South Africa, 1996
Photograph by Chris Johns
"Homo sapiens flood the beach on New Year's Day at Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, where, thanks to the Natal Parks Board's good neighbor policy, admission is free for local residents. South Africa's torrid zone, northern KwaZulu-Natal teems with tropical life. Along its normally empty beaches sea turtles are making a comeback."
(Text and photograph from "A Place for Parks in the New South Africa," July 1996, National Geographic magazine)

1996年Chris Johns摄于南非,
   "现代智人们,在元旦这天,占满了圣路西亚湿地 (Greater St. Lucia Wetland)公园的海滩,这要感谢纳涛(Natal)公园管理局的亲和政策,允许当地的居民自由出入此地.作为南非的酷热地区,北卡瓦祖鲁-纳涛 (Kwazulu-Natal)到处都有热带生物.而此刻,沿着这些通常很清静的海滩,海龟们正在盘算如何回来."

(译者:"现代智人"---动物学上对于人类的定义称谓,用在这里,的确将人,动物化了,该段文字往好了说是在调侃,往坏了说----那就是在歧视图片中的人.)

North Rustico, Prince Edward Island, Canada, 1986
Photograph by George F. Mobley
A partial solar eclipse is visible through the clouds that cover North Rustico beach on Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province. Sheltered from the sometimes harsh North Atlantic storms, Prince Edward Island stretches 140 miles (225 kilometers) into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and enjoys a warm climate and sandy soil梘ood for both farming and tourism.

Minab, Iran, 1998
Photograph by Alexandra Avakian
A Baluchi woman wears a traditional red mask to conceal her features from public view. Iranian women are, in fact, among the most educated and accomplished in the Muslim world. Before the 1979 revolution 35 percent of women were literate; now the rate stands at 74 percent. In 1999, one in three Iranian physicians was a woman.

1998年Alexandra Avakian摄于 伊朗 米纳布(Minab)
    一位俾路支(Baluchi)妇女以传统红色面具隐藏她的容貌于人前.伊朗女性都这样,事实上,在穆斯林社会里,念过书,和念完书的女性也几乎全都这样. 在1979年大革命以前,有百分之35的女性受过教育,时至今日该比率达到了百分之74.在1999年,每三个伊朗内科医生中就有一位女性.

North Florida Springs, 1998
Photograph by Wes Skiles
A flexible and graceful swimmer, the West Indian manatee migrates annually to Florida's coastal waters. This balmy winter retreat unfortunately holds a palpable danger for these gentle creatures. In 2005, collisions with watercraft and other human-related accidents accounted for nearly 25 percent of all manatee deaths in Florida according to the state's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Boating speed limits and the creation of sanctuaries are just some of the protections put into place by state and federal lawmakers to help save the endangered manatee.

1998年Wes Skiles摄于 北佛罗里达泉
    这是一位柔软优雅的游水者，西印第安海牛每年都会迁徙到佛罗里达海岸水域中。不幸的是，暖冬的来临，明显伤害到了这种生性温和的生物。同时还有报告显示，在2005年与水运工具和人工交通设施发生意外相撞死亡的海牛，达到了海牛总体死亡原因的将近百分之25，在佛罗里达州根据国家渔业及野生动物保护令，国家和联邦立法者加入对船支速度的限制，和水运工具庇护水生物的设计进入保护条款中，籍此来帮助挽救濒危的海牛。

Greenwich, England, 1985
Photograph by Bruce Dale
"One hop bridges east and west at Greenwich, England, where a brass strip marks zero longitude. First used by sailors to fix their position, Greenwich mean time was adopted by railroads and, after 1884, worldwide as the standard for time of day. Time is now set not by earth's rotation, but by satellite and atomic clock."
(Text and photograph from "The Enigma of Time," March 1990, National Geographic magazine)

1985年Bruce Dale摄于英格兰 格林威治
"一下蹦达,跨越了东西半球.在英格兰,格林威治,这条嵌在地上的铜道道是零度经线的标记.最早被用于海员们确定自己的方位,格林威治标准时还被铁路运输和1884年以后的全世界接受,成为每天的时间标准.现在,时间不再以地球的自转来设定,而是使用卫星和原子钟来确定."

Pamukkale, Turkey, Date Unknown
Photograph by Gordon Gahan
Bathers enjoy terraced pools filled with the hot, mineral-rich waters of Pamukkale, Turkey's "Cotton Castle." The trickling water from the mountain's hot springs is heavy with calcium-carbonate. Over the centuries these waters have carved out large flat basins whose surface is coated with pure white calcium deposits.

Pamukkale(棉花堡),土耳其,日期未知

Mars, 2000

"An artful view from space reveals a bracelet-like chain of shallow pits lining a trough created by faulting. The collapse zone appears on a flank of the Pavonis Mons volcano. Some 530 yards (475 meters) wide, the depression could have resulted from the underground movement of molten rock."
(Text and photograph from "A Mars Never Dreamed Of," February 2001, National Geographic magazine)

"从太空中看到一个绝妙的景色：一串象手镯链似的由断层造成的深坑。这个区域在Pavonis Mons火山附近，有大约475米宽.造成这种沉降的原因是由于地下溶岩层的移动。
