  • Landscape Arch, the largest natural arch in the world, is located in Arches National Park, Utah. The arch spans 290 feet, according to the Natural Arch and Bridge Society. Landscape Arch, seen here dusted by snow, was formed by repeated freezing and thawing.

  • A pair of trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator) take flight against a backdrop of trees, some of which are still showing autumn color, in the Skagit Valley of Washington state. Most of the swans breed in the northern reaches of Canada and Alaska, and a large population winters in northern Washington state. Trumpeter Swans average more than 5 feet (152 cm) in length and can weigh up to 30 pounds (13 kg), making them the longest and heaviest living bird native to North America.

  • A Hawaiian stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni) preens itself in the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge near Kehei, Maui, Hawaii. The Hawaiian stilt, or ae'o in Hawaiian, is an endangered subspecies of the black-necked stilt and has the longest legs in proportion to its body of any bird in the world. Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge is a coastal salt marsh. During the rainy winter season, the pond swells to more than 400 acres. It shrinks to about half that size in the dry summer, leaving a slaty residue behind as it dries out.

  • An arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea) rests on an iceberg floating in Jökulsárlón, the glacier lagoon in Iceland. Arctic Terns have the longest migration of any animal, flying an average of 44,300 miles (70,900 kilometers) each year. They summer in each hemisphere, breeding in the northern polar region during its summer and then flies to the edge of the Antarctic ice for the southern hemisphere summer.

  • Viewed from near the summit of the High Peaks of Pinnacles National Park, California, a California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) soars in search of food. California condors are New World vultures that went extinct in the wild in 1987. They have gradually been reintroduced to California's coastal mountains and parts of Utah, Arizona and Baja California. However, they remain one of the rarest birds. California condors have a wingspan of up to 9.8 feet (3 meters), the longest of any North American bird.

  • A flock of Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea) flies over a small lake on Grímsey Island, Iceland. Grímsey, located on the Arctic Circle, is the northernmost point in Iceland. Arctic Terns have the longest migration of any animal, flying an average of 44,300 miles (70,900 kilometers) each year. They summer in each hemisphere, breeding in the northern polar region during its summer and then fly to the edge of the Antarctic ice for the southern hemisphere summer.

  • The Ape Cave makes a sharp bend in the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument in Washington state. The Ape Cave is 13,042 feet long (3,975 meters), making it the third-longest lava tube in North America. It formed during an eruption of Mount St. Helens approximately 2,000 years ago. An 8-mile-long (13-kilometer-long) lava flow poured down the southern flank of the volcano. Lava cools from the outside-in, so the flow became like a straw, allowing lava to continue to flow through a hardened crust.

  • Two hardened tubes are visible in the Ape Cave, a lava tube located near Mount St. Helens in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington state. The ape cave formed about 2,000 years ago during the only known period when fluid basaltic lava erupted from the volcano. The outside edges of the lava flow cooled first, providing a crust that allowed fluid lava to continue flowing inside. This period of activity may have lasted a year during which the lava level rose and fell, leading to the unique shapes inside the cave. The Ape Cave lava tube is 13,042 feet (3976 meters) long, ranking as the third-longest in North America. The cave is named for a local hiking club, the St. Helens Apes.
