A peacock, perhaps competing with the surrounding flora, struts in full regalia amid the roses and manicured hedges of an English garden.
A peacock抯 brilliant tail feathers, or coverts, make up more than 60 percent of the bird抯 total body length and are usually deployed during courtship displays.

在一英式花园里，孔雀张开着屏，趾高气扬地走在玫瑰花和修剪过的篱笆中间，也许是在与周围花卉争艳。孔雀漂亮的尾部羽毛，或叫体羽占其60%以上的体长，通常在求偶表演时展开。

Gulf of Alaska, Alaska, USA, 1998
Photograph by Karen Kasmauski
A sea otter shares the waters of Alaska’s foggy Prince William Sound with a spill-containment vessel nearly a decade after the Exxon Valdez ran aground and fouled these pristine waters with 11 million gallons (40 million liters) of crude oil. Intense clean-up efforts after the disaster lasted more than four years.
Now, evidence of the spill is hard to detect. But some beaches still have Valdez oil buried just below the surface. And scientists say some animal species, including sea otters, harbor seals, harlequin ducks, and herring, have yet to recover from the spill’s negative effects.

Lake Hoare, Antarctica, 1998
Photograph by Maria Stenzel
Antarctica’s perennially ice-covered Lake Hoare bears the scars of sand and dirt that have worked their way from the surface down into the ice. Soil blows onto the lake from a nearby dry valley, warms in the sun, and melts downward, leaving a bubble column in its trail.

A flock of black-necked stilts glides over the waters surrounding Long Island in the Bahamas.

Tennessee's Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge. Duckweed, the world's smallest flowering plant, grows on the surface of still or slow-moving water. It grows rapidly—sometimes too rapidly, occasionally covering whole lakes or drought-slowed rivers—and provides protection for water creatures, control of excess minerals, and a barrier against evaporation.

Gifford Pinchot is home to Mount St. Helens, and was ground zero of the battle between logging interests and those seeking to protect the northern spotted owl.

A shimmering travertine deposit forms a limestone terrace around a mineral spring at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.
This formation, called Minerva Terrace, formed as mineral-laden water bubbled over and evaporated, leaving a sparkling white calcium-carbonate crust. These deposits, which can accumulate at up to a foot (30 centimeters) per year, create a spectacular and constantly changing landscape.
