  • A piebald Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) stands in a field in Pierce County, Washington. Piebaldism is caused by a genetic mutation that affects less than 2 percent of deer. Piebaldism differs from albinism in that piebald animals have cells that can produce pigment, but those cells don't. Piebald deer have a relatively low survival rate because they also often suffer from other deformities, particularly leg and spine issues.

  • Steam rises from the water-filled Inferno Crater, located in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley near Rotorua, New Zealand. The terrace is part of a hydrothermal system in 1886 by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera. Waimangu means 'black water' in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand. The area was given that name because its largest geyser erupted water that was filled with mud and rocks.

  • The Painted Hills in John Day National Monument, Oregon are comprised of several layers of ash and pumice deposits from the Cascades and area volcanoes.

  • A composite of six images shows the progression of the annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 as viewed from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. The Moon's distance from Earth varies, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from Earth. The Moon appears smaller in the sky and therefore is not able to block the entire Sun. At the peak of this eclipse, the Moon blocked 95 percent of the Sun. This image sequence begins at the top left. The black marks on some of the Sun images are sunspots.

  • A variety of thermophiles, which are microorganisms that thrive in heat, are responsible for the colors in the Grand Prismatic Spring, located in the Midway Geyser Basin area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The yellow-green color comes from the thermophilic cyanobacteria Synechococcus, which is found in the hottest water of the spring (up to 161°F or 72°C). Phormidium, which is orange, is found in the spring's middle temperatures (113-140°F or 45-60°C). Calothrix, which is brown or black, is found in the coolest temperatures, although not lower than 86°F or 30°C. The terraces are the result of minerals that solidify in water that spills out of the spring.

  • A towering columnar basalt cliff is partially reflected in the waters of Breiðasund in the town of Stykkishólmur, Iceland.

  • The Painted Hills in John Day National Monument, Oregon are comprised of several layers of ash and pumice deposits from the Cascades and area volcanoes. The deposits were laid down approximately 33 million years ago. Eventually the layers were thrust upward and tilted by movement of the Earth's plates. The red comes from rusty iron minerals; golden layers are rich with oxidized magnesium and iron, metamorphic claystone; the black comes from manganese.

  • 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.
