  • Fish swim through and around a colony of Fiordland Black Coral (Antipathella fiordensis) in Milford Sound on the South Island of New Zealand. Of the black corals, Fiordland Black Coral is unusual because it's found in the shallowest waters. Most black corals are deep sea species, but Fiordland Black Coral is found at depths of just 10 to 50 meters (32 to 164 feet). Black coral actually appears white when its alive, and unlike other corals does not need warm, shallow water. Milford Sound is host to 7 million coral colonies, which have been developing for 200 million years. The Fiordland Black Coral is visible without diving to visitors of the Marine Discovery Centre in Milford Sound, which extends 10 meters under water.

  • Black, feral goats (Capra hircus) climb a grassy cliff on the Big Island of Hawai`i. The goats, found near steep cliffs and lava fields, are descendants of Spanish goats were introduced to the Hawaiian Islands in the 1700s by explorer George Vancouver. They have put other animal populations, including the endangered palila bird, in jeopardy.

  • A black swan (Cygnus atratus) swims across New Zealand's Lake Mangamahoe with Taranaki (Mount Egmont) in the background. While black swans were brought from Australia to New Zealand in the 1860s, there's some debate as to whether the species should be considered introduced. Black swan populations grew rapidly, suggesting the many of the birds may have found their own way to the country. The black swan is New Zealand's largest wetland bird.

  • Fall colors line the bluff at Tomichi Point, high above the Gunnison River in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado. The gorge is the steepest in North America, dropping 2,772 feet (845 meters) at one point. It's called the Black Canyon because it's so steep in places that light doesn't reach the bottom.

  • Pegmatite, a light-colored granite, forms bright stripes on the otherwise dark walls of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado. These stripes were found on the Painted Wall, an especially dramatic part of the national park and the highest cliff in all of Colorado. Pegmatite is the result of especially water-rich magma, which is the last to cool and harden. Because it remains fluid longer, it is able to squeeze into cracks in rocks, resulting in the light-colored lines here.

  • The fast-moving Gunnison River carves a deep gorge in the rock at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado. Near this point, the Gunnison River drops 240 feet per mile (45 m/km), causing it to gain speed and strength to erode tougher rock. The Gunnison River drops more within the national park than the Mississippi River does between Minnesota and the Gulf of Mexico.
