The launch of Surfer Magazine today inspired us to curate sections that, in one way or another, honor this blue marble we’re spinning on. These feeds explore the depths of the ocean, the life teeming above, and even the reaches of space, where the Space Shuttle Atlantis will soon embark upon its final mission.
