  • A crack runs through rhyolite lava in the Inyo National Forest near Mammoth Mountain, California. The crack is part of a feature known as the Mammoth Earthquake Fault, but it's technically an earthquake fissure, resulting from an earthquake that occurred before 1850.

  • Steam rises from Angel Terrace, which is lightly dusted in autumn snow, at sunset in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Angel Terrace is part of the Mammoth Upper Terraces, located at the north end of Yellowstone.

  • Steam rises from the colorful terraces of Palette Spring in the Mammoth area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The rich color of the spring comes from microbial mats and the overall appearance varies throughout the year because of weather. In this early autumn image, Oscillatoria microbes are producing a rich orange; those microbes are most active when the temperature is less than 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celcius).

  • Several large cracks, some caused by rocks tumbling from the steep, rocky walls that surround the lake, are visible in the ice on Lake Crowley, located near Mammoth Lakes in Mono County, California.

  • An adult bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is hidden while on its nest in Heritage Park, Kirkland, Washington. Bald eagles have the largest nests of any North American bird. One bald eagle nest in Florida was 9.5 feet (2.9 meters) wide, 20 feet (6.1 meters) deep, and weighed nearly 3 tons.

  • El Capitan, a prominent granite monolith in Yosemite National Park, California, is turned golden by the rising sun. 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.

  • A large adult American Bison (Bison bison) stands in an open prairie near Buffalo Gap in Badlands National Park, South Dakota. Bison are the largest terrestrial land mammals in North America. While commonly called buffalo, true buffalo are found only in Africa and Asia.

  • El Capitan, a prominent granite monolith in Yosemite National Park, California, extends about 3,000 feet (900 meters) from the Yosemite Valley floor. The summit of El Capitan is at an elevation of 7,573 feet (2,308 meters).

  • A pond forms in one of the explosion pits that is part of the Inyo Craters near Mammoth Lakes, California. The pits are part of an especially active volcanic area that stretches from Mono Lake to Mammoth Mountain. The activity that produced the Inyo Craters dates from 500 to 5,000 years ago, with some of the pits being 200 feet (60 meters) deep.

  • Steam rises from Orange Spring Mount, a hot spring in the Mammoth area of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Orange Spring Mound is a large cone-type hot spring, composed of hot-spring deposits. It has a fissure ridge that extends from one side to the other, serving as a dam behind which travertine deposits accumulate.

  • Palouse Falls plunges 180 feet (55 meters) into a giant natural amphitheater surrounded by towering columnar basalt walls near Washtucna, Washington. Palouse Falls was formed at the end of the last ice age when a mammoth ice dam in Montana regularly collapsed, releasing a torrent of water that carved this winding gorge.

  • A mammoth lenticular cloud nearly dwarfs Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain in Washington and the highest volcano in the Cascade Range. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. The moist air condenses and becomes a visible cloud as it rises. While lenticular clouds can hover directly over mountain peaks, they can form some distance away from the summit when the winds are strong.

  • A mammoth column known as the Veiled Statue stretches from the floor to the ceiling of the King's Palace, a section of Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. Columns, a type of speleothem, are formed when groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate solution seeps into the cave. Then that solution is exposed to the air in the cave, carbon dioxide gas is released and calcite is deposited.

  • A coyote (Canis latrans) walks out onto the frozen Crowley Lake near Mammoth Lakes, California.
