"A rare clearing in a sea of forest, the mile-long [1.6-kilometer-long] Langoué Bai was carved out by elephants digging in the mud. Mike Fay calls it the most important discovery of his 2,000-mile [3,218.7-kilometer] Megatransect across central Africa."

"'I like being a Viking,' says Jorn Olesen of Arhus, Denmark. His arm is tattooed with the dragon slayer Sigurd; Thor's hammer hangs on his chest. He belongs to a Viking fighting club that puts on a show every year near town. They fight like heroes—in small bands. 'Vikings didn't have manners in war,' says Olesen. 'They screamed, didn't stay in a straight line, and carried big axes.'"

When: 1990

"A basilica and the beliefs it represents find their focus in the papal altar, far beneath Michelangelo's dome and the bronze canopy of Bernini's baldachino. With chalice raised, Pope John Paul II celebrates Mass for the ordination of Bishops."
—From the 1991 National Geographic Book Inside the Vatican
