Photograph by Sam Abell
A bare tree stands on a rocky shoreline in Tasmania, a heart-shaped island 150 miles (241 kilometers) south of the Australian mainland. The forbidding landscape of Tasmania, or 揟assie,?as locals call it, was the site of numerous British penal colonies, beginning in the early 1800s.

山姆·阿贝尔1996年摄于澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚岛

一棵光秃秃的树木伫立在塔斯马尼亚岛海岸边岩石上。塔斯马尼亚岛是一座心型岛屿，位于澳洲以南，距离澳洲150英里（241公里）。当地人昵称为“塔西”的塔斯马尼亚岛，曾经是个可怕的地方。从18世纪早期开始，这里是英国众多犯人的殖民流刑地。

Arctic Ocean, Northwest Territories, Canada, 1983
Photograph by Emory Kristof
A smear of red in a desert of pale ice, the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Labrador trudges through the frozen landscape of the Arctic Ocean in Canada抯 Northwest Territories.
The Canadian Coast Guard was part of a mission to explore the sunken wreckage of the H.M.S. Breadalbane, a British ship that went down in the 1850s while on a mission to find survivors of the ill-fated Franklin expedition to map the Northwest Passage.

Loango National Park, Gabon, 2003
Photograph by Michael Nichols
In a true play of might makes right, a mature ghost crab threatens a juvenile on the sands of Loango National Park. The park, too, is waging its own battles against poachers, oil companies, and piles of litter. In one day, trash collectors gathered 535 plastic bottles, 560 intact flip-flops, 4 refrigerators, and 2,240 other bits of debris from 1,640 feet (500 meters) of beach.

麦克 尼克尔斯2003年摄于加蓬隆果国家公园

强权就是公理，这里就有真实的一幕，在隆果国家公园的沙滩上，一只成年沙蟹在威胁着另一只小沙蟹。公园本身也在同偷猎者，石油公司以及成堆的废弃物作斗争。有一天，收垃圾的人就从1640英尺（500米）长的海滩上回收到535只塑料瓶，560双原封不动的拖鞋，4只冰箱以及2240件其他碎片杂物。

Mono Lake, California, 1982
Photograph by James P. Blair
Spires of limestone tufa rise from the shores of California’s Mono Lake. Tufa form when underwater springs rich in calcium meet lake water rich in carbonates, forming calcium carbonate, or limestone. The limestone precipitates in layers over time and can grow more than 30 feet (9 meters) high. Mono Lake’s tufa are particularly dramatic because water diversions have significantly lowered the lake’s level, exposing more of the columns.

詹姆斯 P 布莱尔1982年慑于加州梦娜湖

石灰岩钙华从加州梦娜湖岸边露出。富含钙的地下泉水遇到富含碳酸盐的湖水形成碳酸钙或石灰，这就形成了钙华。石灰石历经时日一层曾地沉淀，能长到超过30英尺(9米)高。梦娜湖的钙华非常特别是因为来水改道而导致湖面明显下降，使得更多的钙华沉淀暴露出来。

Inishbofin Island, Ireland, 1994
Photograph by Sam Abell
An emerald pasture dotted with daisies and flanked by distant sand dunes rolls to the foot of a rustic gate and a stone wall on the Irish island of Inishbofin. Picturesque scenes like this are plentiful on the windy Aran Islands, but tourism driven by the many bed-and-breakfasts, golf courses, and ferries, is taking a toll on these once-rural landscapes.

山姆·阿贝尔1994年摄于爱尔兰因希波芬岛

爱尔兰因希波芬岛，长有雏菊的牧场绿草如茵，两旁远处的沙丘延伸到一乡村大门和石墙脚下。多风的阿伦群岛上到处都有这样如画的风景，但由旅馆，高尔夫球场以及渡口带动的旅游业正在夺去这些曾经的乡村风光。

Pincers poised and eyes gleaming, a bulldog ant surveys its surroundings. These aggressive ants, named for their propensity to latch onto objects, are well known in Australia for their large size and painful sting.

Rocks Provincial Park, New Brunswick, Canada, 1990
Photograph by James P. Blair
The sculpted silhouettes of Hopewell Rocks rise from the muddy waters of the Bay of Fundy in Canada’s New Brunswick province. These sandstone-and-conglomerate sea stacks were spared during the glacial sweep of the last ice age, but bear the effects of centuries of tidal erosion. The Bay of Fundy sees some of the world’s greatest tidal variability, and the constant flow continues to shape these rocks.

詹姆斯 P 布莱尔1990年摄于加拿大新不伦瑞克省立岩石公园

加拿大新不伦瑞克省，芬地湾好望角奇石侧影象雕塑一样伫立在泥泞的海水上。这些砂砾岩的海上堆积是上次冰河期冰川袭过留下的，但又经历了千百年潮水的侵蚀。芬地湾见证了也许是地球上最大的潮汐变化，而持续的洋流继续改变着这些岩石的形状。

Marsabit National Reserve, Kenya, 1969
Photograph by Bruce Dale
Long ears and an almost giraffe-like neck identify this gerenuk, or Waller's gazelle, standing in a clearing in Marsabit National Reserve in northern Kenya. The 579-square-mile (1,500-square-kilometer) park opened in 1967 and provides protection to some of Africa's most iconic animals, including elephants, kudu, leopards, and ostriches.
