Neversink Pit, Alabama, 1998

Photograph by George Steinmetz

"The limestone walls of Neversink, a 162-foot-deep open-air pit, provide habitat for a rare fern. 'The frontiers,' wrote Henry David Thoreau, 'are not east or west, north or south, but wherever a man fronts a fact.'"

—From "Making Sense of the Millennium," January 1998, National Geographic magazine
