San Diego, California, 1997
Photograph by Phil Schermeister
Nighttime is the right time to dine at the San Diego Pier Café, where first-rate seafood complements a breathtaking view of San Diego Bay and the illuminated San Diego-Coronado Bridge.
San Diego, a sprawling city that spreads across 320 square miles (829 square kilometers) of hill, canyons, and shoreline, has a venerable history. Europeans first set foot here around 1542, 78 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.

Near Yap Islands, Micronesia, 1995
Photograph by David Doubilet
A multi-colored scallop sits open-mouthed on a reef off the Yap Islands in Micronesia. Unlike most mollusks, which tend to anchor themselves in colonies and stay put, scallops have the gift of locomotion. They move in short spurts by closing their mantle quickly, ejecting water and jet-propelling themselves backwards.
Scallops also have the distinction of eyesight. Their eyes, sometimes numbering more than a hundred, are quite sophisticated, each with a lens, retina, and optic nerve. These tiny peepers line the upper part of the mantle (seen as orange dots on this specimen) and work together to detect shadows and movements.

Jerusalem, Israel, 1984
Photograph by James L. Stanfield
A view from Mount Scopus shows whitewashed above-ground tombs of the Muslim Cemetery outside the walls around Jerusalem's Old City. The Dome of the Rock Mosque (right) and the silver-domed Al-Aqsa Mosque (left) rise from inside the city walls.
Jerusalem, the capital of the Jewish state of Israel, is home to religious sites that are profoundly important in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, a source of constant tension in the ancient city.

Maderas del Carmen, Mexico, 1993
Photograph by Bruce Dale
Wiry bloom stalks from two sotol plants lean toward sunlight that streams through a break in the clouds in the Maderas del Carmen Protected Area. The mountainous park in Mexico's Coahuila State joins with Big Bend National Park on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande.
Sotol is a favorite snack of black bears, and its blooms attract swarms of flying insects including flies, bees, and butterflies. Juice from the stem is somewhat sweet and can be pressed and fermented to make the fiery liquor mescal de sotol.

Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland, 1976
Photograph by Bianca Lavies
A baby snapping turtle and baby bullfrog take advantage of unusual circumstances to get a good look at each other at Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. Once full-grown snapping turtles are at the top of the pond food chain, but until then they are lunch to adult bullfrogs and other predators.

Hawaii Island, Hawaii, 1983
Photograph by Steve Raymer
Roads on Hawaii’s Big Island are often flanked with miles of "Island graffiti," like this love note. Instead of spray paint though, bits of white coral harvested from local beaches are arranged into messages, which seem to glow against the island's black lava expanses.

But tourists beware: Removing the coral from beaches is illegal. And disturbing an already-posted message is considered rude and supposedly brings bad luck.

Honshu Island, Japan , 1982
Photograph by George F. Mobley
Skiers dot the slopes in this night view of the Happo-One Ski Resort in the Japan Alps' Hida Range near Tokyo, Japan.
Skiing was brought to Japan in 1911 when the imperial general staff asked the Austrian Army for help training ski troops. The officer dispatched by Vienna brought his own skis, equipped with modern bindings. Within four weeks, Japan's imperial armory in Tokyo had produced 30 perfect replicas of the bindings and delivered them to the country's first ski-infantry division.

Death Valley National Monument, California, 1998
Photograph by Len Jenshel
Abandoned charcoal kilns sit in Wildrose Canyon in Death Valley National Monument. The 25-feet-tall (7.6-meter-tall) beehive-shaped kilns were built in 1877 by the Modock Consolidated Mining Company to produce charcoal for a nearby silver-lead smelting plant. The furnaces were closed after only about a year when deteriorating ore quality forced the silver mines to shut down.
According to the National Park Service, the kilns, which still smell of smoke, held up to 42 cords of pinyon pine logs and could produce 2,000 bushels of charcoal per week. Due to their short usage time and quality construction, they are considered among the best surviving examples of such kilns in the western United States.

New Delhi, India, 1996
Photograph by Cary Wolinsky
A woman applies a delicate grid of henna paste to a celebrant’s hand already painted with lacy paisleys. Henna comes from the leaves of a shrub, Lawsonia inermis, that have been dried, ground to a powder, and mixed with water. The dye, which fades from the skin after a few days or weeks, is as popular today with Western trend-setters as it was centuries ago in ancient Egypt.

