| Bigeye trevally jacks, motion blur, schooling. Image ID: 16347 Species: Bigeye jack, Caranx sexfasciatus Location: Darwin Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador | Surf grass on the rocky reef -- appearing blurred in this time exposure -- is tossed back and forth by powerful ocean waves passing by above. San Clemente Island. Image ID: 10237 Species: Surfgrass, Phyllospadix Location: San Clemente Island, California, USA | Racetrack sailing stone and star trails. A sliding rock of the Racetrack Playa. The sliding rocks, or sailing stones, move across the mud flats of the Racetrack Playa, leaving trails behind in the mud. The explanation for their movement is not known with certainty, but many believe wind pushes the rocks over wet and perhaps icy mud in winter.
