Namche Bazar, Nepal, 1986
Photograph by James P. Blair
Surrounded by the majestic Himalaya, Sherpas walk along a stone wall in the verdant hillside village of Namche Bazar, Nepal, a last stop on the way to Mount Everest. In recent years, walls and fir saplings have been positioned around the valley to prevent erosion caused by excessive tree cutting in the past.

Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia, 1995
Photograph by Sam Abell
Surf froths around the wind-and-water-eroded coastal tunnels in southwestern Australia’s Port Campbell National Park. Retreating tides have left jagged limestone formations around the park’s coastline, giving the area its historical notoriety as a ships’ graveyard.

Members of a Polish family load hay onto a horse-drawn wagon in a village near the towering Tatra Mountains, seen in the background.

Vijayanagar, India, 1986
Photograph by James P. Blair
Silvery waters wend around a tumble of boulders as dhobis (low-caste washermen) wash and beat village laundry on the banks of the Tungabhadra River in Vijayanagar, India. The city, in southern India’s Karnataka state, was once the seat of the Vijayanagar Empire, which dominated the south of India from A.D. 1300 to 1500.

Arkansas, United States, 1994
Photograph by Ian C. Martin
Sunlight glints off a tranquil lake in central Arkansas. The site is near historic Arkansas Route 7, which goes through Hot Springs, boyhood home of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and continues deep into the Ozark National Forest, where signs warn that the road is “crooked and steep,” and weary drivers can stop at a hillbilly trading post called “Booger Hollow.”

Pinnacle Rock, Bartolome Island, Ecuador, 1986
Photograph by Sam Abell
Pinnacle Rock looms under a brooding sky off the Galápagos’ Bartolome Island. The island’s most famous feature (it even got airtime in the movie, Master and Commander ) is actually an eroded lava formation called a tuff cone. When hot lava from a now-extinct volcano on land reached the sea, the temperature difference caused explosions, producing thousands of thin layers of basalt ash that eventually formed into this towering monument.
Pinnacle Rock （山地名，小尖塔石的意思），在Galápagos’ Bartolom岛愁绪般的天空下隐现。该岛最有名的特点是（上过电影呢，Master adn Commander）,实际上是一种侵蚀掉的熔岩结构称为凝灰岩锥。....

Black Hills, South Dakota, 1995
Photograph by Daniel R. Westergren
A boat and water skier cruise by on one of several lakes located in South Dakota’s Black Hills. The Black Hills get their name from the dark cloak of ponderosa pine trees that cover the landscape.
在南达科塔州Black Hill地区的某一个湖上，一个船与水滑行者（不知道对应的中文）游戈而过。 Black Hills （黑山）以覆盖该地形的Ponderosa松的黑斗篷 而得名。
