This Tiny Octopus, Whose Body Measured About Five Centimeters Across, Was Spotted Swimming Along At A

This waterfall is called Honokohau Falls and it is located in the West Maui Mountains in Hawaii.

The falls drop from atop the mountains into a pool halfway down the cliff face. The water spills from a small pool and plunges another several hundred feet to another pool at the bottom of the mountain. The total drop of this waterfall is 1,119 feet! The only way to view the waterfall is by helicopter since the area where it is located is in an inaccessible section of the valley.

River Bends Through 1,000-Foot Canyons

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station shot this photograph of the Green River flowing through deep, red rock canyons in eastern Utah. A main tributary of the Colorado River, the Green flows 730 miles (1,175 kilometers) through Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. The portion of the Green River in this image is just north of Canyonlands National Park.

Bowknot Bend was named for the way the river loops back on itself. Located in Labyrinth Canyon about 25 miles west of Moab, Utah, this river bend runs 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) in a circular loop and ends up 1,200 feet (360 meters) from where it first started. When the two sides of the river merge someday, Bowknot Bend will break off from the main channel and form a lake.
