April 27, 2011, flooding of the Souris (Mouse) River near Westhope, North Dakota. The small building is the U.S. Geological Survey gage house and is normally on the river bank and raised so that one needs to take stairs up to get into the gage house. There is also an access road next to the gage house and electrical pole.

This thermal image was taken from the south rim of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater, showing the lava lake within the crater. Hotter surfaces, such as the narrow zones between crustal plates, are shown by yellow and white colors. Cooler surfaces, such as the cooled lava around the lake, are shown by blue and black colors.
