Photograph by Tino Soriano
The Lady of the Hill stands in her illuminated belvedere as the sun descends on Lisbon, Portugal, below. This vantage, called Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte, is the highest of the seven peaks that nestle Lisbon. Built by seafarers where the Tagus River empties into the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon was once Europes wealthiest capital and the center of world exploration.

Dancers engage in what looks like hand-to-hand combat in Karimabad in Pakistani Kashmir. The dance, performed to hypnotic music played by local musicians, begins slowly and builds to a dramatic, saber-waving crescendo.

意译：主标题――克什米尔（南亚）舞蹈少女，巴基斯坦，1988年。
舞蹈少女从事那看起来像极为接近的白刃战的格斗舞，在（Karimabad）是属巴基斯坦克什米尔。
这种舞蹈表演开始却是慢节奏催眠的音乐，播放的是当地的音乐人，开始时是慢慢地以构造一种戏剧性的挥动马刀致意，那时音乐的声音也渐渐增强。
Like dancers in formation, this group of soft coral shines green in the western Pacific. Soft coral polyps differ from hard coral polyps in that they have eight tentacles while hard corals have multiples of six. Soft corals dont leave behind a hard skeleton when they die, as reefmaking hard corals do.

意译：像舞蹈少女的组合，这一组位于西太平洋的柔软珊瑚虫闪耀绿色的光亮。柔软的珊瑚虫不同于硬珊瑚虫，前者有八条触须而硬珊瑚虫达到软珊瑚虫触须的六倍。软珊瑚虫永不离开它们硬的骨架或骨骼直至它们死亡，就像暗礁是硬珊瑚虫所为。
A master of innovation and a pioneer of high-tech underwater photography, Emory Kristof has helped National Geographic chart the waters of deep-ocean photography since beginning as an intern at the magazine in 1963. In his April 1998 story, "Testing the Waters of Rongelap," Kristof examined marine life, including these longfin bannerfish, in the nuclear weapons-contaminated waters surrounding the Marshall Islands.
