Headlights, Imperial Sand Dunes, California, 2005
Photograph by Gerd Ludwig
Headlights stream up and down the fluid banks of Imperial Sand Dunes, southeast of California's Salton Sea, in this time exposure. An off-roaders' paradise, the dunes were blown from the dry bed of Lake Cahuilla, the sea's ancient ancestor. More than a million fans hit the dunes each year, pumping $54 million into local coffers. The cost? Brawls, fatal crashes, and run-ins with endangered species.

灯头，帝国沙丘，加利福尼亚，2005
在这张曝光的图片中，很多灯头沿着帝国沙丘潮湿的岸边上下流动。该沙丘位于在位于加利福尼亚索尔顿海东南部。对越野者来说，帝国沙丘简直就是天堂。这些沙丘来自于大海的祖先Cahuilla湖那干燥的河床。每年有一百多万的越野爱好者来这里越野，他们在当地的库房投入了五千四百万美元。代价？代价就是争吵，致命的碰撞，以及撞到濒危物种。
图片为国家地理杂志2005年2月索尔顿海拍摄，内容并摘自该文，未发表。

Sunken Treasure Hunters, Atlantic Ocean, 1999
Photograph by Priit Vesilind
A small boat tows a Russian submersible during a 1995 expedition to find sunken gold. The mission sought to raise more than 2 tons (1.8 metric tons) of bullion from a Japanese submarine torpedoed by American forces off Africa's Atlantic coast during World War II. Disappointed treasure hunters recovered only some tin, brass, and an old shoe.

寻找沉没的宝藏者，大西洋，1999
一艘小船拽着一艘俄罗斯潜艇开始了1995年的探寻沉没的黄金的征途。他们此次的任务是打算从一艘日本潜艇上打捞起两吨多重的黄金（1.8公吨）。这艘日本潜艇于二战期间在非洲大西洋海岸附近被美国军队的鱼雷击中。寻宝者们很失望，他们只找到了一些锡、黄铜和一只旧鞋。

Wallace's Flying Frog, Borneo, 2000
Photograph by Tim Laman
Silhouetted against the night sky, a Wallace's flying frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) glides through the air in Borneo. These frogs, the largest of Borneo's flying frogs, gather on branches above murky pools to breed and lay eggs. The pools then make ideal habitat for tadpoles, which drop into the water when they hatch.

华莱士飞蛙，婆罗洲，2000年
婆罗洲，一只华莱士飞蛙（黑掌树蛙）从天空划过，夜空映衬出它的轮廓。这类蛙是婆罗洲最大的飞蛙。它们聚集在浑浊的池塘上的枝叶，在那里产卵、孵化。等到它们孵出蝌蚪后，蝌蚪们就会掉进池塘里，此时的池塘就会成为蝌蚪们的理想的栖息地。

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, 2005
Photograph by Michael Nichols
A pool of rainwater in a Grand Canyon boulder reflects canyon and sky. A writhing giant with scores of limbs (some still unnamed), the Grand Canyon slices 277 miles (446 kilometers) through northern Arizona, extending 18 miles (29 kilometers) at its widest point and 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) at its deepest—one of Earth's largest canyon systems. Cut by the Colorado River in the past six million years, it exposes rock strata that detail nearly two billion years of North America's geologic history.

大峡谷国家公园，亚利桑那州，2005年
大峡谷的一个巨石上，雨后形成的一个水池倒映出峡谷和天空。如一个长了数条肢体的巨人般，大峡谷是地球上最大的峡谷之一，它横贯亚利桑那州北部达277英里（合446公里），最宽的地方宽度达18英里（合29公里），最深的地方深度达6000英尺（合1800米）。过去的六百万年里它被科罗拉多河一分为二，其显露在外的岩层详细地记述了北美洲将近20亿年的地质历史内容。
图片为国家地理杂志2006年1月《意想不到的峡谷》一文而摄，未刊发，图文据此编写。

Photograph by Tim Laman
A twilight mist floats through the rain forest canopy in Borneo’s Gunung Palung National Park. The future of this uninhabited ecological treasure, covering more than 220,000 acres (90,000 hectares), is threatened by ever increasing illegal logging.

1997年，印度尼西亚，婆罗洲，热带雨林中的雾
印度尼西亚婆罗洲的巴隆山国家公园里，薄雾弥漫了整个热带雨林。这个无人居住的宝贵生态雨林，占地超过220，000顷（90，000公顷），由于非法伐木日益猖獗，雨林的前景正受到威胁。

Prehistoric Human Skull, Qafzeh, Israel, 2001
Photograph by Robert Clark
This 100,000-year-old skull was found in a cave in Qafzeh, Israel, along with other fossils, including a horse tooth and burned flints. Cutting-edge techniques were used to date the fossils—revealing that modern humans left Africa much earlier than had been thought, even coexisting with Neanderthals, once believed to be our ancestors.
(Text adapted from and photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "How Old Is It?" September 2001, National Geographic magazine)
史前人头骨，卡夫扎，以色列，2001
在以色列卡夫扎的一个山洞里发现了这具10万年前的头骨，同时还发掘出其他一些化石，包括了一副马的牙齿，和烧焦的打火石。（考古学家）利用前沿技术来确定这块化石的年代，揭示现代人离开非洲的年代比原想的要早得多。这块头骨的年代甚至与曾被认为是我们祖先的尼安德特人的年代（Neanderthals）相符。
图片为《国家地理杂志》2001年9月号的“它有多久历史了”一文而拍摄，未刊发，图文据此文改编
※注：尼安德特人（Neanderthals）是一种在大约12万到3万年前冰河时期本来居住在欧洲及西亚的人种。根据最新的考古发现，现代人并不是尼安德塔人的一种。现代人从15万年前在非洲出现，3万5千年前才到达欧洲，大概在5万年前离开非洲。

Jumbo Squid, Atlantic Ocean, 2004
Photograph by Brian J. Skerry
With an angry eye and a cloud of ink, a jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) flees from a diver. If camou***e fails, squid use ink as a backup defense. Mexican fishermen call the aggressive creatures "diablos rojos"—red devils. They often spew water from their funnels when hauled aboard.
(Text adapted from and photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Beautiful and Beastly Squid," August 2004, National Geographic magazine)
洪堡鱿鱼,大西洋，2004年
一对生气的双眼，一团墨水形成的烟雾，一只洪堡鱿鱼（学名：大赤鱿）迅速从潜水员身边逃离。一旦伪装失败，洪堡鱿鱼就会启动备用防御措施——释放墨水。墨西哥的渔民把这种富于攻击性的生物叫做“diablos rojosr ”（红色魔鬼）。当它被拖上来时，洪堡鱿鱼就会从它的漏斗状部位处喷出水来。
