National Geographic Pacific gallery
What's nice about the city I live in (Austin, Texas) is that its spirit/heart/lifeblood is a natural springs at the very center of town. Called Barton Springs, its waters are aquifer-fed, a cool 68 degrees year-round, and inhabited by a unique species of salamander. But the Springs -- and its salamanders -- suffer deeply from human impact I thought of this when I browsed National Geographic's website today. The site features a photo gallery of a coral reef in a remote Pacfic atoll called Kingman Reef. In true National Geographic style, the photos capture something so pristine that they appear nearly cartoonish.
Look out for slick sharks and a transparent shrimp the size of a rice grain when you cruise through.
