  • Melt water from the Snæfellsjökull glacier in Iceland creates small rivers down the mountain. Snæfellsjökull is a 1,446-meter (4,744-foot) stratovolcano located on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in western Iceland. The volcano last erupted in approximately 200 AD.

  • A window melts through a huge iceberg in Jökulsárlón, a glacial lagoon located in southern Iceland. Some of the ice in the lagoon is 1,500 years old. Over time, air has been pressed out of the ice, resulting in the blue color. Without air to reflect it, blue light is able to penetrate deep into the ice.

  • LaSalle Canyon Falls, viewed from behind, begins to thaw in late winter in Starved Rock State Park near LaSalle, Illinois. The 20-foot (6-meter) waterfall can completely freeze in winter. As it thaws, the ice thins and can become almost translucent, forming dramatic green and blue colors as the ice of varying thickness refracts sunlight to different degrees. Here, part of the icefall has melted as is once again flowing as a waterfall.

  • Water drips and ice falls from the cave behind LaSalle Canyon Falls as it begins to thaw in late winter in Starved Rock State Park near LaSalle, Illinois. The 20-foot (6-meter) waterfall can completely freeze in winter. Here, part of the icefall has melted as is once again flowing as a waterfall.

  • The Tahquamenon River flows around ice in the river upstream from Upper Tahquamenon Falls in Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Michigan. The Tahquamenon River's brown color comes from tannic acid generated by organic material from cedar, hemlock and spruce trees along its banks. The golden light of sunrise reflecting on the river intensifies that color in this image.

  • Horsetail Fall, an ephemeral waterfall that plunges from the top of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, California, is reddened by the setting sun. The waterfall, which flows only for a few weeks each year in late winter and early spring, drops a total of 2,130 feet (650 meters). Horsetail Fall is best known for its dramatic "fire fall" effect, which if the weather and water supply conditions are just right, occurs each year in late February when the setting sun directly lights up the waterfall.

  • Numerous icebergs float in Jökulsárlón, the Glacier Lagoon, in southeastern Iceland. Big chunks of ice break off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and float in the lagoon until they melt or are carried by changing tides out to the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Trees, turned golden by the late afternoon sun, reflect on bubbles and grooves in a layer of ice melting on a Snohomish County, Washington, pond.

  • A boiling mudpot erupts at Sulphur Works in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. Water from melting snow seeps into the ground above this mudpot, soaks through the soil and works down through cracks and fissures in the rock. Eventually, it touches hot rock and gasses in what used to be the main vent of Brokeoff Volcano, becomes superheated and returns to the surface as hot water or steam.

  • An iceberg carries a rock though Jökulsárlón, Iceland's glacial lagoon. Glaciers have been known to carry rocks great distances. Rocks fall onto glaciers, which move slowly down mountains. When the glacier melts so much that it can no longer support the rock, the rock is dropped and it becomes known as a glacial erratic. The term referrs to rocks that are different in size, shape or composition from other rocks around them.

  • El Capitan, a prominent granite monolith in Yosemite National Park, California, reflects in the Merced River at sunrise. The summit of El Capitan is at an elevation of 7,573 feet (2,308 meters); it extends about 3,000 feet from the Yosemite Valley floor. The change of seasons from winter to spring is visible in the melting snow on the river banks.

  • A long exposure shows the action of a boiling mudpot at Sulphur Works in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. Water from melting snow seeps into the ground above this mudpot, soaks through the soil and works down through cracks and fissures in the rock. Eventually, it touches hot rock and gasses in what used to be the main vent of Brokeoff Volcano, becomes superheated and returns to the surface as hot water or steam.

  • The sunset colors the clouds above Bláfjall, a 1222 meter (4009 foot) table volcano in northern Iceland. Bláfjall formed as a result of an eruption under a thick sheet of ice during the last ice age. Lava forced and melted its way up through the ice and formed a strong shield of lava on the mountain's summit. That strong layer resists erosion, giving the mountain its rectangular shape.
