Slash pine trees are specially adapted to survive fires, however, which destroy invasive species.

  • A giant stack of lenticular clouds forms near the summit of Mount Rainier in Washington state in the golden light of sunset.

Mount Rainier is the tallest mountain in Washington state and the highest volcano in the Cascade Range.

  • 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.

  • The white sand dunes of White Sand Dunes National Monument, New Mexico, appear blue and purple after sunset, reflecting the twilight sky. The white sand dunes are comprised of gypsum crystals, which is rarely found as sand because it is water-soluble. But the Tularosa Basin is surrounded by mountains and there is no direct outlet to the sea for any rain that falls there. Any water eventually drains through the ground leaving the gypsum behind in a crystalline form called selenite. White Sands National Monument is the largest gypsum dune field in the world.

  • A pseudocrater is rendered in silhouette against a volanic cone at sunset in Mývatn in northern Iceland. Mývatn is a lake that was formed approximately 2,300 years ago during a volanic period.

As basaltic lava flowed over soggy lake sediments, it flash heated the moisture into vapor, causing it to blast through the lava. Mývatn means lake with midge flies; the lake is infested with them during the summer months.
