North American wonders reach from from the lofty peaks
of the Cascade Mountain range to the watery paradise of Florida's Everglades.
The South American natural forces can be witnessed in
countless forms--you'll find them cascading over the Devil's Throat of
the Iguazu Falls, flooding Llanos grasslands.
The Australian Great Barrier Reef stretches to Papua
New Guinea, while New Zealand's Tongariro volcano towers above waves of
rugged hills.
The African Congo Basin is a network of swamps and emerald
forests as diverse as the four counterpoints it unifies. The European
and Middle Eastern natural histories include building castles on its rocky
peaks, painting frescoes in its caves, trading through its passes, and
perishing at its mercy.

The dual Asian power of nature is demonstrated through
the elements at play in Asia. Fire-spewing volcanoes raise new lands from
their summits.Ocean-worlds house water-kingdoms. Finally earth-bound and
sky-stretching mountains--figures of inspiration.

fingertips of polar icecaps feel their way across stretches of land and
water, the Arctic and Antarctic form the polar regions of our globe.
