  • A male northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) rests in the twilight surf on the beach at the Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery near San Simeon, California. Elephant seals typically spend 9 months at sea, coming to shore only to give birth and mate. Male elephant seals, known as bulls, are exceptionally large, weighing up to 5,500 pounds (2,500 kilograms). The Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery is part of the Piedras Blancas State Marine Reserve and Marine Conservation Area, managed by California.

  • Half Dome, turned red by the twilight glow, towers over the Merced River in Yosemite National Park, California. Half Dome, 8836 feet (2693 meters) tall, is a granite dome that seems to be missing a large section. While named Half Dome, the missing piece is likely a quarter, rather than half. Scientists believe the missing granite also eroded away as fast as it was exposed, rather than falling off in a dramatic event.

  • The white sand dunes of White Sand Dunes National Monument, New Mexico, appear blue and purple after sunset, reflecting the twilight sky. The white sand dunes are comprised of gypsum crystals, which is rarely found as sand because it is water-soluble. But the Tularosa Basin is surrounded by mountains and there is no direct outlet to the sea for any rain that falls there. Any water eventually drains through the ground leaving the gypsum behind in a crystalline form called selenite. White Sands National Monument is the largest gypsum dune field in the world.

The time between eruptions is growing longer on average, possibly because earthquakes have affected underground water levels. The current interval is either 65 or 91 minutes depending on attributes of the prior eruption.

During the 2011-2012 irruption, Ocean Shores on the Washington coast was the winter home for an especially large number of snowy owls. Snowy owls tend to prefer coastal and plains areas, which most resemble the open tundra that serves as their typical home.

  • A snowy owl (Nyctea scandiaca) is perched in a bare tree at Damon Point in Ocean Shores, Washington at dusk. Snowy owls, which spend the summer in the northern circumpolar region north of 60 degrees latitude, have a typical winter range that includes Alaska, Canada and northern Eurasia. Every several years, for reasons still unexplained, the snowy owls migrate much farther south in an event known as an irruption. During one irruption, a snowy owl was found as far south as the Caribbean. During the 2011-2012 irruption, Ocean Shores on the Washington coast was the winter home for an especially large number of snowy owls. Snowy owls tend to prefer coastal and plains areas, which most resemble the open tundra that serves as their typical home.
