Hōlei is the name for a small plant in the milkweed family.

  • The northern lights, or aurora borealis, shine over and are reflect in Lake Mývatn  in northern Iceland. The lake, formed during a lava eruption 2,300 years ago, contains numerous lava pillars and rootless vents, called pseudocraters. Mývatn is Icelandic for "midge lake," and denotes the tremendous number of midge flies found in the area. The aurora borealis, frequently visible during the winter months in Iceland, is caused by charged particles from the sun crashing into the Earth's atmosphere.

  • Pacific Ocean waves crash up against the one remaining arch in Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz, California. There used to be three arches. Arches form when waves continually pound a weak spot in the rock, wearing a hole through it. Over time, continued erosion enlarges the hole so much that the overlying rock can no longer be supported and the arch collapses.
