The word "orange" comes form the Sanskrit naranga, which means orange tree.

Bolivia, 2000
Photograph by Joel Sartore
A gecko sheds its perfectly camouflaged skin on a tree branch in Madidi National Park, Bolivia. Covering 4.7 million acres (1.9 million hectares) in northwestern Bolivia, Madidi encompasses 19,000-foot (5,791-meter) glaciers in the west, rain forests in the east, pampas in the north, and cloud forest and dry forest in between. It is one of the most biologically diverse areas in South America.

Malgas Island, South Africa, 1996
Photograph by Chris Johns
Dressed in snow-white plumage and golden crowns, a colony of cape gannets nests on the rocky coast of Malgas Island in South Africa's West Coast National Park. The World Conservation Union lists these graceful shorebirds, found almost exclusively in coastal Africa, as vulnerable. The 70,000 cape gannets of Malgas Island share their waters with scores of oil tankers.
