A column of black ash and steam rises over the village of Capelo on the Azores island of Faial. The source of this 1957 eruption, an undersea volcano just off Faial's southern shore called Ilha Nova, sent car-sized boulders into the air, covered Capelo in ash, and created a new island that eventually connected with Faial and lengthened the island by more than half a mile (0.8 kilometers).

　　一团浓黑的烟气自法阿尔地区亚速尔岛卡佩罗镇升腾入空。位于法阿尔南部海岸附近的名为Ilha Nova的海底火山1957年发生爆发，喷发出大量车身大小的石块，碎裂成灰烬降落后覆盖了整个卡佩罗并将之延伸了近半英里（0.8千米），从而形成一个最终与法阿尔相接的新岛。

Alberobello, Italy, 1979
Photograph by O. Louis Mazzatenta
An aerial view shows the famous cone-shaped, limestone-slab roofs of Alberobello, Italy.
The peculiar rooflines of these cottages, called trulli, help move rainwater to aquifers, and their extremely thick, stuccoed walls help keep the homes cool. Earlier trulli were built without stucco, supposedly to allow residents to dismantle them easily when tax collectors approached and avoid property taxes.

阿贝罗贝洛，意大利，1979
　　空中俯拍阿贝罗贝罗著名的尖顶石灰石屋顶，
　　这种造型奇特的屋顶名为特鲁立（trulli），降水时可顺利排水进入地下层，另外，它们极厚实的灰泥外层能够保持屋内凉爽。早期的特鲁立并没有灰泥外层，据猜测是为便于人们在税务官到来时拆卸房屋以逃避财产税。

Suntanned patrons at the patio bar of Halekulani Hotel’s House Without a Key restaurant enjoy stunning sunset views and a hula show on Oahu Island’s Waikiki Beach.
The swaying hips and undulating arm movements of a hula dancer imitate the waves that wash over Hawaii’s shores. Hula went underground for about 60 years in the early 19th century after Christian missionaries persuaded rulers to ban the provocative dance. It is enjoying a resurgence today.

夏威夷，2005
　　被夏威夷的太阳晒得一身黑的游客们坐在Halekulani Hotel’s House Without a Key餐馆外的露天酒吧里，享受着令人眩目的落日，更有与落霞齐飞的Oahu 岛Waikiki沙滩上迷人的草裙舞。　
　　草裙舞者那臂与臀的扭摆模拟着那些冲击着夏威夷的海岸的浪潮。19世纪初期，传教士说服当时的统治者取缔了这种他们认为过于奔放的舞蹈形式，草裙舞活动不得不因此转入地下长达近60年。如今，这种艺术正在复苏中曼妙起舞。

Peru, 1981
Photograph by Steve Raymer
Three vicuñas graze in tall grass in Peru's Pampa Galeras Reserve.
Prized for their soft, fine wool, vicuñas had been hunted to near-extinction by the late 1960s. Government protections in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, and international trade restrictions on vicuña wool have helped the species rebound. Despite a continued threat from poachers, they are now considered at low risk for extinction.

秘鲁,1981

三只驼马在秘鲁潘帕伽勒拉斯保护区的长草地中牧草。为了获得它们柔软优质的皮毛，驼马在1960年代末几乎被猎杀灭绝。秘鲁、玻利维亚、阿根廷与智利的政府保护，以及驼马毛的国际贸易限制，使得这个物种重新复苏。虽然依然受着偷猎的威胁，但它们已经被认为很少有灭绝的危险了。

Photograph by Sisse Brimberg
Campers await the start of a raucous national day festival in the town of Vestmannaeyjar on Iceland's Heimaey Island.
Held every year on the first weekend in August, this three-day outdoor festival began in 1874, when bad weather kept residents from traveling to the mainland to celebrate Iceland's new status as a republic. They held a celebration of their own, and the rest is history.

A time-lapse photo reveals a smattering of stars dotting the sky above Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.
The landscape that today attracts more than four million tourists was once home to many indigenous peoples, including the Hisatsinom, or Anasazi. They and others survived by growing cotton, corn, beans, and squash along the sandy banks and terraces of the Colorado River some 1,300 years ago.
