  • This panorama shows the colorful layers that give the Painted Hills in the John Day National Monument in Oregon their name. The layers represent different ash and pumice deposits from the Cascades and area volcanoes. The deposits were laid down approximately 33 million years ago. The red comes from rusty iron minerals; golden layers are rich with oxidized magnesium and iron, metamorphic claystone; the black comes from manganese.

  • A fiery winter sunrise colors the sky surrounding Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain in Washington state. At right, Mount Rainier, with a summit elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), casts its own shadow on the sky, a phenomenon that occurs when the sky is covered by mid-altitude clouds around the time of the winter solstice. At left, smaller peaks do the same, resulting in bands of light known as crepuscular rays.

  • The last light of day illuminates Snæfellsjökull, a 1,446 meter (4,744 foot) stratovolcano located in western Iceland. The volcano, which is active, last erupted approximately 1,800 years ago, creating lava fields at its base. The mountain is technically named Snæfell; Snæfellsjökull is the name of the glacier at its peak. It is commonly called Snæfellsjökull, however, to avoid confusing it with several other mountains with the same name. Snæfellsjökull means "snow glacier mountain," and it was featured in the 1864 novel "A Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne.
