  • A family of mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) climbs the steep rugged wall known as Goat Lick in Glacier National Park, Montana. The mountain goats travel for miles to lick the mineral-laden cliffs during the spring and early summer. The cliffs are full of calcium, potassium and magnesium and smaller amounts of sodium and phosphorous. Scientists believe the goats may lick the cliffs to replace minerals they lose from their bones over the long winter. The minerals may also serve as a digestive aid. It's also possible the goats have simply developed a taste for salt.

  • Smooth patches of a granite face, known as glacial polish, shine in the late afternoon sun near Olmsted Point in Yosemite National Park, California. Rocks and other materials get trapped on the bottom of glaciers. As glaciers move down the face of a rock, these materials become part of a very abrasive surface. Combined with the force from the glacier's tremendous weight, they are able to scour away sections of the rock face they travel over, leaving behind a smooth, shiny, polished finish.

  • The deep blue color of Crater Lake is visible in this early spring aerial view over Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, located in the caldera of what was once Oregon's Mount Mazama, is the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest in the world.

Crater Lake has a maximum depth of 1,946 feet (593 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone that rises about 755 feet (230 meters) above the lake, is visible at the bottom-center of the lake in this image.
