A Qatari man in a traditional white dishdasha robe and a wind-blown red-and-white kaffiyeh stands before a sandstone formation near Dukhan. Qatar, a desert-covered Persian Gulf peninsula about the size of Jamaica, may be small, but its oil and natural gas reserves give it big clout. Per capita incomes there are among the highest in the world.

Churches and Steeples, Salzburg, Austria, 2004

Snow rimes the classic dome- and spire-studded skyline of Salzburg, Austria. This elegant city's unique architecture is the legacy of a long line of prince-archbishops, powerful ecclesiastical rulers who used profits from the city's nearby salt mines to turn their seat of power into a little piece of Baroque Italy transported to the Austrian Alps.

Horseman Near a Lake, Mongolia, 2003

Each fall dwindling grasslands and frigid Siberian air send a thousand people and some 60,000 animals on a treacherous journey out of Mongolia mountain-ringed Darhad Valley to winter pastures near Lake Hovsgol, where this lone horseman rides. And each spring they pack up and go back.

湖边骑马者，蒙古，2003

一到秋天，可用牧场面积缩减，西伯利亚寒冷空气侵袭，数以千计的蒙古人和6万多数目的动物不得不离开蒙古山峦环抱的达哈德谷地，辗转迁徙到呼吾思固尔湖边的牧场过冬，也就是图中骑马者所处位置。每年春天，他们又收拾行囊重返达哈德山谷。

Chinstrap Penguin, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica, 2006

A solitary chinstrap penguin stands at attention on the rocky shore of the Antarctic Peninsula. These penguins, which rely less on sea ice than other species do for their survival, have thrived as climate change has warmed the ocean around Antarctica. Since 1974 their numbers have increased by some 2,700 percent.

颊带企鹅，南极半岛，南极洲，2006

一只孤零零的企鹅立正站在南极半岛的岩石海岸上。与其他企鹅相比，这种南极企鹅很少依赖海水结冰生存，由于温室效应导致南极洲周围海水温度升高，企鹅数量就开始猛增。自1974年，颊带企鹅数量大约增加了26倍。
