Leopard Seal, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica, 2006

Photograph by Paul Nicklen

A mature female leopard seal makes a threatening gesture to protect her kill from another leopard seal that had appeared behind the photographer. "More frightening than the canines," wrote the photographer, "was the deep jackhammer sound she let loose that rattled through my chest." Her display worked; the rival seal moved on.

Pontoon Rafting, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, 2006

Photograph by Michael Nichols

Rafters aboard a motorized pontoon boat get a thorough soaking on the rain-swollen Colorado River in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park. Each year, some 22,000 visitors board rubber paddle rafts, oar-powered wooden dories, and luxury motorized rafts to ply this storied stretch of the Colorado's waters.

Beaufort Sea, Yukon Territory, Canada, 1999

Photograph by Michael Melford

Sunset over the Beaufort Sea plunges Canada's Yukon Territory into a crimson haze. More than 313,000 tourists make summer pilgrimages to the territory, one of North America's last great wildernesses. Today tourism booms there, drawing adventurers to the frontier's glaciated peaks, untouched wilderness, and abundant wildflowers and wildlife.

Mountain Stream, New Hampshire, 1995

Part of the Appalachian Mountains, the Whites, as they're called locally, are home to 6,300-foot (1,916-meter) Mount Washington, tallest mountain in Northeastern United States and record-holder for the fastest winds on Earth—231 miles an hour (372 kilometers an hour).

This is not a 'photo of the day,' but I thought it was post-worthy!

QUOTE
This unbelievable photo was taken by Frans Lanting for National Geographic. The caption reads, "Tinted orange by the morning sun, a soaring dune is the backdrop for the hulks of camel thorn trees in Namib-Naukluft Park."

The image can be found in the June issue of National Geographic, available on newsstands May 30th.
