The Great Lakes began to form at the end of the last ice age as retreating ice sheets carved basins into the land and they became filled with the melted water from the glaciers. This feature is unique because it is the warmest of the Great Lakes, but it also freezes over more than the rest of the Lakes. The lake was also a big battle site of the War of 1812. The image shows the thundering Niagara Falls (both the…

White hot lava bubbles as the beast shakes, it awakens. Ash falls from the sky as heat crawls down the mountain. The volcano erupts. Many people don’t know much about volcanoes, only that lava comes out.

However, volcanoes can help living things, and they can build as well. No matter where you live, volcanoes effect you. The question is, how? Volcanoes can…

The mountains were green and full of life which surprised me. I remember these mountains to be as dry and golden as can be during my last visit which was possibly 10 years ago.
