Oman, 1992
Photograph by James L. Stanfield
Telephone poles and oil rigs stand silhouetted against an orange-tinted evening sky in Oman. Oman was once considered an Arabian Peninsula backwater, with only about six miles (3 kilometers) of paved roads as recently as 1970. Oil production, however, which began around 1967, quickly catapulted this sultanate of 3 million inhabitants to unimaginable prosperity.

Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie
Hidden in the dry Red Sea Mountains, St. Anthony Monastery was founded in 356 AD and has operated as a multi-faith Christian monastery for much of that time, though today it is exclusively Coptic. Relying on spring water for survival, the monastery operates as a self-sustained village complete with irrigated gardens, a bakery, and several churches.

Bartolome Island, Ecuador, 1986
Photograph by Sam Abell
Ripples of lava frozen in time wrinkle the surface of Pinnacle Rock off the Galápagos?Bartolome Island. The formation is the eroded remains of a volcanic tower known as a tuff cone. Tuff cones are formed when magma from an inland volcano reaches the sea, sputtering layer upon layer of basalt ash that eventually rises into this monument of nature.

Near Drumheller, Alberta, Canada, 1986
Photograph by George F. Mobley
Thousands of years of wind, water, and glacial erosion have carved out these eerie badlands 400 feet (122 meters) below prairie level in Alberta, Canada’s Horsethief Canyon. Legend has it that during the region’s ranching heyday, horses would sometimes disappear into the canyons and emerge later marked with different brands, hence the canyon’s curious name.
