The
NOAA Photo Library owes its existence to generous individuals
who are willing to share their remarkable images and observations
with America and the rest of the world. These individuals range from
those who have worked their whole professional life for NOAA in far-flung
corners of our Nation and the World to private citizens who are willing
to share their observations of the atmosphere, oceans, and coastline.
They
have taken their pictures on all seven continents from ships, boats,
aircraft, and submersibles; they have taken their pictures while hiking,
diving, or conducting their work at sea, on the land, or in the air;
they have taken their pictures from beaches, marshes, rocky shorelines,
mountaintops, cities, plains, islands, glaciers, frozen seas, and
sometimes even their own backyards; and in many instances they have
taken these photographs at considerable risk to life and limb. This
remarkable collection would not be here but for these public-spirited
individuals. It is time now to meet the men and women who have made
