Today’s Photo of the Day comes from Curt Storlazzi, a research oceanographer for the U.S. Geological Survey. This underwater image was taken in Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and shows a wave breaking over a section of coral reef. A healthy coral reef can help reduce the wave’s energy by the time it reaches the shoreline, to prevent island flooding. See more images from the U.S. Geological Survey here.

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from Laura Zirino and was taken in Bryce Canyon using a Canon EOS 5D Mark III
with a EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens at 1/5 sec, f/10 and ISO 100. Zirino says that the sunrise that morning wasn’t doing much for her and she wasn’t interested in taking the stereotypical shots that every tourist captures so she pulled out a zoom lens to get a different perspective. “The sun was right behind the hoodoos at Inspiration Point so I knew they’d get this amazing glow,” she says of the image.
