  • The setting sun seems to be balanced on one of the Sea Lion Rocks, a series of sea stacks off the northern Oregon coast. The rocks were formed by ancient lava flows, which have since been eroded by constant pounding from Pacific Ocean waves. These sea stacks are located near Ecola State Park, north of Cannon Beach, Oregon.

  • The Three Sisters, a cluster of three volcanic peaks in central Oregon, are bathed in alpenglow as the full moon sets into the Belt of Venus just before sunrise in this aerial view. The three peaks are the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest peaks in Oregon. Of the three, the South Sister, visible on the left, is the tallest with an elevation of 10,385 feet (3,157 meters) and is also known as Charity. The Middle Sister, also known as Hope, is the shortest with an elevation of 10,047 feet (3,062 meters). The North Sister, also known as Faith, is slightly taller at 10,085 feet (3,074 meters). The Three Sisters are unusual in that the volcanic peaks are in a dense cluster; volcanoes in the Cascade Range are typically spaced out with 40 to 60 miles (60 to 100 kilometers) of distance between them. Of the three peaks, only the South Sister is likely to become active again. The last eruption was 50 B.C. The Three Sisters are part of the Three Sisters Wilderness, Oregon's second-largest wilderness area.

  • The deep blue color of Crater Lake is visible in this early spring aerial view over Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, located in the caldera of what was once Oregon's Mount Mazama, is the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest in the world. Its deep blue color results from the clarity of the water. The water is so clear that sunlight travels deep into the lake, losing all but the blue wavelengths in the process. Crater Lake has a maximum depth of 1,946 feet (593 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone that rises about 755 feet (230 meters) above the lake, is visible at the bottom-center of the lake in this image.

  • A hint of golden sunrise color shines through the dark storm clouds hovering over Wizard Island and Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, the deepest fresh water lake in North America, is located in a caldera at the top of what was once Mount Mazama. A massive eruption around 5,700 B.C. caused the mountain to collapse. While the Wizard Island cone is long dormant, there is some hydrothermal activity at the bottom of Crater Lake, suggesting the mountain is still active.

  • The solar corona shines bright over the pinnacle of a butte in the Mormon Basin of Malheur County, Oregon, during the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. The corona is an extremely hot plasma aura — as much as 450 times the temperature of the sun's surface — that extends millions of miles out from the solar disk that we typically see. The sun's surface is far brighter than the corona, usually outshining it. During a total solar eclipse when the moon blocks the view of the main body of the sun, the corona becomes visible.

  • A killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) sits on her nest on the rocks in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. Killdeer, like other plovers, nest on the ground, such as this nest, built on a gravel bar along Mud Lake. When threatened, the killdeer tries to distract predators away from the nest, often by pretending it has a broken wing.

  • Strong Pacific Ocean waves pound the rock that is home to Tillamook Rock Lighthouse near Cannon Beach, Oregon. Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, also known as Tillamook Rock Light, operated from 1881 to 1957.
