Image ID: 35449 Species: Hooded Nudibranch, Melibe leonina Location: British Columbia, Canada | Hooded Nudibranch Melibe leonina swimming in mid water column, Browning Pass, Vancouver Island, Canada. Image ID: 35452 Species: Hooded Nudibranch, Melibe leonina Location: British Columbia, Canada | 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: 23281 Location: Devils Postpile National Monument, California, USA |

| Balanced Rock, a narrow sandstone tower, appears poised to topple. Image ID: 27838 Location: Balanced Rock, Arches National Park, Utah, USA | July Column in the Place de la Bastille. The Place de la Bastille is a square in Paris, where the Bastille prison stood until the 'Storming of the Bastille' and its subsequent physical destruction between 14 July 1789 and 14 July 1790 during the French Revolution. The square straddles 3 arrondissements of Paris, namely the 4th, 11th and 12th. The July Column (Colonne de Juillet) which commemorates the events of the July Revolution (1830) stands at the center of the square.

| Balanced Rock, a narrow sandstone tower, appears poised to topple. Image ID: 27837 Location: Balanced Rock, Arches National Park, Utah, USA | Great white shark, research identification photograph. A great white shark is countershaded, with a dark gray dorsal color and light gray to white underside, making it more difficult for the shark's prey to see it as approaches from above or below in the water column. The particular undulations of the countershading line along its side, where gray meets white, is unique to each shark and helps researchers to identify individual sharks in capture-recapture studies. Guadalupe Island is host to a relatively large population of great white sharks who, through a history of video and photographs showing their countershading lines, are the subject of an ongoing study of shark behaviour, migration and population size.
