The Dead Do Tell Tales at Vesuvius

For nearly 2,000 years they lay mute, hidden in a tomb of hardened ash. Today their bones speak volumes to scientists piecing together their lives and fiery deaths. Rick Gore and O. Louis Mazzatenta report on the latest excavations at Herculaneum and Pompeii.

A Prayer for Pozzuoli

Pozzuoli, a thriving port when Vesuvius erupted, now waits in terror as its own huge volcano stirs uneasily to life. Rick Gore and O. Louis Mazzatenta find the land rising as magma surges beneath it.

Krill: Untapped Bounty?

These tiny crustaceans are whale food today, but they offer man a vast store of protein that just might and might not be worth the trouble of harvesting. Biologist William M. Hamner and photographer Flip Nicklin ex-amine a "superb" Antarctic species.

The Olympic Peninsula

Giant trees, glaciered peaks, and wild shores dominate Washington State's "green thumb." Bill Richards and Sam Abell give us a vivid look at the land and its people.

Indians Cursed by Gold

For villagers of the Amazon Basin, a gold rush on their land means new wealth-along with pollution, invading miners, and many of the headaches of civilization, as Vanessa Lea and Miguel Rio Branco discover.
