A paraglider casts a shadow over the dunes of Niger's Ténéré desert. A south-central tract of the Sahara, the 150,000-square-mile (400,000-square-kilometer) Ténéré is one of Africa's most forbidding regions. Hot, dusty harmattan winds blow across the bone-dry desert, which receives an annual rainfall of about 1 inch (25 millimeters).

　　Photograph by Paul Nicklen
　　
　　A mature female leopard seal makes a threatening gesture to protect her kill from another leopard seal that had appeared behind the photographer. "More
　　
　　frightening than the canines," wrote the photographer, "was the deep jackhammer sound she let loose that rattled through my chest." Her display worked; the
　　
　　rival seal moved on.

Breaking Surf, Bora-Bora, French Polynesia, 1997

　　Photograph by Jodi Cobb

　　Lacy breakers lap the coral reef that rings Bora-Bora, an ancient sunken volcano 165 miles (266 kilometers) northwest of Tahiti in French Polynesia's Society Islands. Surrounded by sugar-white beaches, an electric-blue lagoon, and some of the clearest water on the planet, Bora-Bora is home to hundreds of species of tropical fish. Not surprisingly, it's one of the world's top spots for divers.

　　一些洁净的水在行星上，还有数百种热带鱼。不要惊讶，它是世界顶级潜水者的好去处。
