缓缓下降 A gentle descent
戈林格瀑布，萨尔茨堡，奥地利
从桀骜不驯的萨尔扎霍芬峡谷到世界上最古老的哈莱因盐矿，再到世界上最大的冰洞埃斯瑞森韦尔特，奥地利拥有众多奇观。萨尔茨堡州的戈林格瀑布无疑也是其中之一，这条平缓温和的瀑布，高249英尺，包含两条大瀑布，其中一条从施瓦茨巴赫瀑布洞口倾泻而下，汇入宁静如画的水潭。在这里，一年四季都能见到极致的美景，春日绿树成荫，冬日白雪皑皑。自1985年以来，该地区就被列为奥地利的自然保护区，无论你是喜欢徒步旅行、摄影，还是想拥抱大自然，这里都是一个绝佳的旅游目的地。
Golling Waterfall, Salzburg, Austria
This chilly scene captures Austria's stunning Golling Waterfall, less than 20 miles south of the city of Salzburg. Tumbling down in two stages from the mouth of the Schwarzbachfall cave, the 249-foot fall is a sight to behold in every season—whether it's framed by the lush greenery of spring or the icy embrace of winter. This region is known for its natural wonders and is also home to the world’s biggest ice cave, Eisriesenwelt, and the narrow Salzachöfen Gorge, considered to be the birthplace of white-water kayaking. Whether you are into hiking, photography, or just looking to spend some quality time in nature, this is a great Austrian destination.

瀑布变“冰瀑” Waterfalls turned waterfreeze
十六湖国家公园，克罗地亚
想不想一次性游览16个湖泊？克罗地亚的十六湖国家公园是该国最大、最古老的湖泊之一，其独特的地质特征为你提供了一个机会。马拉卡佩拉、梅德韦克和普列谢维察山脉的山坡将水引入普利特维采岛高原。这些水携带着沉淀的石灰岩，随着时间的推移，石灰岩逐渐积聚和硬化，形成了一系列被称为凝灰岩的岩石屏障。这些屏障形成水潭，细长的花边瀑布从一个“湖”通往另一个“湖”。这种雄伟的地质和水文景观也是联合国教科文组织认定的的世界遗产，它们吸引了超过一百万的游客前来参观蜿蜒于湖中的小径和木板路。即使在冬季，湖泊仍然美貌依旧，曾经咆哮的瀑布被冰封在原地形成绝美冰瀑。
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
Why visit one lake when you can visit 16? Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia serves up stunning terraced lakes connected to one another by more than 90 cascades and waterfalls, thanks to the unique geology of the area.
The surrounding mountains funnel water carrying calcium carbonate into the park. This accumulates and hardens over time into a type of limestone called tufa, which creates a series of barriers. These natural dams form pools, with thin, lacy waterfalls leading from one 'lake' to another. This majestic display draws more than a million visitors a year to the paths and boardwalks that wind through the lakes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even in winter, the lakes retain their beauty, with once-roaring waterfalls frozen in place.

大自然的威严 Nature's majesty awaits!
杜鲁门斯堡的州立托格汉诺克瀑布公园，纽约州
托格汉诺克瀑布公园位于纽约风景秀丽的手指湖区，是由流入卡尤加湖的溪流侵蚀雕刻而成的自然奇迹。这座美丽的公园不仅是托格汉诺克瀑布的所在地，还有迷人的小径、独特的岩石和众多野生动物。“托格汉诺克”这个名字的起源不明，但主流观点认为它结合了易洛魁语和阿尔冈昆语，大致的意思是“森林中的大瀑布”。该公园始建于1924年，在这里你既可以沿着小径徒步，欣赏瀑布和岩石的全貌，也可以在卡尤加湖潜水，亦或是带一副双筒望远镜观鸟。如果你的目光足够敏锐，就可以观测到火鸟、潜鸟以及大角鸮等当地鸟类。
Taughannock Falls State Park
Taughannock Falls State Park, in New York's scenic Finger Lakes area, is home to this magnificent waterfall of the same name, which plunges 215 feet over the cliffs into the gorge below. The park also boasts stunning pathways, unique rock formations, and numerous wild animals. It's not certain where the name Taughannock came from, though a leading theory says it is a combination of Iroquois and Algonquin terms, roughly translating to 'great fall in the woods.' The park, which was founded in 1924, guarantees visitors memorable adventures, whether you hike the rim paths for panoramic views of the falls and rock formations, take a plunge in Cayuga Lake, or bring a pair of binoculars for birding. A keen eye can spot winged locals such as turkey vultures, common loons, and great horned owls.

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.

溅起一潭水花 Making a splash
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。

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.
