"Sunlit smoke whispers the firefighter's secret: Life can be beautiful even when the world burns down around you. As fire crackles through a forest's understory, clearing brush and preparing the ground for new life, it's hard for even a sworn adversary not to respect its role in the ecosystem. 'Fires are natural,' one smokejumper says, 'but it's our job to fight them.'"

Photographer: Chris Johns

"[Lewis and Clark expedition member Sacagawea] must have heard the waves before she saw them, finally glimpsing Oregon's shore ... in January 1806. In the space of a year Sacagawea had given birth, found her kin, and walked halfway across a continent. Her fate is a mystery, yet her legend lives on as pathfinder, feminist icon, and Indian heroine."

—From "Searching for Sacagawea," February 2003, National Geographic magazine
