Olympic National Park, Washington, 1984
Photograph by Sam Abell
A mist-strewn landscape and a lone rustic cabin give this scene in Washington’s Olympic National Park a storybook appearance. The park covers 1,442 square miles (3,735 square kilometers) and includes glaciers, mountains, lakes, meadows, and the lush Hoh Rain Forest, known for its gargantuan conifers, dense mosses, and mythical-size fungi.

Beijing, China, 1982
Photograph by Dean Conger
A setting sun silhouettes two pedestrians as they descend Kunming Lake’s Seventeen Arch Bridge. The footbridge leads from the Pavilion of Broad View, visible at left, to South Lake Isle. All are part of the opulent Summer Palace in western Beijing, a summer retreat built in the mid-1700s for Qing Dynasty imperial rulers.

Ilan, Taiwan, 1993
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
A stretch of open road in Taiwan lies empty due to heavy rains that canceled that year’s Dragon Boat Festival. This festival, held in the small northeast village of Ilan, features dragon boat races, firecrackers, and throngs of cheering spectators. Even as it forges forward with booming industries and soaring skyscrapers, Taiwan struggles to preserve fleeting tokens of its ancient heritage.

Arizona, 1997
Photograph by Vincent J. Musi
Framed by overgrowth, a fractured mirror clinging to an abandoned car reflects the Arizona countryside along historic Route 66. Now mostly abandoned, Route 66 was the primary route between Chicago and Los Angeles in the mid-twentieth century, a route especially popular with Dust Bowl migrants.

Afghanistan, 1968
Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie
Camels cast shadows across the Qala-e-Bost arch in southern Afghanistan’s Helmand province. The 11th century arch, which appears on the 100 Afghani note, marks the principal approach to the ancient fortress citadel of Bost, later renamed Lashkar Gah.
Over the centuries, the city bore multiple assaults by the Ghorids, Genghis Khan, and Tamerlane. Today it is the capital of the Helmand province.

Queensland, Australia, 1996
Photograph by Sam Abell
Despite the region's inhospitable climate—five months of torrential rains followed by seven months of drought, plus infertile soil and frequent lightning-sparked bush blazes—Cape York Peninsula is home to 379 rare or endangered plant species. The region is one of Australia's most complex ecosystems, with rain forest, grassland, wetland, and scrub coexisting in close quarters.

The spectacular landscape of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve is the result of a 1980 congressional act that set the 13.2 million acres (5.3 million hectares) of land aside to remain undisturbed. One of the United States' biggest national parks, Wrangell-Saint Elias is home to grizzly bears, wolves, caribou, moose, mountain goats, and Dall sheep.

Photograph by Flip Nicklin
A bearded seal relaxes near the edge of an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean near Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago. These seals, which are rarely found in groups, spend most of their time in the water. Even at one week old, bearded seal pups can dive for five full minutes to depths of 250 feet (76 meters).

Venice, Italy, 1994
Photograph by Sam Abell
Spectators in motorboats wait for the racing gondolas to pass during Il Palio Delle Quattro Antiche Repubbliche Marinare, a regatta which pits rowers from each of Italy's maritime republics—Venice, Genoa, Pisa, and Amalfi—against each other. With streets no bigger than sidewalks, rowing is serious business in Venice, which has 42 boating associations and no cars.
The next Palio will be held in Venice in May 2007.

Sydney, Australia, 1978
Photograph by Robert W. Madden
A duck leaves a clear trail as it swims through algae-covered waters in Sydney—but the duck isn’t the only "green" lover in this bustling city. Laborers working on Sydney's famed opera house refused to build an underground parking garage next door for fear of killing three historic fig trees in the Botanic Gardens.

Gabon, 2000
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Viewed from a mountain summit, the canopy of Minkebe Forest in Northern Gabon lies shrouded in mist.
Photographer Mike Nichols took this shot while accompanying explorer Michael Fay on his grueling 15-month, 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) trek across Africa to catalog the region’s pristine forests and promote their protection. As a result of Fay’s efforts, President El Hadj Omar Bongo of Gabon set aside more than 10,000 square miles (26,000 square kilometers) of land to form a national park system protecting 13 separate parks.
