Saudi Arabia, 1991
Photograph by Sisse Brimberg
Cormorants recover in a Saudi pool after the first gulf war. Iraqis retreating from Kuwait damaged nearly 800 oil wells, poisoning 300 miles (483 kilometers) of coast and 600 square miles (966 square kilometers) of the Persian Gulf, including the breeding grounds of sea-faring cormorants and grebes. Six months after the destruction, coastlines were still black and desolate, proving that recovery would be slow for the fragile ecosystem.

沙特阿拉伯,1991
第一次海湾战争后，鸬鹚们在一个沙特水池里复原。伊拉克从科威特撤军时，破坏了大约800个油井，污染了483公里的海岸和966平方公里的波斯湾，包括海洋鸬鹚和??的滋养地。在破坏发生6个月后，海岸线依然是黑色的荒凉，脆弱的生态系统只能缓慢地恢复。

Como Park Conservatory, Saint Paul, Minnesota, 1997
Photograph by Gail Mooney
Hundreds of black-eyed susans bloom in St. Paul's Como Park Conservatory. Unlike its fraternal twin Minneapolis with its sleek skyscrapers, St. Paul has a lower, older, "brickier" profile and a quieter, self-effacing air, which has inspired both Mark Twain and F. Scott Fitzgerald to sing its praises.

科摩公园温室、圣保罗、明尼苏达、1997
几百株黑眼susan在圣保罗的科摩公园温室中盛开。
与它的"孪生兄弟"明尼阿波利斯的高楼大厦不同的是，圣保罗是一种低调的、古老的姿态，一种安静的、谦逊的气氛，马克吐温和菲茨杰拉德都因此而赞美它。

Guelta d'Arche?, Chad, 1998
Photograph by George Steinmetz
"Knee-deep wading is bliss for camels in Chad's Arche?, a canyon whose trapped waters hold a zoological surprise. Fertilized by beasts' droppings, algae are eaten by fish that are preyed upon by an isolated group of crocodiles."
(Text and photograph from "Journey to the Heart of the Sahara," March 1999, National Geographic magazine)
Guelta d'Arche?，乍得[非洲中北部],1998

鱼类。

Diepolder Cave, Florida, 1998
Photograph by Wes Skiles
"o sunlight reaches the bowels of Diepolder Cave, leaving this large chamber—250 feet [76 meters] deep—devoid of life. Florida's caves have been tough on divers too: Since 1960 some 300 have died underground."
(Text and photograph from "Unlocking the Labyrinth of North Florida Springs," March 1999, National Geographic magazine)
Diepolder洞、佛罗里达、1998
没有阳光照射到Diepolder洞深处，使得这个巨大的洞室(76米高)毫无生息，佛罗里达洞穴对潜水者来说也是严酷的：从1960年至今大约有300人丧身于此。
