  • A Zodiac boat explores a blue iceberg arch melting in Neko Harbor (an inlet of the Southern Ocean), at Graham Land, the north portion of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. Scientists have measured temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula as warming faster than anywhere else on earth. An overwhelming consensus of world scientists agree that global warming is indeed happening and humans are contributing to it through emission of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases," primarily carbon dioxide (see www.ucsusa.org). Since the industrial revolution began, humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by 35% (through burning of fossil fuels, deforesting land, and grazing livestock).

  • Pine needles and leaves float on water surface. Diana's Baths are a collection of beautiful pools and waterfalls descending 75 feet (23 m) vertically along Lucy Brook on North Moat Mountain, in White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire, USA. The easy 1.2-mile roundtrip walk starts at the Diana's Baths parking lot on West Side Road in Bartlett, near North Conway. An 1800s sawmill operation here was abandoned by the Lucy family in the 1940s then converted into a historic site protected by the US Forest Service. The White Mountains (a range in the northern Appalachian Mountains) cover a quarter of the state of New Hampshire. Leaf peepers enjoy the peak of autumn foliage around the first week of October.

  • See shapely icebergs from South Sawyer Glacier floating in Tracy Arm Fjord, in the Alaska Panhandle, via day cruise from Juneau, Alaska, USA. We highly recommend the smoothly stabilized day cruise aboard the 56-foot boat Adventure Bound. This journey to the heart of Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness (Tongass National Forest) rivals Norwegian fjords and adds a punchbowl of icebergs from the spectacular South Sawyer Glacier, which calved ice into the tidewater with a rumble and a splash. Whales, bears, sea lions and other wildlife showed up along the way. The fjord twists narrowly 30 miles into the coastal mountains, with peaks jutting up to a mile high, draped with tumbling waterfalls.

  • Chief Petty Officers Lounge, below decks of the 1944 USS Missouri, a floating museum at Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii, USA. Ordered in 1940 and active in June 1944, the USS Missouri ("Mighty Mo") was the last battleship commissioned by the United States. She is best remembered as the site of the surrender of the Empire of Japan which ended World War II on September 2, 1945 in Tokyo Bay. In the Pacific Theater of World War II, she fought in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa and shelled the Japanese home islands. She fought in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. Decommissioned in 1955 into the United States Navy reserve fleets (the "Mothball Fleet"), she was reactivated and modernized in 1984 and provided fire support during Operation Desert Storm in January-February 1991. The ship was decommissioned in March 1992. In 1998, she was donated to the USS Missouri Memorial Association and became a museum at Pearl Harbor, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, USA.

  • A raft of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) floats in Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA. Prince William Sound is surrounded by Chugach National Forest (the second largest national forest in the USA). Tour spectacular Prince William Sound by commercial boat from Whittier, which sits strategically on Kenai Peninsula at the head of Passage Canal. Whittier is a port for the Alaska Marine Highway System, a ferry service which operates along the south-central coast, eastern Aleutian Islands, and the Inside Passage of Alaska and British Columbia, Canada. Cruise ships stop at the port of Whittier for passenger connections to Anchorage (by road 60 miles) and to the interior of Alaska via highway and rail (the Denali Express). Known by locals as the Whittier tunnel or the Portage tunnel, the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel links Whittier via Portage Glacier Highway to the Seward Highway and Anchorage. At 13,300 feet long (4050 m), it is the longest combined rail and highway tunnel in North America. Whittier was severely damaged by tsunamis triggered by the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake, when thirteen people died from waves reaching 43 feet high (13 meters).

  • The Fossil Cliffs in Maria Island National Park (Tasmania, Australia) are one of the best examples in the world of fossils from the Permian and Triassic. A former limestone quarry reveals animal shells immortalized in rock for nearly 300 million years. The grey limestone is studded with thousands of mussel-like shells (Eurydesma), sea fans, coral-like creatures, scallop shells, and sea lilies. The dense deposits in what was a cold polar sea mark one of the biggest extinctions since the Cambrian. Amongst the fossils are large granite and quartzite rocks, drop stones transported by floating then melting ice. A hand picks up an ancient fossil.

  • Mount Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument, Skamania County, Washington, USA: Spirit Lake is covered with floating logs from a forest blasted and avalanched by the May 18, 1980 eruption, the most deadly and destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. The debris avalanche, the largest in recorded history, shrank the mountain from 9677 feet (2950 m) elevation to 8364 feet (2550 m), leaving a mile-wide horseshoe-shaped crater.  Fifty-seven people were killed. 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles of railways, and 185 miles of highway were destroyed. The active stratovolcano of Mount Saint Helens is one of 160 active volcanoes that comprise the Pacific Ring of Fire.  Mount St. Helens, part of the Cascade Range, takes its English name from the British diplomat Lord St Helens, who was a friend of George Vancouver, an explorer who surveyed the area in the late 18th century.

