  • Aftermath of the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, San Francisco, California. Damage in the Marina District of San Francisco resulting from the earthquake that occurred at 5:04 PM and lasted 15 seconds. At a magnitude of 7.1, it was the worst earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1906. The earthquake left parts of San Francisco without power for four days; at least 27 fires broke out across the city, a four-foot tsunami wave traveled from Santa Cruz (which also suffered considerable damage to its downtown structures) to Monterey, and in Oakland parts of the Cypress Structure freeway collapsed onto each other.

  • Aerial photograph of the San Andreas Fault in California as it crosses the Carrizo Plain. The Earth's crust is fractured into a series of "plates" that have been moving very slowly over the Earth's surface for millions of years. Two of these moving plates meet in western California; the boundary between them is the San Andreas fault. The Pacific Plate (on the west) moves northwestward relative to the North American Plate (on the east), causing earthquakes along the fault. The San Andreas is the "master" fault of an intricate fault network that cuts through rocks of the California coastal region.

  • Seal hunter Emil Madsen shouts commands to his dogs as they try to get over a crack in the ice near Cap Hope Village in Greenland.  (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Getting over these cracks can be very dangerous as there is always the very serious worry of falling in. In the spring this can be dangerous because the ice is breaking up and sometimes huge pieces break off and move out to sea. When the snow crust is hard enough to ensure that the dogs won't break through, they can pull the half-ton weight of the sled for hours on end. On level ground, the animals pull at about the pace of a running human, but the sleds can whip down hills so fast that drivers must step on the brake at the rear of the sled to avoid running over their dogs.  MODEL RELEASED.

  • Chaurino Perez Andrate, 17, offers a plate-sized sample of roasted Theraphosa leblondi, the world's largest tarantula in his village of Sejal, Venezuela. Chaurino stuns the leblondi by whacking it with a stick, gathers its legs, and lowers it onto the fire. The spider makes a final hiss as its insides heat up and it shoots out a yard-long spurt of hot juice. After it is roasted for about seven minutes, its charred hairs are rubbed away and the legs pulled off. When we crack them open, there's white meat.(Man Eating Bugs page 175)
