Fog nearly obscures a brown bear on the shore of Katmai National Park in Alaska. The park is home to several large lakes and miles of stretching Shelikof Strait coastline. The largest population of protected brown bears in North America—some 2,000—is often found fishing in salmon-filled Brooks Falls, a visitor favorite.

Natural hot springs in Big Bend National Park, Texas, provide a warm vantage point for watching the sun set over the Rio Grande river. The river winds south along the Texas-Mexico border, passing through three major canyons and lush floodplains within the park on its way to the Gulf of Mexico.

Photograph by Paul Chesley, National Geographic

Sea and mist swirl through an ancient lava flow, a legacy of Haleakala volcano on the northeast coast of Maui, Hawaii. According to legend, it is here where the demigod Maui snared the sun, releasing it only after it promised to move more slowly across the sky.

Historic Fort Jefferson towers over Florida’s Dry Tortugas National Park. This archipelago, made up of seven low-lying islands, is home to some of the healthiest coral reefs remaining off North American shores. Only 40 acres (16 hectares) of the park's 100 square miles (260 square kilometers) are above water, creating a marine life sanctuary.

An ice bridge towers over kayakers in a Kenai Fjords National Park glacial lake. Water is everywhere in the smallest of Alaska's national parks—the land challenges the sea with talon-like peninsulas and rocky headlands, while the ocean itself reaches inland with long fjords and hundreds of quiet coves and bays.

Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, erupts over Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. Kilauea shares the island with another of the world’s most active volcanoes, Mauna Loa, which at 19,000 cubic miles (79,195 cubic kilometers) in volume, makes it the biggest mountain on Earth. The ocean laps against the base of these explosive giants.

Samoa is also home to miles of pristine beach on the sparsely populated island of Ofu, fringed by a 350-acre (140-hectare) coral reef.
