  • A pseudocrater is rendered in silhouette against a volanic cone at sunset in Mývatn in northern Iceland. Mývatn is a lake that was formed approximately 2,300 years ago during a volanic period. The shorter hill is a pseudocrater, also known as a rootless vent. While it resembles a volcanic cinder cone, it formed through a different process. As basaltic lava flowed over soggy lake sediments, it flash heated the moisture into vapor, causing it to blast through the lava. Mývatn means lake with midge flies; the lake is infested with them during the summer months.

  • Several slash pine trees (Pinus elliotti) are rendered in silhouette as the sun sets behind the Pinelands of the Florida Everglades. Pine trees cannot survive if submerged for extended periods, and therefore grow only at the highest elevations in the Everglades – which are only a few feet higher than the lowest points. Slash pine trees are specially adapted to survive fires, however, which destroy invasive species.

  • Large limestone formations, known as tufa, rise from Mono Lake in eastern California. The tufa result from calcium-rich springs that flow up from the bottom of the lake. The calcium bonds to carbonates in the water, forming calcium carbonate, a type of limestone. The calcium carbonate builds on itself, gradually forming towering columns. Those columns grow only when under water; they stop growing when the lake level drops and they are exposed.
