| Sapphire devil (blue damselfish), female/juvenile coloration. Image ID: 11834 Species: Sapphire devil, Chrysiptera cyanea | Galapagos sea lion, Devils Crown. Image ID: 01707 Species: Galapagos sea lion, Zalophus californianus wollebacki, Zalophus californianus wollebaeki Location: Floreana Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador | Devil's Postpile, a spectacular example of columnar basalt. Once molten and under great pressure underground, the lava that makes up Devil's Postpile cooled evenly and slowly, contracting and fracturing into polygonal-sided columns. The age of the formation is estimated between 100 and 700 thousand years old. Sometime after the basalt columns formed, a glacier passed over the formation, cutting and polishing the tops of the columns. The columns have from three to seven sides, varying because of differences in how quickly portions of the lava cooled. Image ID: 23266 Location: Devils Postpile National Monument, California, USA |

| Devil Island, Antarctica Peninsula. Image ID: 26373 Location: Devil Island, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica | The Giraffe Traps, or what is officially known as Two Running Violet V Forms, was the second piece in the Stuart Collection at University of California San Diego (UCSD). Commissioned in 1983 and produced by Robert Irwin, the odd fence resides in the eucalyptus grove between Mandeville Auditorium and Central Library. Image ID: 12842 Location: University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, USA | Devils Golf Course, California. Evaporated salt has formed into gnarled, complex crystalline shapes in on the salt pan of Death Valley National Park, one of the largest salt pans in the world. The shapes are constantly evolving as occasional floods submerge the salt concretions before receding and depositing more salt.
