Charger Leap, India, 1997
　　Photograph by Michael K. Nichols
　　"An in-your-face male, Charger triggered this remote-camera power portrait through a wide-angle lens only three feet [0.9 meters] away.

Oygaing River Rafting, Uzbekistan, 1996
　　Photograph by Dugald Bremner
　　"Challenging the chaos of white water, Andrei Ivanov steers a craft called a bublik—Russian for bagel—down Uzbekistan’s Oygaing River. In a week-long, teeth-gritting adventure, a six-man Siberian team took on rapids in Central Asia with jerry-built rafts, hockey helmets, home-sewn river wear, and a taste for adventure."
　　
　　—From "Wilderness Rafting Siberian Style," November 1997, National Geographic magazine

War of Words, Canada, 1996
　　Photograph by Maggie Steber
　　"A war of words erupted on the walls and airwaves of Montreal before the last referendum, but there was a remarkable lack of violence. To win the next vote—expected within two years—separatists will have to gain the trust of the city’s large immigrant population."

　Hippo Hitchhiker, Africa, 1997
　　Photograph by Chris Johns

　　—From "GeoGuide: Down the Zambezi," October 1997, National Geographic magazine

Australian Flag, Sydney, Australia, 1996
　　Photograph by Medford Taylor
　　Author Roff Martin Smith:
　　
　　"Why leave the life I knew in Sydney for 10,000 miles [16,093 kilometers] of unknowns? I was hungry for a change—which is what drove me to Australia in the first place. When I was 22 and working in Wyoming, I dreamed of living overseas. My foreign language skills were nil, so it had to be an English-speaking country. I wanted to go far away, and Australia was the farthest out there. Yet after 15 years of living there, I realized I didn’t really know the place. That too would change."
　　
　　—From "Australia by Bike," December 1997, National Geographic magazine

Chelsea Physic Garden, London, 1980
　　Photograph by Sam Abell
　　"Ever since [childhood] I’ve sought out the edges and outbuildings of gardens and gone into every greenhouse I could. Even empty ones are interesting. The reason is the soft, wrapping light and the way glass houses, by half separation from the world, create a secluded, sheltering atmosphere—not only for plants but also for people."
　　
　　—From the National Geographic book Seeing Gardens, 2000

　Photograph by Karen Kasmauski
　　"Defying his 85 years as well as gravity, Carol Johnston practices pole vaulting in Walnut, California. Still competitive, he holds the world record—7’6" [2.3 meters]—for his age. He and 34 million others over 65 in the United States are leading a revolution, remaining vigorous and living longer than any previous generation. While science explores how to add even more healthy years to the human life span, a graying society faces inevitable changes in attitude and lifestyle."

　Bandhavgarh Den, India, 1996
　　Photograph by Michael K. Nichols
　　"Resting after a night of hunting, a tigress called Sita remains a sentinel, ready to leap at the throat of any creature that dares approach the den where her cubs lie hidden in India’s Bandhavgarh National Park. Alarming drops in world tiger populations present a quandary: how to preserve wild cats in wild lands as farms and cities eat away at habitat and poachers step up their murderous trade."
　　
　　—From "Making Room for Wild Tigers," December 1997, National Geographic magazine

Clarence River Fog, Australia, 1996
　　Photograph by Medford Taylor
　　Author Roff Martin Smith:
　　
　　"Near Grafton, morning fog rises from the Clarence River, a 250-mile [402-kilometer] stream that I crossed on the way to Brisbane. It’s a painful reminder of the mental fog I was in the first week out, worrying about failure—and humiliation. Then biking cleared my head. My legs toughened, my confidence grew. And the road ran more like a river, gently tugging me downstream."
　　
　　—From "Australia by Bike," December 1997, National Geographic magazine
