  • Several tufa columns are turned golden by the rising sun at Mono Lake, California. Tufa forms only underwater. When calcium-rich springs flow up through the lake bottom, the calcium bonds to the carbonates in the lake water, forming calcium carbonate, a type of limestone. The solid material builds on itself, gradually forming a tufa tower. The tufa towers form only underwater; they were exposed when the lake was drained to provide drinking water for cities. After environmental groups took legal action, less water is being diverted for cities and the lake is slowly refilling.

  • The sunrise lights up Eagle Falls which flows high above Emerald Bay and Lake Tahoe on the border of California and Nevada. Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the United States and the sixteenth deepest in the world, with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet (501 meters). The lake was formed by a fracture in the Earth's crust that resulted in the Sierra Nevada mountains and Carson Range (visible in the background).

  • A power plant produces geothermal energy at Krafla, Iceland. The power plant turns heat from below the earth’s crust into 60 megawatts of electricity. The Krafla area is very volcanic. The Krafla volcano erupted nine times between 1975 and 1984 and very high temperatures are found 3 to 5 kilometers (2 to 3 miles) of the earth’s surface.

  • A Chincoteague pony (Equus caballus), also known as an Assateague horse, grazes in a marsh on Assateague Island in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. Chincoteague ponies are small — typically 12-13 hands (about 4 feet tall) — their growth stunted by the limited food and harsh environment of Assateague Island. About 300 wild — technically feral — ponies roam the island on the Atlantic coast. There is some dispute as to how the ponies ended up on the island. Some researchers believe the ponies are survivors of the wreck of a Spanish galleon, La Galga, which sank just off the coast in 1750; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes they are descendants of horses owned by early colonial settlers.

  • A burro (Equus asinus), also known as a donkey, stands among the Calico Hills in the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area in Nevada. Burros were introduced to the area in the 1800s by miners and ranchers who used them to haul heavy cargo. Some escaped or were freed, becoming wild (technically feral). The Red Rock Canyon area is part of the Mojave Desert and is a harsh environment, but the burros are able to survive by finding spring water and feeding on grasses.

  • An arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), displaying its white winter coat, looks out from behind a rock on the mossy hillside above Fossárvik in southeastern Iceland. The arctic fox is also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox, though it displays its pure white form only in the winter months. Arctic foxes, found throughout the Arctic tundra, are small with a body length of less than 3 feet (85 cm). To survive in such a harsh environment, they have very deep fur and a rounded body shape, which minimizes the portion of their body that is exposed to the elements.

  • Chincoteague ponies (Equus caballus), also known as Assateague horses, feed together on Assateague Island in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. Chincoteague ponies are small — typically 12-13 hands (about 4 feet tall) — their growth stunted by the limited food and harsh environment of Assateague Island. About 300 wild — technically feral — ponies roam the island on the Atlantic coast. There is some dispute as to how the ponies ended up on the island.

  • An arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) that has transitioned mostly to its white winter coat looks for food on the hillside above Fossárvik in southeastern Iceland. Arctic foxes, found throughout the Arctic tundra, are small with a body length of less than 3 feet (85 cm). To survive in such a harsh environment, they have very deep fur and a rounded body shape, which minimizes the portion of their body that is exposed to the elements.

  • A young arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) curls up to stay warm during a rainstorm near the summit of Thrihnukagigur, a volcano in southwestern Iceland. The arctic fox is also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox, though it displays its pure white form only in the winter months. Arctic foxes, found throughout the Arctic tundra, are small with a body length of less than 3 feet (85 cm).

  • The golden light of sunset highlights the harsh environment near the summit of the High Peaks in Pinnacles National Park, California, illustrated in part by a radically-curved tree. The High Peaks, some of which are nearly 2,500 feet (750 meters) tall, are partial remnants of the ancient Pinnacles volcano, shifted 190 miles north of its original location due to movement of the San Andreas Fault.

  • Lichen grows on an old-growth western red cedar tree in the Sol Duc area of Olympic National Park, Washington. Lichens, which are compound organisms consisting of a fungus and a photosynthetic patner, are found in some of the most extreme environments on Earth, as well as rain forests and temperate woodland.
