Halifax, Nova Scotia, 1990
Photograph by James P. Blair
A shed stands in a field of lupine in Halifax. After the American Revolution, Nova Scotia was deluged by New Englanders still loyal to the crown and England. Settling farms vacated by Acadians, the recent immigrants doubled the province's population by the 1780s.

　　在哈利法克斯，一座小屋伫立于开满鲁冰花的田野中。在美国独立战争之后，新斯科舍(加拿大的一个省)涌入了大量仍旧效忠于皇室和英国的新英格兰人。他们安置在阿卡迪亚人腾出来的农场中，到了18世纪八十年代时，这些新近的移民已使全省的人口翻了一番。

The bright Florida sun throws tropical patterns on a splayed saw palmetto frond in the Florida Keys. Found on sand ridges and coastal dunes in every Florida county, Serenoa repens is frequently used as an herbal remedy for incontinence, impotence, and enlarged prostate, among other maladies.

佛罗里达礁岛群,1999

　佛罗里达Keys岛灿烂的阳光在舒张的锯叶棕叶上投下了极富热带风情的图案。佛罗里达各个郡县的沙垄、海滨沙丘均能发现锯叶棕，它常入药用作冶疗失禁、阳痿、前列腺肥大等众多疾病。

Atacama Desert, Chile, 2003
Photograph by Joel Sartore
A vizcacha, close relative of the chinchilla, rests on an outcropping in Chile's Atacama Desert. These sleepy-eyed herbivores are among few species who thrive in the higher, drier regions of the Atacama. They make their living off the sparse vegetation and grasses that manage to grow in this forbidding desert.

阿塔卡马沙漠,智利,2003

一只兔鼠在智利阿塔卡马沙漠露出的岩石上休息，它是南美栗鼠的近亲。这些慵懒的草食动物是在阿塔卡马沙漠中高海拔、强干旱区域繁衍的少数生物之一，它们依靠在沙漠中稀少的植被生存。

Belize, 2000
Photograph by Stephen Alvarez
No longer slithering, a snake skeleton lies silent in Belize's Chiquibul Cave system. A labyrinthine series of limestone caves carved by rainwater and the subterranean Chiquibul River, the cave system in western Belize is home to thousands of intact skeletons dating back 10,000 years or more.

伯利兹城(洪都拉斯首都),2000
一条蛇的骨架平静地躺在伯利兹Chiquibul洞群中，不再游动。
雨水与Chiquibul河地下水雕蚀了这迷宫似的一系列石灰岩洞，这个位于伯利兹城西边的洞群中埋藏着上千具1万年以前生物的骨骸。

Gulf of Finland, 1981
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
Probably formed on the side of the Finnish icebreaker Tarmo, a feather-edged loaf of ice floats in the Gulf of Finland.
Locked in deep ice from February to April, the Gulf of Finland is alternately daunting and delightful. Passing ships are frequently trapped in the waters' notorious ice, but outdoor-loving Finns fish and swim under the gulf's icy crust.

芬兰湾,1981

芬兰湾里漂来一块羽毛状的冰块，它可能是在芬兰破冰船塔尔莫号的边上形成的。芬兰湾总是在冷若冰霜与热情洋溢间转换着，每年二至四月间它将被冰封，让过往的船只饱受“恶冰”之困。但这无法阻挡喜爱户外运动的芬兰人们，他们仍会到冰冷的海湾里钓鱼和游泳。

Falkland Islands, 1988
Photograph by Steve Raymer
A relic from the 19th century, a beached ship anchor lies near the ruins of a whaling station on New Island in the Falkland Islands. Savage seas and harsh weather often thwarted sailing ships attempting to round the tip of Chile at Cape Horn. Shoved by 20-foot (6-meter) breakers and 50-knot winds, battered ships sometimes drifted to rest on the rocky shores of the Falkland Islands.

在福克兰群岛的新岛上，一个被拖上岸的船锚搁置在捕鲸站的废墟旁，这些都是来自19世纪的遗迹。位于智利南端的合恩角，这里有恶劣的天气与咆哮的大海，经常阻挠了过往船只的行进，被20英尺(6米)高的巨浪和50节的狂风打碎的船，有时会随波冲往福克兰群岛多石的海岸边。

Sims Sink, Florida, 1999
Photograph by Wes C. Skiles
A blind, albino crayfish swims through the inky depths of Sims Sink in northern Florida. These colorless crustaceans are among the few creatures that have adapted to the lightless world at the bottom of the region's aquifers, springs, and sinkholes. Many species who make their homes in these freshwater labyrinths are endemic to only a handful of aquifers and are found nowhere else in the world.

北弗罗里达Sims Sink漆黑的深水里，一只晶莹剔透的盲眼小龙虾正在游动。在这个无光的世界中，只有深海含水层与落水洞，犹如坠入淡水迷宫一般。这些甲壳类动物是少数几种能适应此种环境的物种，它们属于地区性生物，仅存在于少数含水层中，在世界上的其他地方都未曾发现。

Caught in the act by a remote camera trap, a sambar deer drinks from a water source in Bandhavgarh National Park, India. One of the most widely distributed deer species in the world, sambars live in forests throughout Southeast Asia and are favorite prey of tigers, for which this park is known.

在印度的斑德哈瓦加国家公园，一头黑鹿正在水源边上饮水，这张照片是由遥控摄影机拍摄的。黑鹿是世界上分布最广泛的鹿类之一，遍布于东南亚的森林里。在这座以虎闻名的公园中，它是老虎最喜爱的食物。
