　　Near Perth, Australia
　　
　　Sam Abell
　　
　　The lights of the world‘s loneliest city shimmer to life as the last of the sun‘s rays recede over the Indian Ocean. Separated by 2,000 miles [3,219 kilometers] of desert and mountains from Australia‘s eastern cities, Perth evokes a frontier feeling—a sense that the bush is never far away—that belies its modernistic skyline and air of prosperity.

　　Victoria Land, Antarctica
　　1997
　　Maria Stenzel
　　
　　A geologist hikes above a lake covered by some 19 meters [62 feet] of ice. Despite Antarctica‘s extreme temperatures, the lake is perpetually liquid, its freezing point lowered because of its high salinity—seven times that of sea water.
　　
　　Scientists have found 2,800-year-old microbes in the ice above the lake. They came to life when thawed. Studying this lake‘s ecosystem could yield clues about life on Mars, where frozen surface water is speculated to hold life-forms.
