  • A long exposure captures plumes rising from eruptions of both Old Faithful (right) and Grand Geyser (left) at dawn in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Yellowstone is home to the world's largest concentration of active geysers, with more than 400 geysers in its Upper Geyser Basin alone.

  • A long exposure captures the motion of the spray erupting from the Old Faithful at dawn in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. When Old Faithful erupts, it can launch as much as 8,400 gallons (32,000 liters) of boiling water as high as 185 feet (56 meters), although the average eruption height is 145 feet (44 meters). The time between eruptions is growing longer on average, possibly because earthquakes have affected underground water levels. The current interval is either 65 or 91 minutes depending on attributes of the prior eruption.

  • 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 peaks, only the South Sister is likely to become active again. The last eruption was 50 B.C.
