English : Detail of the head of a Blue-footed booby (Sula nebouxii), Lobos Island, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. The blue-footed booby is a long-winged seabird with a wingspan of up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft). The species is 90 cm (35 in) high and is easily recognizable by its distinctive bright blue feet. Although the blue-footed boobies are usually associated to the Galápagos Islands (where half of all breeding pairs nest), they can be found from the Gulf of California down along the western coasts of Central and South America down to Peru.

English : Silver relic coffin of Adalbert of Prague (956-997), Gniezno Cathedral, Gniezno, Poland. The coffin was made by Peter von der Rennen of pure silver in 1662 after the previous one, established in 1623 by King Sigismund III Vasa himself, was robbed by the Swedes in 1655, during the Swedish invasion. The Brick Gothic cathedral served as the coronation place for several Polish monarchs and as the seat of Polish church officials continuously for nearly 1000 years. Throughout its long and tragic history, the building stayed mostly intact making it one of the oldest and most precious sacral monuments in Poland.

English : Traditional sulfur mining at Ijen Volcano, East Java, Indonesia. This image shows the dangerous and rugged conditions the miners face, including toxic smoke and high drops, as well as their lack of protective equipment.
