  • The sunrise colors the sky above the Kilauea Caldera and Mauna Loa in this view from Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. Mauna Loa, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, is also the largest, standing about 56,000 feet from its summit to its base on the ocean floor. (It stands 13,680 above sea level.) Mauna Loa means "long mountain." The steaming cliffs are visible at the caldera rim. Rain falls into cracks and is then turned into steam by the hot rocks below the surface.

  • Thousands of red-footed boobies (Sula sula rubripes) roost on the cliffs of the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge in Kauai, Hawaii. The refuge is popular with many different types of marine birds, though the red-footed boobies are one of the few that use it year-round. They nest in trees and shrubs and incubate their eggs with their large webbed feet.
