Mason Neck Wildlife Refuge, Virginia, 1996
Photograph by George Grall
"Unmoved by traffic, a female snapping turtle chooses a nest site beside a road…Before this June day ends, she will have dug a hole with her hind legs and deposited golf-sized eggs. The average clutch is 30 to 50 eggs, although a few clutches have topped a hundred. With luck—three out of four nests are destroyed by predators—hatchlings will emerge 75-90 days later."
Mason Neck野生动植物保护区，维吉尼亚，1996
"对交通无动于衷，一只母海龟把它的巢选择在了一条道路旁。在6月末，她将用她的后腿挖出一个洞，把她高尔夫球大小的蛋存在里面。一般有30到50个蛋，有时会达到近百个，如果幸运的话。大约会有四到五成的巢穴会在75-90天之内被食肉动物们摧毁。

Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C., 1916
Photograph by Gilbert H. Grosvenor
One hundred and fifty National Geographic Society employees march in the Preparedness Parade on Flag Day, June 14, in 1916. With WWI underway in Europe and increasing tensions along the Mexican border, President Woodrow Wilson marched alongside 60,000 participants in the parade, just one event of many around the country intended to rededicate the American people to the ideals of the nation.

Not only the anniversary of the day the flag was adopted by Congress, Flag Day is also the anniversary of President Dwight Eisenhower's controversial addition of the words "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954.

作者：Gilbert H.Grosvenor
一百五十位国家地理的雇员，在1916年美国国旗纪念日在游行队伍里行进。由于欧洲一次大战和日渐紧张的墨西哥边境情况，总统Woodrow Wilson组织了一次6万人参加的大游行，希望增强国民的爱国意识。
这个纪念日不只是纪念国旗被国会确立，还纪念了总统Dwight Eisenhower在1954年提出的将"under God"加入对美国效忠宣誓。

Photograph by Sam Abell
A rainstorm batters the sculptured cliffs and canyons of Zion National Park. Often called "Red Yosemite" for its richly-hued 2,000-foot (609-meter) cliff walls that surround a lush river, the intricate sandstone towers and canyons were actually carved millions of years before the glaciers entered Yosemite Valley.

near Truxton, Arizona, 1996
Photograph by Vincent J. Musi
A pesky sprig of wildflowers grows through the asphalt on the side of the old Route 66. The legendary road that stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles became a relic in 1984 when the last stretch of Interstate 40, the high-speed east-west highway, was completed just outside Williams, Arizona.

一棵恼人的野花穿透66号老路的沥青路肩茁壮生长。1984年，当最后一段东西高速--40号州际公路--就在亚利桑那Wiliams外郊贯通时，这条从chicago一路延伸至angeles的传奇大道也就成了一处遗迹。

Southern France, date unknown
Photograph by Maynard Owen Williams
Rowboats beached along a shore are captured in an early color photographic process called Autochrome. Despite the long exposures and complex processing, this technique made National Geographic magazine one of the first periodicals to bloom with color photography. "ot too many people made Autochromes," says Society conservator Robin Siegel. "It was expensive and too much work."
(Text adapted from "Behind the Scenes: Autochromes in Living Color," June 2000, National Geographic magazine)

几艘小舟搁浅在海边沙滩上。这张相片由一种早期的叫"Autochrome(奥托克罗姆微粒彩屏干板)"的彩色相片技术取得。尽管需要长期曝光和复杂的处理过程，但这种技术使《国家地理》成为首先使用彩色相片的期刊之一。“不会有很多人使用Autochrome技术”，Robin Siegel说，"它这么昂贵这么繁琐”

Hikers begin the long, grueling trek up Kilimanjaro, Africa抯 highest peak. Though many are excited by the challenge and adventure, their guides call out "polepole" (PO-lay-PO-lay), the Swahili word for "slowly." At elevations over 18,000 feet (5,486 meters), moving slowly is the only way to adjust to the lack of oxygen and avoid cerebral edema.
