Yosemite Horsetail Fall

"Horsetail Fall, located in Yosemite National Park in California, is a seasonal waterfall that flows in the winter and early spring. The fall occurs on the East side of El Capitan. There are a few days every February where this fall is lit up by the setting sun and reflects a bright orange."

Arctic Elephant-Foot Glacier

This may be called the Arctic Elephant-Foot Glacier, but to me it looks more like a giant frozen squashed Platypus.

And this is what a giant frozen squashed platypus looks like when it's snowed under:
