Photograph by Emory Kristof
Broken ceiling pieces dangle over deserted pews in a church on Rongelap Atoll, which was contaminated by fallout from the U.S. nuclear test on the Bikini Atoll, 100 miles (161 kilometers) away. Humans left Rongelap in 1985, but its marine life, including sharks, remoras, and coral encrusting anti-ship mines, thrives today.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1978
Photograph by Otis Imboden
Inventor and balloonist Frederick Eshoo drifts over Albuquerque, New Mexico, in his invention, Sunstat, the first maneuverable solar hot-air balloon.
The balloon's clear panels (left) transmit sunlight to heat-absorbing opaque panels opposite, heating the air inside and keeping the balloon aloft. At more than four hours and 12,500 feet (3,800 meters), Eshoo’s first trip was a soaring success.

阿尔伯克基,新墨西哥州,1978

发明家与热气球驾驶者Frederick Eshoo驾驶着他的发明：Sunstat飞越新墨西哥州的阿尔伯克基，这是世界上第一款太阳能热气球。

热气球的亮面（左）传送阳光到反面的热吸收面，加热气球内的空气以保持气球的升力。在超过4小时3800米的行程后，Eshoo的首航非常成功。

Photograph by James P. Blair
The Makarevski Sheltovodskii monastery stands silhouetted against a pearly sky as the waters of Russia's Volga River drift by.
The original monastery was built in the early 14th century, but was sacked by Tatar forces in 1439. It was rebuilt in 1624 and became an important commercial center for Russia, hosting the bustling Makaryev Fair outside its walls annually from the mid-16th century until the early 19th century.

"Prized for farmers for their war on pests and by children for their delicate beauty, the beetles were known to Englishmen in the Middle Ages as ladybirds, creatures of Our Lady. The French called them bêtes de la Vierge, 'animals of the Virgin.'"

“它们因与害虫搏斗的勇敢行为而博得广大农民的赞美，它们因精致的外貌而受到小朋友的热爱，它们是－甲虫。中世纪时期，甲虫在英国被称作瓢虫，也被誉为‘圣母造物’。而法国人则称之为 bêtes de la Vierge，同为’圣母造物’的意思。”

Belgium, 1986
Photograph by Joseph H. Bailey
Bicycles line a street along the Markt, the vibrant main square in Bruges, Belgium.
Much of this historic city has changed little since the Middle Ages, when Bruges was northern Europe's richest port. The stately buildings seen across the street in this photo were once the homes of wealthy burghers, but now lend their medieval flavor to hotels, restaurants, and sidewalk cafes.

比利时布鲁日的充满活力的主广场上，在路旁排成一行的自行车。在中世纪时，布鲁日是北欧最富有的港口，从那时起这座历史悠久的城市就几乎没再改变。照片中，街道对面的那些堂皇庄重的楼房曾是富裕居民的住宅，但如今其中世纪风情已为旅馆，饭店和露天咖啡吧所分享。

Canada, 2004
Photograph by Norbert Rosing
An arctic fox pup awakens from a nap on the summer-greened Canadian tundra.
Most arctic foxes turn white in winter to blend with their snowy surroundings, though some, called blue foxes, wear a brownish-blue coat. These delicate-looking mammals have adapted a host of physical attributes—short ears; a short muzzle; thick fur—to help them bear up under some of Earth's harshest living conditions.

在夏天青郁的加拿大苔原上，一头小北极狐刚从小憩中醒来。大多数北极狐将在冬天变成白色，以适应周围的雪地环境。有些则换上青褐色的外衣，称为蓝狐。这些看似娇弱的动物们拥有适合生存的身体特征，如短耳，短鼻，厚毛等，这些可以帮助它们承受一些地球上最恶劣的生存条件。

Dancers engage in what looks like hand-to-hand combat in Karimabad in Pakistani Kashmir. The dance, performed to hypnotic music played by local musicians, begins slowly and builds to a dramatic, saber-waving crescendo.

在在巴控克什米尔地区的卡里玛巴德，舞者们正在跳一种类似近身搏斗的舞蹈。伴随着当地乐师演奏的催人入睡的音乐，这种舞蹈开始时节奏缓慢，后来变成激动人心，马刀挥舞的渐强乐段。