  • Ukiyo-e (“picture[s] of the Floating World") is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from 1600s-1800s. The private "Amuse Museum – Textile Culture and Ukiyo-e Art Museum" opened in 2009 in Asakusa, Tokyo, near Sensoji temple and Ueno Park. The museum houses a collection of everyday clothing and other textiles from the private collection of folklorist Chūzaburō Tanaka. It is operated and owned by the talent and entertainment agency Amuse. The museum is curated with the concept "Don't be wasteful", based on the environmental and social activism of Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai. The museum's collections were started with over 30,000 everyday clothing items from the collection of the folklorist Chūzaburō Tanaka.

  • "Shiva: Shiwana" (1980) by artist Jon Barlow Hudson, is a stainless steel, three-armed sculpture representing the Y-shaped rail tracks of the VLA on which the 28 radio telescopes are moved, and also symbolizing the floating, 3-dimensional nature of stellar objects. Shiva, the god of creation, destruction and recreation references the universe studied by these telescopes and Shiwana is the name given to a healer who obtained his powers after being struck by lightening, from the local Tewa Tribe. The US flag flies against blue sky in the background. The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) is one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories. Visit the VLA on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, between the towns of Magdalena and Datil, in New Mexico, USA. US Route 60 passes through the scientific complex, which welcomes visitors. The VLA is a set of 27 movable radio antennas on tracks in a Y-shape. Each antenna is 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter. The data from the antennas is combined electronically to give the resolution of an antenna 36km (22 miles) across, with the sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter. After being built 1973-1980, the VLA’s electronics and software were significantly upgraded from 2001-2012 by at least an order of magnitude in both sensitivity and radio-frequency coverage. The VLA is a component of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). Astronomers using the VLA have made key observations of black holes and protoplanetary disks around young stars, discovered magnetic filaments and traced complex gas motions at the Milky Way's center, probed the Universe's cosmological parameters, and provided new knowledge about interstellar radio emission.

  • Liquid tanks. Yankee Fork Gold Dredge operated from 1940-1952 near near Custer Historic Site, in Idaho, USA. This floating gold dredge chewed a wide swath of stream gravel leaving rocky dredge tailings along 5.5 miles of the Yankee Fork, a tributary of the Salmon River, near Stanley, Idaho, USA. It recovered an estimated $1,037,322 in gold and silver at a cost of $1,076,100. Visit Land of the Yankee Fork State Park in Salmon-Challis National Forest near Stanley, Idaho.

  • The Fossil Cliffs in Maria Island National Park (Tasmania, Australia) are one of the best examples in the world of fossils from the Permian and Triassic. A former limestone quarry reveals animal shells immortalized in rock for nearly 300 million years. The grey limestone is studded with thousands of mussel-like shells (Eurydesma), sea fans, coral-like creatures, scallop shells, and sea lilies. The dense deposits in what was a cold polar sea mark one of the biggest extinctions since the Cambrian. Amongst the fossils are large granite and quartzite rocks, drop stones transported by floating then melting ice.

  • Hikers are rewarded with a spectacular ice bowl at Crucible Lake (1172 meters or 3844 feet elevation). Crucible Lake still floats big ice bergs in late summer, in Mount Aspiring National Park, Southern Alps, South Island, New Zealand. Hiking to Crucible Lake takes at least 8 hours round trip (10 hours with my photography), from Siberia Hut, on a very steep and rooty trail (2300 feet or 700 meters vertical gain). In 1990, UNESCO honored Te Wahipounamu - South West New Zealand as a World Heritage Area. Published in "Light Travel: Photography on the Go" book by Tom Dempsey 2009, 2010.

  • Misty floats across rocks and flowing water. Krajcarica Creek is in Zadnjica Valley, a short (3.5km), very-steep-sided offshoot of the Trenta valley which descends directly from Mount Triglav (2864 meters/9396 feet), the highest peak of the Julian Alps, Europe. Mount Triglav is proudly depicted on the Slovenian coat of arms and flag. Triglav is the only National Park in Slovenia (in Slovene: Triglavski narodni park, TNP).

  • Castilleja, commonly known as Indian paintbrush, flowers in Mount Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument, Washington, USA. Spirit Lake is covered with floating logs from a forest blasted and avalanched by the May 18, 1980 eruption, the most deadly and destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. The debris avalanche, the largest in recorded history, shrank the mountain from 9677 feet (2950 m) elevation to 8364 feet (2550 m), leaving a mile-wide horseshoe-shaped crater.  Fifty-seven people were killed. 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles of railways, and 185 miles of highway were destroyed. The active stratovolcano of Mount Saint Helens is one of 160 active volcanoes that comprise the Pacific Ring of Fire.  Mount St. Helens, part of the Cascade Range, takes its English name from the British diplomat Lord St Helens, who was a friend of George Vancouver, an explorer who surveyed the area in the late 18th century.
