  3. On the right is English climber George Mallory in 1922, two years before he disappeared on the northeast ridge of Everest. Mallory is known to have liked hiking naked. Notice that the climber on the left, although not as naked as Mallory, is not wearing pants.

    Since the 1700s, crossing the equator on a ship has merited an initiation ceremony for sailors who have not "crossed the line" before. Here, aboard the submarine USS Narwhal in 1940, a pollywog is required to crawl through a gauntlet of shellbacks while being sprayed by a firehose. (In the U.S., sailors who have previously crossed the line are shellbacks; first-timers are pollywogs.)
