Witness the quiet calm of a forest clearing, but understand what had to happen to put you there. Watch the tumult of crashing waves with a curiosity for the lives under the surface of that sea. Fly through broad skies and feel the air on your skin. Ultimately, stand beside Adams for a moment and "listen to what this place tells you."

At the same time, these data collections contain sensitive information that must only be used in ways that respect the values, interests, and rights of individuals and their communities.
