在一英式花园里，孔雀张开着屏，趾高气扬地走在玫瑰花和修剪过的篱笆中间，也许是在与周围花卉争艳。孔雀漂亮的尾部羽毛，或叫体羽占其60%以上的体长，通常在求偶表演时展开。

Gulf of Alaska, Alaska, USA, 1998
Photograph by Karen Kasmauski
A sea otter shares the waters of Alaska’s foggy Prince William Sound with a spill-containment vessel nearly a decade after the Exxon Valdez ran aground and fouled these pristine waters with 11 million gallons (40 million liters) of crude oil. Intense clean-up efforts after the disaster lasted more than four years.
Now, evidence of the spill is hard to detect. But some beaches still have Valdez oil buried just below the surface. And scientists say some animal species, including sea otters, harbor seals, harlequin ducks, and herring, have yet to recover from the spill’s negative effects.

Lake Hoare, Antarctica, 1998
Photograph by Maria Stenzel
Antarctica’s perennially ice-covered Lake Hoare bears the scars of sand and dirt that have worked their way from the surface down into the ice. Soil blows onto the lake from a nearby dry valley, warms in the sun, and melts downward, leaving a bubble column in its trail.
