A great red suspension bridge crossing a narrow mountainous harbor entrance   A great fountain of water and steam from a vent in the ground   A great waterfall pouring over a great gray cliff into a pine-forested valley   Large, round, shield-like cavern formations (stalagmites) in a cavernous passage  
A large, rounded outcrop of rock rises from a desert landscape with tall cylindrical cactus that have some branches   Polygons of salt crystals in a desert pool with barren, rocky mountains in the distance   A low, underground passage that splits into two tube-like passages   A great canyon carved deep through sedimentary layers into complex crystalline rocks at the bottom  
Tall sea stacks capped with pines along a sandy beach near sunset   Snow capped stone walls of an ancient ruined city in a broad desert cliff-sided valley   A great span of sandstone crossing a desert stream canyon   Dark rubble partially covers the toe of a glacier extending down from a rugged glacier-covered mountain peak in the distance  
A great star dune in a dunefield   A great stone tree trunk (fossil) in a desert badlands setting   A high, fortress-shaped mountaintop with a brushy pine tree in the foreground and a low flat desert landscape in the far distance beyond the peak   A great hogback of white, dipping sandstone runs along a great winding valley consisting of east dipping rock formations exposed in a sparcely vegetated landscape
