这是你的土地 This land is your land

黄石下瀑布，怀俄明州，美国

虽然夏天即将结束，但现在收拾好装备，去户外探险还为时不晚。不知道该去哪里？那就去美国看看63个国家公园吧！1916年的今天，时任美国总统伍德罗·威尔逊签署《国家公园管理局组织法》，正式成立国家公园管理局，旨在“保护自然景观、野生动植物和历史遗迹，在供人们休闲娱乐的同时，不得破坏这些场所，并将之传诸后代”。无论是哪里的美景，只有小心呵护才能让这份美丽得以延续。

National Park Service anniversary

Though summer is winding down, it's not too late to pack some gear and head into the great outdoors. Unsure where to go? Look no further than our 63 national parks, which exist thanks to the National Park Service, created on this day in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson. He ordered the service to preserve the landscape, wildlife, and history of the parks 'in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.' In other words, the park service was established for all of us! Just make sure that whether you're visiting the islands of American Samoa, the glaciers of the North Cascades, the waterways of the Everglades, or the 308-foot Lower Falls of Yellowstone in today's image, that you explore them with care and appreciation so that they can be preserved for centuries to come.

斯科加瀑布，冰 岛

今天照片里的是冰岛的斯科加瀑布，它是冰岛最大的瀑布之一，有82英尺宽，垂直落差约200英尺。游客经常能在这里看到彩虹，甚至是双彩虹。传说，第一个踏足冰岛的维京人曾把一个宝箱藏在了斯科加瀑布后面，这又为这个瀑布增添了一丝神秘色彩。

这个瀑布在很多热门影视作品中都出现过，比如《雷神：黑暗世界》《慷慨的心》《权力的游戏》等等。瀑布附近还有一个斯科加博物馆，可以让人们了解冰岛的文化遗产。

Skógafoss waterfall, Iceland

Behold Skógafoss, one of Iceland’s largest waterfalls. This powerful cascade measures 82 feet across and drops 200 feet over what were once the sea cliffs of the country’s southern coast. The coastline receded seaward, but the cliffs remained, leaving behind this natural wonder, powered by water from two glaciers. Skógafoss, which translates as 'forest waterfall,' is frequently graced with single or double rainbows, formed by the refraction of sunlight through the mist. Legend has it that a treasure chest is hidden behind Skógafoss, left there by a Viking settler named Prasi Porolfsson.

The waterfall has appeared on the big screen, in 'Thor: The Dark World' and the Bollywood movie 'Dilwale,' as well as on TV in the final season of 'Game of Thrones.' The Skógar Museum, which offers insights into Iceland's cultural heritage, sits near the waterfall in Skógar village.

听它咆哮！ Hear it roar!

罕肯瀑布,威尔斯格雷省立公园

罕肯瀑布 (Helmcken Falls) 坐落在威尔斯格雷省立公园 (Wells Gray Province Park) 内，是一处令人惊叹的自然奇观。威尔斯格雷省立公园就是为了保护这座优美的瀑布而建立的。为政府工作的土地测量员罗伯特·亨利·李发现了这处大自然带给我们的天然珍宝。这座雄伟的瀑布是加拿大第五高的瀑布，从陡峭的大约有141米的高度火山岩悬崖上倾泻而下，释放出飘逸的雾气，在阳光下翩翩起舞，也形成了彩虹与瀑布相互映衬的绝美景观。

风景如画的瀑布

辛华达瀑布，贾斯珀国家公园，加拿大

辛华达瀑布位于加拿大艾伯塔省贾斯珀国家公园，落差约为18.5米。从著名的冰原大道下来，通过一条600米的通道便可到达该瀑布。

辛华达瀑布位于通往班夫国家公园的冰原大道旁边，由上下两个瀑布组成，水源来自阿萨巴斯卡冰川融水。上瀑布可以从观景停车场轻松到达，落差约18米。再走过一条长1.3公里的步道、穿过松树林，就到了下瀑布。辛华达瀑布的最佳参观时间是春末或初夏，那时是融雪的高峰期，也是瀑布水量最大的时候。

这个隐秘的瀑布在哪里？ Where is this hidden waterfall?

