This iron pyrite ammonite fossil beautifully shows off one of the coolest features of these ancient animals. The fossils of these shells often have well preserved 'suture lines', the plant-like patterns in this picture.
The lava fountain had erupted and the leftover liquid lava inside the crater settled down. It shows off how incredibly beautiful the inside of the main crater of the Geldingadalir eruption was.

Perched 604 meters above the crystal waters of Lysefjord, Preikestolen, offers a breathtaking view of the Norwegian landscapes. The flat cliff, carved by glaciers millennia ago, creates a stunning natural platform that seems suspended between heaven and earth.

Amazing blowhole (Iran).
A blowhole or marine geyser is formed as sea caves grow landwards and upwards into vertical shafts and expose themselves towards the surface.

Beautiful example of syncline (a fold facing upwards) from Racha, Georgia. There are many folds like this one in the region: they formed as a result of the mountain building event that generated the Caucasus mountain belt.
