  • A snowy owl (Nyctea scandiaca) stretches while resting in an old stump at Damon Point in Ocean Shores, Washington. Snowy owls, which spend the summer in the northern circumpolar region north of 60 degrees latitude, have a typical winter range that includes Alaska, Canada and northern Eurasia. Every several years, for reasons still unexplained, the snowy owls migrate much farther south in an event known as an irruption. During one irruption, a snowy owl was found as far south as the Caribbean. During the 2011-2012 irruption, Ocean Shores on the Washington coast was the winter home for an especially large number of snowy owls. Snowy owls tend to prefer coastal and plains areas, which most resemble the open tundra that serves as their typical home.

  • 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.

  • A circumzenithal arc appears to stretch across the tops of trees on Cougar Mountain near Bellevue, Washington. Circumzenithal arcs appear as upside-down rainbows and are the brightest and most colorful of all the solar halos. They appear when the sun is relatively low on the horizon, less than 32 degrees above the horizon and ideally 20°, and cirrus clouds are overhead. Circumzenithal arcs are especially bright and vibrant because the ice crystals in the cirrus clouds are perfectly aligned, passing through almost parallel bands of light.

  • A rainbow stretches across the sky above the Vermilion Cliffs near Page, Arizona. The Vermilion Cliffs, which rise as much as 3,000 feet (914 meters), are the second step in the five-step Grand Staircase of the Colorado Plateau, which stretches from northern Arizona to southern Utah.  The cliffs are made up of sedimentary rocks, primarily sandstone, siltstone, limestone, and shale, that have eroded over millions of years. The Vermilion Cliffs were designated as the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in 2000.
