Pines and Palm Trees, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida, 1996
Photograph by Raymond Gehman
Sunset bathes Florida's Big Cypress National Preserve in an orange glow. The preserve, 720,000 acres (291,375 hectares) of primordial swamp on Florida's southwest coast, is home to the elusive Florida panther and an impressive diversity of birds, among other unique fauna and flora. But human development in and around the area threatens to send this fragile ecosystem into a tailspin.

Leopard Seal, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica, 2006
Photograph by Paul Nicklen
A mature female leopard seal makes a threatening gesture to protect her kill from another leopard seal that had appeared behind the photographer. "More frightening than the canines," wrote the photographer, "was the deep jackhammer sound she let loose that rattled through my chest." Her display worked; the rival seal moved on.

Pontoon Rafting, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, 2006
Photograph by Michael Nichols
Rafters aboard a motorized pontoon boat get a thorough soaking on the rain-swollen Colorado River in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park. Each year, some 22,000 visitors board rubber paddle rafts, oar-powered wooden dories, and luxury motorized rafts to ply this storied stretch of the Colorado's waters.

Photograph by Michael Melford
Sunset over the Beaufort Sea plunges Canada's Yukon Territory into a crimson haze. More than 313,000 tourists make summer pilgrimages to the territory, one of North America's last great wildernesses. Today tourism booms there, drawing adventurers to the frontier's glaciated peaks, untouched wilderness, and abundant wildflowers and wildlife.

Mountain Stream, New Hampshire, 1995
Photograph by Medford Taylor
An autumn blush colors trees along a secluded stream in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Part of the Appalachian Mountains, the Whites, as they're called locally, are home to 6,300-foot (1,916-meter) Mount Washington, tallest mountain in Northeastern United States and record-holder for the fastest winds on Earth—231 miles an hour (372 kilometers an hour).

Oceanic Whitetip Shark, Bahamas, 2007
Photograph by Brian Skerry
The oceanic whitetip, one of the most abundant sharks just three decades ago, is critically endangered in parts of its range because of relentless demand for its fins. But bans in the Bahamas on the export of shark parts and commercial long-line fishing have made the islands' blue waters a veritable shark sanctuary.

Berber Woman, Taarart, Morocco, 2005
Photograph by Alexandra Boulat
A Berber woman shows her hand, stained dark with henna for a wedding in the Moroccan town of Taarart. There are about 25 million Berbers—also known as Amazigh—living in Morocco and Algeria. They trace their roots back thousands of years before the seventh century Arab conquest that brought Islam to the region's mountains and deserts.
