Sandbar, St. Clair River, Canada, 2002
Photograph by Jay Dickman
The Great Lakes hold a fifth of Earth's surface fresh water, andthey've shrunk dramatically. For some, like this child playing in theSt. Clair River, that means miles of newly exposed shoreline andsandbars to explore. For others, like those in the shipping and fishingindustry, lakefront property owners, and water-dependent animalspecies, it's a disaster in the making.

Photograph by Michael Melford
Jellyfish drift in the frigid waters of Alaska's Inside Passage. Thesewaters flow through Tongass National Forest—a rich, shadowy, complexplace fecund with life. Among its riches: thick carpets of mosses andferns, streams jet-black with salmon, more bald eagles and brown bearsthan anywhere else in North America, and trees that can live for 500years and reach 225 feet (69 meters) into the sky.

Volcanic Steam, Mount St. Helens, Washington, 2000
Photograph by Jim Richardson
On Mount St. Helens, a volcanic formation seems to come to life as itexhales a cloud of steam. The volcano in southwestern Washington'sCascade Range is most famous for its May 1980 eruption, one of thelargest ever recorded in North America. The catastrophic eruptionkilled 57 people and triggered an enormous debris avalanche that carveda mile-wide (1.5-kilometer-wide) crater on the mountain.

Blue-and-white eyespots adorn the velvety black wings of a butterfly ona Polynesian island. The diffuse Pacific islands make up some 1,400specks of land scattered across an expanse of ocean more than twice thesize of the continental United States. Unique ecosystems here forceanimals to adapt into subspecies that are often endemic to a singleisland.

Dog and Truck, Colorado, 2001
Photograph by David Alan Harvey
A speckled dog catches a ride in Rico, Colorado, the center of a silvermining boom in the late 1800s. But the heyday is long since over, themines are closed, and the town population is down to fewer than 200year-round residents. And for many in this quirky mountain town, that'sjust fine.

Forest Chaser Dragonfly, Taiwan, 2006
Photograph by Jozsef Szentpeteri
A male forest chaser dragonfly displays its gossamer wings in Taiwan. Dragonflies look enough like wasps or stinging flies to instill trepidation among humans. They've been dubbed devil's darning needles, horse stingers, and finger cutters. In fact, these aerial acrobats are harmless, neither nuisance nor danger—unless you're a mosquito.

Colorado River at Granite Rapids, Arizona, 2005
Photograph by Michael Nichols
A time-lapse image blurs the silty, mocha-colored waters of theColorado River as it flows through sheer cliffs in Grand CanyonNational Park. The now tame Colorado carved these steep walls over thelast six million years, exposing rock strata that detail nearly twobillion years of North America's geologic history.
Wrote one canyon trekker: "[T]hat I could reach down and touch a partof the Earth that existed when life itself was a mere billion-plusyears old made this big cliff land seem very holy indeed."