Crystal Lake, Vermont, 1997
Photograph by Michael S. Yamashita
A row of red lawn chairs lines the shore of Crystal Lake, a 778-acre (315-hectare) glacial lake in northeastern Vermont popular for swimming, boating, and fishing.
The lake area is known as the place where Robert Rogers retreated with his legendary Rogers' Rangers regiment in 1759 following an infamous raid on an Indian enclave in St. Francis, Quebec, during the French and Indian War.

Reykjahlid, Iceland, 2000
Photograph by Sisse Brimberg
Overcast skies portend a rough day for boats on Iceland’s Lake Myvatn.
The lake, named after the swarms of gnats that breed around it, is surrounded by wetlands and volcanic landforms, including lava fields, lava pillars, volcanic cones, and boiling mud flats. Iceland lies on the convergence of two tectonic plates and is one of the most volcanically active areas in the world.

Hong Kong, China, 1999
Photograph by Steve McCurry
A plate-glass-wrapped Hong Kong high-rise glimmers in the afternoon light.
Hong Kong’s tall buildings are linked through a system of escalators and moving sidewalks, including the Central Mid-Levels Escalator, the longest outdoor, covered escalator system in the world. The 2,600-foot (800-meter) structure, consisting of 20 escalators and 3 moving sidewalks, allows commuters and tourists to high-rise-hop without ever descending to the ground.

India, 2003
Photograph by William Albert Allard
Festive lights bring a bit of sparkle to a slum in an Indian city.
Although India’s constitution forbids caste discrimination, Hinduism’s rigid social codes continue to govern daily life for 80 percent of the population. One out of six Indians is born to the achuta, or Untouchable caste, which governs where they live, what work they perform, and with whom they may socialize.

(Text adapted from and photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Untouchable, " June 2003, National Geographic magazine)

New Orleans, Louisiana, 2000
Photograph by Bob Sacha
An infrared view of a New Orleans street gives this cemetery scene a psychedelic air.
Burials in New Orleans demand creative solutions due to the city’s high water table. In the past, New Orleanians weighed coffins with stones or even bored holes in them to keep them from floating to the surface. Today, caskets are usually placed in above-ground-vaults, like the ones pictured here.

Sydney, Australia, 2000
Photograph by Annie Griffiths Belt
Storm clouds paint the sky over Circular Quay, the heart of Sydney Harbor and the gateway for many of the city’s waterside attractions, including the Sydney Opera House, at right. A sequence of nested concrete shells forms the roof of this iconic structure, which opened in 1973 after almost three decades of planning and construction.

Armenia, 2004
Photograph by Alexandra Avakian
An Armenian tightrope walker steadies himself with his balance pole as he prepared to perform a trick.
Throughout its history Armenia has walked a sort of geopolitical tightrope of its own, situated as it is on one of the region's most venerable trade routes—the land bridge between Europe and Asia. Centuries of invasion and foreign rule have shaped and reshaped this tiny republic's borders and hammered an ethic of resilience into its people.

Vallejo, California, 1995
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Water flies as a young white tiger shakes itself dry in a pool at California’s Marine World Africa USA. (Now called Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.)
White tigers are extremely rare in nature, and many seen in zoos today are produced through controversial inbreeding. White tigers can be born to normal-colored tigers if both parents carry the recessive gene for white coloring.

Chiyoda, Japan, 1977
Photograph by H. Edward Kim
During a rice planting festival in Japan, the women of Chiyoda stoop and plant in unison while drummers and bamboo-clacking musicians set the tempo for the accompanying pipers. As the dance master leads the troupe, he calls out, "What flower blooms in the front field? Rice flowers, money flowers, flowers of perfect virtue."
(Text adapted from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Day of the Rice God," January 1982, National Geographic magazine)

Siberia, Russia, 2002
Photograph by Mark Thiessen
A Russian smokejumper leaps from an Antonov An-2 biplane to battle wildfires in a Siberian forest.
Every summer 4,000 smokejumpers from Avialesookhrana, Russia’s aerial forest protection service, patrol two billion acres (809 million hectares) of the largest coniferous forest in the world extinguishing thousands of the region’s 20,000 to 35,000 annual wildfires.
