  • Dense tropical vegetation frames this view of Rainbow Falls, an 80-foot waterfall near Hilo, Hawaii. Legends say that the cave beneath the waterfall was the home of Hina, mother of the demigod Maui.

  • Several brown boobies (Sula leucogaster) fly by crashing Pacific Ocean waves near Sayulita, Mexico. Brown boobies are common in tropical and subtropical waters and have a wingspan of 57 inches (145 cm).

  • Lush vegetation frames this view of Three Bears Falls, also known as Upper Waikani Falls, in Maui, Hawai`i. The triple waterfall, which drops 70 feet (21 meters) is found in Wailua Stream along the Hana Highway.

  • A large kiawe (Prosopis pallida) tree frames of the southwestern coast of the Hawaiian island of Maui near the town of Makena. The first kiawe tree was introduced to Hawaii in 1828 and is now one of the most common trees in the dry lowlands of the Hawaiian islands. The prominent hill visible just to the right of the center of this image if Pu`u Ola`i, a 320-foot (98-meter) cinder cone formed when molten lava erupted from a volcanic vent and fell back to earth forming a nearly perfect cone. Pu`u Ola`i is also known as Earthquake Hill, Red Hill, and Round Mountain.

  • Millions of microscopic organisms called dinoflagellates briefly emit a blue light when they are disturbed in the calm waters of Mosquito Bay on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. Mosquito Bay — also known as Puerto Mosquito, Caño Hondo and Bahía Bioluminiscente — is the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world with 2.4 million dinoflagellates per gallon of water at the time of this image. The dinoflagellates in Mosquito Bay are Pyrodinium bahamense and are a type of plankton, a subgroup of algae, that are found in Atlantic seawater warmer than 68 °F (20 °C). Mosquito Bay has a number of features that allow these dinoflagellates to exist in record concentrations. First, the bay has a very narrow opening to the Caribbean Sea, so when they are washed into the bay, they tend to get stuck. Mosquito Bay is also lined with mangrove trees, which provide abundant food for the dinoflagellates as they decompose.

  • A common myna (Acridotheres tristis) rests on the frond of a coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) tree on the island of Maui, Hawai`i. The common myna, sometimes referred to as the Indian Myna or spelled mynah, is native to Asia, but is rapidly spreading its territory. Its native range spans southern Asia from Iran to Singapore, but the bird has since been introduced in many other parts of the world, including Australia, Hawaii, Canada, and islands in the Indian Ocean. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) declared the myna one of the world's most invasive species.

  • A pair of captive sandbar sharks (Carcharhinus plumbeus) swim in the Point Defiance Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington. Sandbar sharks are typically found in shallow waters, less than 200 feet deep, in the tropical and subtropical Pacific and Atlantic oceans, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean Sea.

  • A Florida tree snail (Liguus fasciatus) climbs a tree along the Gumbo Limbo Trail in the Everglades National Park, Florida. The trail winds through a tropical hardwood hammock, a dense forest that forms only in areas that are protected from fires and floods. This area is only three feet higher than the neighboring wetlands. There are 52 different color forms of the Florida tree snail found in south Florida.

  • A natural nighttime pillar of light known as the Zodiacal Light shines above and is reflected in Crater Lake, Oregon. The Zodiacal Light results from the sun shining on dust particles left behind by comets. The dust particles - the largest of which are believed to be just 0.3 mm and miles from its nearest neighboring particle - orbit the sun in a range from Mars to beyond Jupiter. Visible year-round in the tropics, the Zodiacal Light is best viewed immediately around the spring and fall solstice farther from the equator. The planet Venus, the brightest object in the sky, is visible near the peak of the Zodiacal Light and is also reflected in Crater Lake. The Milky Way, visible on the right, intersects with the Zodiacal Light at the top-center of the image. Crater Lake, which is actually a caldera, formed when Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing its summit to collapse. Subsequent eruptions sealed the caldera, trapping rain water and snowmelt, forming the lake, which has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (594 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder code, is visible in the foreground.
