The 579-square-mile (1,500-square-kilometer) park opened in 1967 and provides protection to some of Africa's most iconic animals, including elephants, kudu, leopards, and ostriches.

　　A peacock, perhaps competing with the surrounding flora, struts in full regalia amid the roses and manicured hedges of an English garden.

　　Photograph by James P. Blair
　　Lacy tree branches cast their shadows on the Five Raths, seventh century Dravidian shrines to Hindu gods each carved from a single, massive granite boulder. The temples, located in Mahabalipuram in southern India, are, from left to right: The Ganesha Rath, the Durga cell, the Arjana Rath, the Bhima Rath, and the Dharmaraja Rath. The monuments were named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984.

　　Gulf of Alaska, Alaska, USA, 1998
　　Photograph by Karen Kasmauski
　　A sea otter shares the waters of Alaska's foggy Prince William Sound with a spill-containment vessel nearly a decade after the Exxon Valdez ran aground and fouled these pristine waters with 11 million gallons (40 million liters) of crude oil. Intense clean-up efforts after the disaster lasted more than four years.
　　Now, evidence of the spill is hard to detect. But some beaches still have Valdez oil buried just below the surface. And scientists say some animal species, including sea otters, harbor seals, harlequin ducks, and herring, have yet to recover from the spill's negative effects.

　　在埃克森瓦尔迪兹号搁浅后的近十年里，这只海獭一直与这艘外壳泄露的油轮共用着阿拉斯加州威廉王子湾多雾的水域，估计已有近一千一百万加仑(4千万升)的原油排放到净水当中。灾难之后，紧张的清洗工作已持续了四年多。
　　现在虽然已经很难找到泄露的迹象，但一些海滩表面之下仍有瓦尔迪兹的原油。据学者称，一些动物物种，如水獭,海鸥，丑鸭，及青鱼等，仍未从泄露事故造成的负面影响中完全恢复。

　　Lake Hoare, Antarctica, 1998
　　Photograph by Maria Stenzel
　　Antarctica’s perennially ice-covered Lake Hoare bears the scars of sand and dirt that have worked their way from the surface down into the ice. Soil blows onto the lake from a nearby dry valley, warms in the sun, and melts downward, leaving a bubble column in its trail.

　　位于南极洲终年被冰层覆盖的Hoare湖经受着沙尘带来的创伤--它们不断的从表面下沉到冰层中去。风将附近一个干燥的峡谷里的泥土吹至冰层上面，在阳光的照射下，冰层融化，泥土便下沉，留下一条条气泡的痕迹。
