  • The golden light of sunset colors the walls of Mont Saint-Michel, a former monastery on a tidal island in Normandy, France. Mont Saint-Michel was known as Mont-Tombe until the 8th century when St. Aubert built a church there after having a vision of the archangel St. Michael. It soon became a pilgrimage center and a Benedictine abbey was built there in 966. After it was partially burned in 1203 during a takeover attempt by King Philip II of France, a monastery, known as La Merveille (“The Wonder”), was built and later fortified. The Mont Saint-Michel monastery was dissolved during the French Revolution (1787–99) and became a prison under Napoleon’s reign before the site was restored as a historic monument in 1874. Mont Saint-Michel was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. Mont Saint-Michel lies at the mouth of the Couesnon River, which is visible at on the left side of the image. Mont Saint-Michel is cut off from the mainland by sea water during very high tides.

  • Thousands of icicles, including some that stretch from floor to ceiling, form in the Guler Ice Cave near Mount Adams, Washington. The cave is a partially collapsed lava tube formed during an eruption of Mount Adams during the past 20,000 years. One end of the cave is lower than the other and scientists think that traps cold air, which keeps the cave icy even during the summer. The Guler Ice Cave is located near the community of Trout Lake.

  • Brown pelicans dive off Natural Bridge near Santa Cruz, California at sunset. There used to be three arches, but the second one collapsed in the early 1980s. The first collapsed even earlier. Arches or bridges form when waves continually pound a weak spot in the rock, wearing a hole through it. Over time, continued erosion enlarges the hole so much that the overlying rock can no longer be supported and it collapses. A bridge is a span that connects to the mainland; an arch stands by itself.

  • The moon glows behind a coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera) as thousands of stars shine above Makena Beach on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Several major stars are visible in this image, including Pleiades, a tight cluster of blue stars that is visible just left of the largest palm tree on the right side of the image, and Aldebaran, a bright orange star near the top-center of the frame. Pleiades is also known as the Seven Sisters even though the cluster contains more than 1,000 stars; the nine brightest stars are named for the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology and their parents.

  • A red fox (Vulpes vulpes) sleeps near a rabbit den in a prairie in the San Juan Island National Historical Park, San Juan Island, Washington. Red foxes were introduced to the island on a number of occasions in the 1900s. All foxes on San Juan Island are red foxes, even if they appear black, silver, gray, tan or other colors.