哥伦比亚河峡谷的瀑布，俄勒冈州，美国

俄勒冈州的哥伦比亚河峡谷中有大约90个瀑布，苔藓石窟瀑布就是其中一个高20英尺的迷你瀑布。苔藓石窟瀑布于2006年被发现，经由几位著名摄影师而名声大噪。与幽雅清静、潺潺作响的苔藓岩洞瀑布形成鲜明对比的，是世界上最高的瀑布——委内瑞拉的天使瀑布，其落差高达2648英尺，汹涌咆哮的奇观令人惊叹，是委内瑞拉最吸引游客的景点之一。如果你想要放松沉思片刻，建议寻找距离最近的瀑布，然后踏上亲近大自然的旅程吧。

Mossy Grotto Falls, Oregon

Mossy Grotto Falls is a tiny 20-foot waterfall in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge, home to around 90 waterfalls. This winsome waterfall became popular in recent years after several renowned photographers snapped it following its discovery in 2006. Waterfalls around the world draw our attention and inspire emotions (and even themes for pop songs). In contrast to the serene, burbling Mossy Grotto Falls, Angel Falls in Venezuela is the tallest in the world, where water plunges 2,648 feet before reaching the ground. This roaring wonder is awe-inspiring and one of the top tourist-draws in the country. If you need a moment of reflection, we recommend searching for the nearest waterfall and taking a trip to connect with nature.

雨后见彩虹 A rainbow that's worth the rainfall

威美亚峡谷上空的彩虹，夏威夷

威美亚峡谷被誉为“太平洋大峡谷”，是风景如画的怀波奥瀑布所在地。瀑布和峡谷河流的源头来自地球上降雨量最多的地方之一怀厄莱阿莱峰。大约400万年前，考艾岛火山坍塌了一部分，形成了一个洼地，随着威美亚河流的不断侵蚀，洼地逐渐变成了如今的威美亚峡谷。考艾岛地形多变，风景各不相同，如果你想探寻考艾岛的多样性，可以离开海滩，沿着蜿蜒的550高速公路进入山区，在到达怀波奥瀑布观景台之前，你会在沿途收获海岸和峡谷的壮丽景色。

Waimea Canyon and Waipo'o Falls, Kauai, Hawaii

Waimea Canyon, sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is home to the picturesque Waipo'o Falls. The water that flows through the falls and canyon descends from Mount Wai'ale'ale, one of the rainiest places on Earth. Around 4 million years ago, a portion of the volcanic Kaua'i collapsed, creating a depression that the Waimea River has further eroded into today's canyon. If you want to see the true variety of Kauai, leave the beach behind and take winding State Route 550 into the mountains. Along the way you will see stunning views of the shore and the canyon before arriving at the lookout for Waipo'o Falls.

这个悬崖怎么着火了？ Why is this cliffside ablaze?

马尾瀑布，约塞米蒂国家公园，加利福尼亚州

在约塞米蒂国家公园的埃尔卡皮坦山东侧，当所有自然条件齐备，马尾瀑布就像火一样“燃烧”起来。这种现象只有在2月的几周时间里可以看到，前提是天气晴朗，雪水或雨水形成瀑布，并且光照条件恰到好处。“火瀑布”只会持续大约10分钟，届时，观景区会人潮涌动。希望今年的游客能有幸看到这一神奇的自然景观。

Horsetail Fall, Yosemite National Park, California

When nature converges in rare and glorious fashion on the east side of the rock formation known as El Capitan, Horsetail Fall is illuminated as if on fire. This phenomenon can only be seen for a couple of weeks in February if there is a clear sky, enough water flowing from snowmelt or rain, and perfect timing. This 'firefall' only lasts for around 10 minutes and vantage points can be crowded. Horsetail Fall and El Capitan are part of Yosemite National Park, the second-oldest national park in the US. We hope this year's visitors are fortunate enough to see this magical display.

令人难忘的景色

加拿大阿尔伯塔省贾斯珀国家公园

贾斯珀国家公园拥有众多令人惊叹的瀑布，但唐格尔溪瀑布的多层瀑布构成了必看的奇观。瀑布位于阿尔伯塔省93冰原公园道附近，很容易到达。坦格尔溪瀑布（Tangle Creek Falls）的水雾在高速公路上也能感受到。如果你想拍一些令人惊叹的照片，那么下了高速公路，走近瀑布，真正沉浸在瀑布的美景中可能是值得的。

Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Jasper National Park boasts numerous breathtaking waterfalls, but the multi-tiered cascade of Tangle Creek Falls makes for a must-see spectacle. Located off the 93 Icefields Parkway in Alberta, the falls are easily accessed. Tangle Creek Falls' misty spray can be felt out on the highway itself. If you're looking to capture some breathtaking shots, it may be worth getting off the highway and going closer to the falls to truly soak in its beauty.
