Kilimanjaro Twilight, Tanzania, 1997
Photograph by Daniel R. Westergren
Twilight descends on Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro. Although Kilimanjaro is located just 200 miles south of the equator, the combination of sun angle, thin atmosphere, and extreme elevation means that its upper slopes experience "summer every day and winter every night.",/p>

乞力马扎罗山的晨光，坦桑尼亚，1997
摄影者：Daniel R. Westergren
黎明降临了坦桑尼亚的乞力马扎罗山。尽管乞力马扎罗山离赤道仅仅200英里（322公里），但是日照角度、稀薄空气和绝对高度的共同作用决定了它的顶峰要经历“日日酷暑夜夜寒冬”的境况。

Photograph by Albert Moldvay
A young mouse lemur gets its daily sustenance from an eye-dropper. Unique to Madagascar, some 20 lemur species flit through the forests, resembling creatures put together from odds and ends of the animal kingdom: rodent's teeth, bat's ears, monkey's hands and feet, and flowing fox tails.
