Grand Geyser in Yellowstone National Park is the tallest predictable geyser eruption in the world, spectacular if you are lucky enough to witness it. The vast Yellowstone Caldera provides the geothermal wonders to be seen throughout the park.

Even though the California condor has the largest wingspan of any bird in North America, it looks #small against the backdrop of the Grand Canyon. Image captured in March 2008.

During a total solar eclipse, the sky turns dark, stars shine, temperatures drop, and night sounds begin. But looking at the sun and moon (with protective glasses) reveals an amazing celestial event.

Virgin Falls, near Sparta, Tennessee, is unique. The waterfall is "formed by an underground stream that emerges from a cave, then drops over a 110-foot high cliff before disappearing into another cave at the bottom".
