STS113-715-25 Black Hills, WY-SD, USA: This forested, isolated uplift on the Wyoming - South Dakota border is also noted for it minerals, scenery, and colorful history.

STS113-357-2 Santa Fe, NM, USA under light dusting of snow with southern end of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

STS113-715-13 Straight Cliffs, Lake Powell, Colorado River and Plateau, AZ-UT, USA.

STS113-715-1 Ouachita Mountains, OK-AR, USA: The weathered folds of this ancient range of mountains run east-west from west central Arkansas into southeastern Oklahoma.

STS113-332-30 Mount Etna Volcano erupting, Sicily, Italy: This south-looking oblique view shows snowy, winter-time Mt. Etna with a brown smutty ash plume in an unusually three-dimensional view. Sunset view, Dec. 14, 2002.

STS113-332-35 Mount Etna Volcano erupting, Sicily, Italy: This strongly oblique, south-looking view, shows Mt. Etna's dark ash plume rising above the general altitude of storm clouds over the Mediterranean Sea at sunset on Dec. 14, 2002.

STS113-708-14 Patagonia lakes, southern Argentina: The lowest of three lake in this view is Lake Argentino in Argentina. The next one north (middle lake) is Lake Viedma, and the lake on the top margin is Lake San Martín. All three of these large lakes have been carved out by glaciers of the last ice age, descending from the Andes Mountains (under cloud along the right side of the view). Three glacier tongues can be discerned as small white features leading into the western (left) ends of each lake. The rounded ends of the lakes are produced by the slow action of flowing glacial ice on the plains next to the mountain chain. Snow on lower peaks next to the cloud make a jagged pattern.

STS113-323-17 Chico and O'Higgins Glaciers flow from the northeastern portion of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field into Lake O'Higgins in southeastern Chile.

STS113-323-20 Bravo and Mellizo Sur Glaciers flow from the northeastern portion of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field into Lake O'Higgins in Chile.

STS113-323-22 Mount San Lorenzo (12,200 ft) supports a small ice field with glaciers feeding Lake Belgrano in southwestern Argentina.
