  • Steam fog rises from the Sammamish River as two bufflehead (Bucephala albeola) ducks swim across it on a cold winter morning in Marymoor Park, Redmond, Washington. Steam fog, also known as sea smoke and frost smoke, is created when very cold air drifts across relatively warm water.

  • Steam fog, also known as sea smoke, rises from the Sammamish River near Woodinville, Washington, on a cold morning. Steam fog occurs when cold air — it was 22 degrees Fahrenheit at the time this image was captured — passes over warmer water. Moisture rises from the relatively warm river and turns to vapor inches above the surface when it hits the freezing-cold air.

  • 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).

  • Steam fog rises off one of the Reflection Lakes in Mount Rainier National Park as the still waters reflect a dramatic late summer sunrise. Steam fog, also known as evaporation fog, occurs when the air above is colder than the water in a lake or other body of water. Moist air rises from the water and is rapidly cooled to its saturation point, producing fog..

  • Steam rises from a volcanic cone at Landmannalaugar, located in the highlands of Iceland. Landmannalaugar, part of the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, sits at the edge of the Laugahraun lava field, which was formed in an eruption around the year 1477.

  • The sunrise colors the sky above the Kilauea Caldera and Mauna Loa in this view from Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. Mauna Loa, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, is also the largest, standing about 56,000 feet from its summit to its base on the ocean floor. (It stands 13,680 above sea level.) Mauna Loa means "long mountain." The steaming cliffs are visible at the caldera rim. Rain falls into cracks and is then turned into steam by the hot rocks below the surface.

  • Steam fog seems to erupt from a small pool on an island within Sparks Lake in the Deschutes National Forest near Bend, Oregon. The island is covered with yellow spear-leaf arnica (Arnica longifolia) flowers in mid-summer. Broken Top Mountain rises in the back left of the image. Broken Top, which stands 9,177 feet (2,797 meters) tall, is a stratovolcano that last erupted about 100,000 years ago and has since been eroded by glaciers.

  • Steam rises from Inferno Crater, located in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley on the North Island of New Zealand. The hot spring and other geothermal features resulted from the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera on June 10, 1886. The area was named for the Waimangu geyser, which was active from 1901 to 1904.

  • 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.

  • Steam rising from the geothermal features in the Norris Geyser Basin turns to ice as it touches trees on a frigid day in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Temperatures on this day approached 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius).

  • Steam from vents, or fumaroles, in the Norris Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, rises at sunrise, partially framing the Gallatin Mountains. In the foreground at left is Ledge Geyser, which once was the second largest geyser in the area, capable of shooting water 125 feet (38 meters) into the air. It has been largely inactive since 1995.

  • Mount Rainier, the tallest volcano in Washington state, towers over the steaming Reflection Lake in Mount Rainier National Park.

  • Hot Stream flows past the steaming hillside of the Cathedral Rocks in the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley near Rotorua, New Zealand. Waimangu is a hydrothermal system created by the 1886 volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera. Waimangu means 'black water' in Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand, a name given to the area because water in its largest geyser often contains mud and rocks.

  • Colorful algal and bacterial mats grow along a steaming creek that runs through the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley on the North Island of New Zealand. The valley's geothermal features resulted from the volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera on June 10, 1886. The area was named for the Waimangu geyser, which was active from 1901 to 1904.

  • A bright lava flow illuminates full-size trees as it flows past them at night at Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. The hot lava flows from the Pu'u O'o vent, which has erupted continuously since 1983.

  • Lassen Peak, a 10,462 foot (3,189 meter) volcano in northern California, is reflected in the calm waters of Summit Lake at sunrise. Lassen Peak is the southernmost volcano in the Cascade Range and last erupted from 1914-1917.

  • 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.

  • A row of trees at the edge of Iron Spring Creek are encased in ice in the Black Sand Basin of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The Black Sand Basin is home to a number of geothermal features. During the winter, steam can rise from them and freeze to nearby trees.

  • Old Faithful, the most famous geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, erupts, sending a cloud of steam into the air that somewhat mimics the clouds in the sky. The geyser's eruptions are not as predictable as the name Old Faithful might suggest. Eruptions can occur as little as 45 minutes apart or with a gap as long as 125 minutes. The geyser's height also varies; at times the column of water can reach 184 feet (56 meters) high.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Steam rises from Blue Star Spring, a hot spring of near-boiling water in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Blue Star Spring rarely erupts, but has occasionally had 1- to 2-foot-tall eruptions, most notably in 1925, 1926, 1997 and 2002.
