Victoria Land, Antarctica

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.

"Shoeing up Mount Skylight, Adirondack resident and part-time guide Kevin Burns appreciates the power of place. 'I grew up in Albany, which now is busy as an ant farm,' he says, 'everybody racing for their piece of food.' But not here. 'When it snows,' he says, 'I smile.'"

"Over the past 125,000 years tectonic forces have lifted beaches here to form [Kaikoura] [P]eninsula's green hills. A legend of the Maori, New Zealand's indigenous people, says that an apprentice wanting to please the Creator put underwater mountains here, framing Kaikoura Canyon."
