Crew members on the space shuttle Atlantis captured this view of Hurricane Gordon in September 2006. Though the storm appears benign from above, its sustained winds howled at some 80 miles an hour (130 kilometers an hour).

India's monsoon rains, seen here lashing palm trees in Trivandrum, Kerala, bring needed water and welcome relief from the long, hot dry season. Unfortunately they may also bring flooding and devastating outbreaks of disease.

A rainbow brightens the sky above the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains in Mexico. The arc, which is created when sunlight is refracted and reflected by water in the air, displays all the colors of visible light.
Photograph by Maria Stenzel
意译：气候图片画廊。彩虹照亮天空之上在墨西哥的Sierra Madre Occidental山脉。那弓形弧，这是造成是当阳光折射和反射到水滴过程中的空气，显示所有颜色的可见光。
（译者补充）：白色的太阳光其实包含有不同颜色的光线，粗略地可分为七种颜色，分别是红、橙、黄、绿、蓝、靛、紫。在正常情况下，我们只会看见太阳光是白色的。但是在雨后放晴的时候，天空中仍残留着一些小水珠，白色的阳光被小水珠折射和反射。由于不同颜色的光有不同的折射率，它们在水珠中被反射到稍为不同的方向。如果我们在特定的仰角去观察天空，会看见不同的水珠反射出不同颜色的光，形成彩虹.。.

Great Salt Lake's water level fluctuates dramatically due to seasonal shifts in inflow water volume and the rate of evaporation. The Utah lake is a closed basin with no outlet for water, so floods like those of the mid-1980s can be severe and destructive.

Grenada's clear waters and warm temperatures draw visitors to the Caribbean island year-round. In the tropics, the area between 23.5 degrees N and 23.5 degrees S, the sun's overhead angle produces little temperature variation between summer and winter.

Death Valley, seen here in a satellite image, is scorching—summer temperatures may top 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). The region also receives less than two inches (five centimeters) of annual rain. Despite these challenges, some plants and animals are able to adapt to Death Valley's inhospitable climate.

The Namib Desert is one of Earth's oldest deserts, and its dunes—which stretch to Africa's Atlantic coast—can tower nearly 1,000 feet (300 meters) high. The region is so dry that it receives more moisture from ocean fog than from its meager allotment of annual rainfall.

Boat Hull, Arctic Circle, 2002
Photograph by Peter Essick
The glassy surface of a boreal forest lake in the Arctic Circle reflects the bright red hull of a boat. The boreal, or northern, forest, is the great globe-circling ecosystem of the north that lies in Russia, Canada, Alaska, and Scandinavia. Its soils are thin, growing seasons are brief, and its plants, animals, and people must withstand intense weather.
(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "The Great Northern Forest," June 2002, National Geographic magazine)
意译：主标题：小船船体，北极圈内，2002年。
那像玻璃表面的一个北方森林的湖在北极圈内，反映了鲜红的一条船的船体。在北方，或北部的森林，是伟大的地球循环生态系统的北部，在俄罗斯，加拿大，美国阿拉斯加，以及斯堪的纳维亚半岛。其土壤偏薄，生长季节是短暂的，它的植物，动物和人一定要抵挡激烈的气候环境。

A volcano in Java, Indonesia, produces yellow deposits of sulfur that prove to be easy but dangerous pickings for a man collecting the mineral. Sulfur often combines into sulfides or sulfates. The nonmetallic element heals and destroys: Doctors use sulfur to treat fungal infections, but it is also a component of gunpowder. Sulfuric acid is an important industrial agent.
